(I am having problems sending to the mailing list - the emails never seem
to go through - I don't receive them or see them on Lyris' list.  If
anyone even sees this message, please let me know!)

Hello, first of all - thank you to the contributors of this list for all
your help on the development of my first site using Farcry.  I haven�t
asked any questions yet, but the answers given to others in the last two
months that I have been subscribed have been extremely helpful.

On the site I am creating, I have extended dmImage to include a new
property called LinkURL.  When a dmNews item is created, and an image is
added to the news item, the user will have the option to enter a URL that
the image will link to from the news article.  The reason I did not extend
dmNews with this property is because I would like the ability to have
multiple images linking to multiple places.

This works, but it results in a lot of code being copied from the core
directory into my application directory.  Extending dmImage is not a
problem, but to add in one extra field to dmNews, I had to extend the edit
method, and copy over the whole �edit� and �plpedit� folder and its
contents.  The only file that was modified was �_edit/plpedit/images.cfm��
Is there a way I can tell the PLP to look for that file in my directory
and the rest of the steps in the core directory without changing the core?

Also, is there a reason that the contents of the images.cfm plp step is
duplicated in every type? Wouldn�t it be better to have the �saving� part
of that step as a shared function or included file somewhere so the code
wouldn�t be in dmNews, dmEvents, each custom type, etc...?

Thanks in advance!

Paul Gallo
