Re: [pLog-General] change in mylink.class.php

[Oscar R. <os...@re...>]

I think it looks good enough to be added into the core. We need a  
timestamp field in the links table in any case, so this is a good  
moment to add it.

The bad news is that it won't be included in 0.3.1 because by  
definition, no changes in the structure of the database should be made  
in minor releases... Oh well, it'll have to wait for 1.0 :)

And now that I see this, I will take a look at the part that generates  
the different feeds so that adding a feed is just a matter of dropping  
a .template file to the templates/rss/ folder (now also some changes to  
the code are needed, as Nick found out)
