RE: [Slashcode-development] Side effects of making a topic a nexus?

[Gaulin, M. <mg...@gl...>]

Hi Shane
I don't think I want the topic to be a skin, but that may be because I =
don't know what a skin is for. Looking at the skins table definition, it =
seems that you want a skin if you want to have a different host name, =
indexhandler, and I'm not sure, but does it also give you a distinct set =
of articles on the "home" page (for that host name)?  I don't want any =
of those things for this topic/nexus (called Book Reviews), I just want =
to have topic_nexus_extras that are different than the Main Page (it's =
parent topic).

Are nexuses and skins always supposed to be 1-to-1?  I would think not, =
but that could be part of my problem.

Thanks
	Mark

I don't think so. Just realize that making it a nexus doesn't=20
necessarily make it a skin, if that's what you're going after.
