Hokay, so... I was pounding out some ideas with Matt, Andrew, Chris, and Ali and this is what we came up with:
1) decouple content types from output options. so instead of "Post" and "Page" content types, we just have one all-purpose "General" content type. Other content types can be implemented later such as "Poll", "Video", whatever. 2) On the "Settings" for each new content type an option would be added "Is page". By default, this option would be un-checked. That means that each new entry added shows up in the blog-chronology. If a user chooses the "is page" option, it is removed from the chronology. This is commonly known as a "Page". So what does this mean? It means that if you want a new Poll, you can choose to have it mixed in with your blog entries, or you can have it stand-alone. Or any other content type. Currently, when you want a Page, you just get "text". You don't get any of the options you get with a content type. Basically, then, you can have any content within or outside the chronological list of traditional blog posts. This is a subset of what I had proposed in #417. Basically, the first half. Discussing with the gents, they didn't feel that the user-base would be comfortable going all the way with other ways to output content (in sections defined by the theme). ~Randy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
