something linkt this, but acutally a bit differnt:
<mm:node>
<mm:function name="functionname" />
</mm:node>
or
<mm:node>
<mm:functioncontainer>
<mm:param name="name" value="valkue" /?>
<mm:function name="functionname" />
</mm:functioncontainer>
</mm:node>
or
<mm:node>
<mm:functioncontainer>
<mm:param name="name" value="valkue" /?>
<mm:booleanfunction name="functioname">
yes!
</mm:booleanfunction>
</mm:functioncontainer>

There are currently no extra MMCI methods, it is e.g. using the already existing
function.getFunctionValue(name, parameters);
Using the MMCI object Node you can however request its functions via a
'function factory'. But of course a method 'getFunctionParmaeters' (or so)
could be added to MMCI itself.

So, for the moemnt: none.

I'd suppose you would place these kind of XML's in <config>/functions
Such an XML would contain things like:
<function name="getPostings">
<description>List the postings within a
postthread</description>
<type>class</type>
<class>org.mmbase.applications.forums.gui.Controller</class>
<method>getPostings</method>
<param name="forumid" type="String" description="MMBase node
num
ber of the forum" />
<param name="postareaid" type="String" description="MMBase
node
number of the postarea" />
<param name="postthreadid" type="String" description="MMBase
nod
e number of the postthread" />
<param name="posterid" type="int" description="MMBase node
numbe
r of current Poster (on the page)" />
<param name="page" type="int" description="Page number of
the th
reads we want" />
<param name="pagesize" type="int" description="The number of
pos
tings per page">5</param>
<return type="NodeList">
</return>
</function>

No, but scb2 can undoubtly explain better what they are and how they work.
This vote is a prerequisite for these editors.
