Project Review Wednesday: Link favicon formatter
Published by Scott Reynen
There are currently 96 new Drupal contributors awaiting review of their first project. This is a great place to contribute to the community and learn about interesting upcoming projects, for example...
Module: Link favicon formatter
What does it do?
The Link favicon formatter module adds a link field formatter that displays the link with a favicon, the little icon you normally see in your browser's address bar.
Potential Uses
For any site with lists of links, it can be tedious for users to read through the whole list to find the link they want. Favicons can provide a quick visual indicator of where links are going.
Look Useful? Review it!
If this sounds like something you'd like to see readily available on Drupal.org, you should review it and help make that happen.
Pro Tip: If you've never reviewed a project application before, you can find instructions for reviewers on Drupal.org and the Code Review group is happy to help more people get involved.
Thanks for posting this. It has been suggested that it should be a patch to the link module, rather than it's own module. What are your thoughts? Where is the line drawn between patching a module and making a module that extends functionality?
