What has been done through Week 7

• Added XDebug for the Codespaces environment. This will make it much easier and faster for us to find and fix bugs going forward.
• Replied to some GitHub issues to get a clearer picture of what was needed and evaluating it before attempting a fix.
• Researched current issues and trying out potential solutions. some of them were already by other new pull requests.

• Added phpMyAdmin inside the codespace, so now we have a simple way to look at and manage the database directly from the browser.

Next week plans 

• Reviewing present issues on the weblinks repository and fixing any existing from last weeks pull requests.
• Adding a new feature that lets users show or hide the parent category in the weblinks module. This will be great for backward compatibility and give users more control.
• Writing more Cypress tests to help us catch any future bugs and ensure the module stays stable.
