It'd be helpful if the htmlarea module expected to find htmlarea in modules/htmlarea/HTMLArea-CVS rather than in misc/htmlarea. It would eliminate an installation step and make the module more consistent with most other contrib modules.

Plus, it'd make it easier for me to be lazy while pulling the modules I use from CVS. :)

I want to do this, but at this stage I am missing a function from core that will enable me to do this.

Basically what I want is a module_path() function that will return the filename of the module and then I can do a have the rest of htmlarea residing in that directory along with everything else. This means that I will have no problems with paths or anything. If you want to see what I mean talk a look at my navtree module which you can download from my website www.heydon.com.au

I do have a patch, but I need to test it, before I post it.

I have submitted the following patch for core, which will then allow me to make a clean change to htmlarea to put everything under a directory in modules

A patch providing similar functions has landed: It looks like you should be able to use module_get_path('htmlarea') to obtain the htmlarea path.

I have completed this change and I like it because now I can make changes directly in my cvs version and commit them.
