Currently you can cut and paste tabs into BoltWire and it will convert
them to 5 spaces or so. You could always write a markup pattern that
did the same with \t. But they don't line up like tabs. I don't think
that's really possible in html.

The problem is not just getting recursiveness to work. We had that
somewhat working at various points in the past--but I did run into
some technical problems. The format I used was [(func (func2
(func3)))]. Looked ok but limits the ability to use () inside
functions. The other issue is timing. I want some functions to process
after conditions for example, and others before. So using our current
syntax overcomes both of those problems and has worked really well.

I've tried implementing this but could not get it to work properly.
I'm open to code suggestions. But it's not trivial.

To be honest, I don't know how to do this. When the server sends
index.php to the php interpreter and triggers BoltWire, it generates
the html output that becomes the page. to do what you are asking we
would have to somehow send it back a second time to allow further
processing of any php in the output. Which isn't really possible. We
could have embed scan for a <? ?> pattern and try executing the code
contained in it. But I'm not to keen on using eval any more than I
have to. Big security problem. More suitable for a plugin or
something. Just not sure how it would work.

Ok, I've taken a look at this and don't have a good solution. There is
a check in the include function that keeps the same page from being
included more than once. This is to prevent infinite loops which lock
up your site. A very elegant suggestions someone offered awhile back.
But it doesn't work in this situation. I'm open to suggestions on how
to fix this. Options:
1) Put a configurable max include limit which would allow you to
include a page 5 or 10 times but no more.
2) A way to turn off the flag if the contents include do not include
the string "(include".
This latter option might be the best... Seems adding this line to the
very end of the include function (just before it says "return $out;"
does the trick reasonably well:
if (strpos($out, '(include') === false) $BOLTincludedPages[$page] =
false;
You get a bit odd results if you put something like [(include {p})] on
a page along with other includes to the same page, but you don't get
the infinite loop. So maybe this works ok...

You can always override any function in BoltWire very easily. First,
you can create your own custom login2 command (based off the core
function) and then just use that in your actions instead of login. But
to be more clever about it, you can use toolmapping to connect login
to login2 so your function is used instead of mine. Just put this in
the config.php just before your custom login2 command:
$BOLTtoolmap['f']['login'] = 'login2';
This means whenever BoltWire sees a login command it will map that
over to your custom login2 function.
Second it seems you could easily enough setup a line or two in your
login form to check and see if an account with the given email exists.
It would look something like:
[session search "group=login data="email={=email} fmt=count"]
[session if "equal {search} 1 ? warn=Account with this email account exists..."]
Not tested, just a quick shot. Would this work for your needs? Maybe
I'll add this to my site!

Thanks for the encouragement. It is always a work in progress. But I
am very happy with the way it has turned out. It is working
beautifully for me on my site. Thanks for everyone's input.
Cheers,
Dan
