There was the Olson skin prior to 6.0 that did this, and it was indeed costly. with the db backend, it should be less costly now. The skin was removed due to memory optimisations, since the skin required a few extra modules loaded. if you want to see how that skin worked, just look through a 5.4.x release and look at Olson*.pm modules for the server-side.
adding checkboxes might be a bit more complicated since this would effectively be changing all those templates into forms. Not only would the require a large amount of skin rework, but also the backend changes to Pages.pm for providing the needed objects, and HTTP.pm to process the form. The longer you stare at the code, the less 'difficult' it would become, unless 'more than 10 lines of code' does't qualify for the easy category. If you decide to take it on, feel free to post any questions to have to the developers forum/list for help. -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
