It's just an idea right now. We'll have to see how it works out when we get to the implementation! :) My thinking right now though is to have not only a barn/system dir (to be renamed system/pages) but also a farm/pages dir (to be called shared/pages). BoltWire first checks the local site folder, then the shared folder, then the system folder. In this way I can put all the extra CMS pages in the shared folder without affecting the main core. Admins can also add their own pages to this folder and have them suddenly become available to all their sites. That will be a worthwhile feature in itself. And it will make a BoltWire CMS version easy to implement. Cheers, Dam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
