[Nucleus-devel] New code

[Jaime <ja...@sn...>]

	I just committed a lot of new code to the CVS server in the last 24
hours.  The following is a list of what I can remember doing.  :)

	The API for themes has been improved.  You can now use
menu-line.tmpl to define the look of a single "line" in the menu.  Note
that a line could be missing <BR>s and <LI>s and the like, allowing a
theme to use a horizontal menu if desired.  You can also use menu-pre.tmpl
and menu-post.tmpl to insert additional HTML and text before and after the
menu.  The theme docs are not yet updated for this.  The Testing theme, is
updated and can be used for reference.

	The main menu's contents may include PHP commands.  This
includes sessLink() function calls, conditionals, and more.  By default,
the menu is now built out of basic sessLink() calls.  One menu command
even includes an if statement, allowing it to be a Login/Logout toggle.

	The database structure and contents have changed again.  The MySQL
file is updated, but the PostgreSQL file is not.  Can anyone out there do
this for me?  I'm not familiar with PostgreSQL.

	Logout abilities are now part of Nucleus.  The new default
database contents include a Logout command if the user is logged in.

	A new theme was contributed by one of the people on this list and
added to the CVS server.  Unfortunately, within a few hours it became out
of date.  If that theme's author is willing to re-write it, I would be
grateful and would update the CVS server's copy.  In fact, it was this
theme's author who pointed out that the old theme API couldn't handle
horizontal menus.  So I guess that you can say, "Be careful what you ask
for."  ;)

	The sessLink() function was changed slightly.  It still behaves
the same, but the second and third parameters changed places.  All code in
the CVS server (that I know of) is updated to reflect this.  This change
also makes use of sessLink() a little easier.  This will be handy for
people who try to change their main menu.  :)

	I added a FAQ module.  Its extremely basic.  All it does is
include() config/faq.txt.  But it was useful for helping me to test the
new main menu system.  If anyone would like to suggest things for it, I'm
open to suggestions.  Otherwise, it will remain a simple include() system
for now.  Eventually it may become a webmaster-edit-able system for a
complex FAQ.  But I want to get the weblog and links directory working
first.
