[Chameleon] Creating my own Widget

Hello all,
I am trying to create my own widget and I am running into some problems. I
am trying to create a hotlink widget which will work similar to identify but
will open a webpage when the location on the map is clicked. I plan to do
this by copying and modifying the query widget.
I started by simply copying the query widget and renaming it. I wanted to
check that it still worked once the name has been changed. It doesn't! So
far, I changed the folder name to Hotlink, I have changed QueryResults.phtml
to HotlinkResults.phtml and Query.widget.php to Hotlink.widget.php. I have
also changed in Hotlink.widget.php the class and constructor names from
Query to Hotlink (as per instructions in an old thread I found in the
chameleon archives).
When I click on my hotlink button the map redraws and nothing happens. If I
click the same point with my identify/query button I get a popup window with
the query results. Since I haven't changed any of the actual functionality
yet, both buttons should produce the same results.
Are there other places where I have to change/add to files so that my new
widget will be recognized? In an older message someone mentioned changing
the MapDHTMLWidget.widget.php but I couldn't tell where it should be changed
(I did a text search for query).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
