If you do ?p=code.skinvars&action=rename and change it to code.snippets, you should be able to restore site functionality. > I just grasped the concept of skin vars.

And are 'snippets' on that page restricted to single lines? Actually this is one reason for the change. It is much broader than just setting certain values like site title or site name. It can contain any kind of code, including html, javascript, & css (but not PHP). Unfortunately there's a problem currently I wasn't aware of. Originally, the pattern was delimited by field: some text\n\n. So you could have multiline snippets. Unfortunately the code now reroutes through the info var function, which just goes to the end of the line. I'll fix it one way or another in the next release though. So for now you can only do single line values. But because you are supposed to be able to do multiple line snippets, not just simple skin "vars". I was hoping by changing the name it would not only better capture the concept, but also encourage more creative use of it. BoltWire has many features in it that have not really been tapped into yet. Just waiting for good developers to discover and use. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I've always appreciated the quality of your work. And am happy to help you modify BoltWire to make it work better if I can. > I see you want to reduce one [(include)] of action links. But can you > have multi-line values for the skin vars? My immediate problem was the > restoration of my action links which are a multi-line list of links. See my comment above. It's supposed to, but it's temporarily broken. I'll fix soon. Probably later today. Cheers, Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
