Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Bit O' Code to Add Layout Box

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

That's what the create_temp() function does in layout/class/Box.php

I used that in an update to the announcement module to split the  
view_small and view_full views from using the same content variable.  
just call create_temp in update.php.

Yes it's a crap function name. One of the other modules did the same  
in one of it's updates.
