Hi Carl,
I appreciate the email update, still here, just a little busy.
I am still using my modified version of 0.05.
Version 0.07a looks promising although I will probably upgrade to the next version only because of some issues with 0.07a.
Here is some feed back:
-------------------
Great work. each of the editors work as expected. Personaly I like the plain text editor.
-------------------
The choice of three xdbcms logos works well and outputs correctly.
-------------------
The page Title is not displayed in the browser title bar.
-Hmm I checked the generated html code I can see that the <title></title> and closing </head>
and opening <body> tags are not generated this needs a look at.
-------------------
The menu still outputs graphic elements by default? eg:In a table instead of as a plain <ul> list?
Is there a special menu tag that tell xdbcms to output as a <ul> list eg:[[menu:plain]]?
-------------------

Thanks for the feedback - I thought everyone had given up because of the "slow" point just before Christmas...
I'll check on the issues you've mentioned and get back to you. - I still think that the tinyMCE editor needs a lot more 'hammering' to make sure that it's robust - not the program itself, but that the HTML thats produced is compatible with the rest of the xdbcms system.
True, the graphic elements is the default menu option, - have you tried MENU:TRANSPARENT? - which uses a CSS based menu - Saying that there isn't a <ul> list method - might be an idea to slip into the next release....

Carl,
You have been busy, I should have read the version history for version 0.06 with the new menu tags : 'MENU', 'MENU:TREE', 'MENU:TRANSPARENT', and 'MENU:TOP' time to play around.
And I see that in the version 0.07 notes that you mention at the end "start work on bringing cascading style sheets under the control of XDBCMS" Can you share you thoughts on this. Will CSS be treated as an internal object in the database and selectable just like the templates?
Ciao

Thanks Gio - hopefully you'll like the new menu system...
I'm still thinking through the CSS definition stuff, at the moment, I think I'm favouring a table which consists of Name (which contains the CSS tag/class name), and then an 'open' text field which would contain the css style text. - All the definitions would then be put together into a single file which would be output when generate is called.
I'd have to define a whole set of 'default' values in case you don't want to change CSS values though...
Defining the data by class name means that I can look to include the name in the tinyMCE style pull down menu.
What do you think....?
Carl.

Thankyou

Carl,
The <ul> list method is used by me to output a styled Site Map (can I suggest the tag be named [[SITEMAP]] or [[MENU:SITEMAP]]) ?

Giovanni,
I was wondering where the titles went.
Is a fix available?
Thankyou
Georg
Hi Georg,
I've already updated the pre-release (version 0.08) code to fix this, it should be out next week... together with the next set of updates...
