[Chameleon] Creating my own Widget

[Robin Robin]

Thank you.  I fogot to mention that I did in fact change that line of code.  
I also changed this one:
$this->moPopup->mszLink = 
$_SESSION['gszCoreWebPath']."widgets/Hotlink/HotlinkResults.phtml";
to point to my HotlinkResults.phtml.

Thanks for the advice though.
