Hi guys, I think that there are a number of issues here we need to decide on. 1. The use of JavaScript - I am not sure that we should use it at all and if we do we need to test it thoroughly on different browsers. There are also many users on the Internet (like myself) who use browsers like Lynx and therefore aren't interested in the frills that JavaScript supposedly supplies. What we could do is to allow the user (not the site administrator) to decide on whether to allow JavaScript. This could be done under the section where a user can change his password. An additional option could be there for JavaScript as a boolean value in the database. Something like javascript_flag. 2. The menubars at the top could have different configurable looks. Like, a text only, images and a JavaScript mouse_over image. These could either be configurable from the sites config.inc.php3 or from a database field for an individual user. Or maybe the default in the config.inc.php3 The menu bar should be included from one file that is included on all the pages. Where should this go? 3. The color scheme for the site, front page and directory listings should be configurable. This is probably best done from a site config file. This would go in the config directory. We need to work out a structure for these config files and include files. The config files should go into the config directories and we probably need something included from the header.inc.php3 file that will do things like print out the <body> tag with the appropriate colors set, include the button bars and then set up the color information for the file listings and other tables. What do you guys think?
