I think this is what the aim is in 4.1 All of the sidebars are in the vendor hierarchy, which would make installing new ones simple, theoretically. I haven't looked into the sidebar code itself, to see what kind of database tie-ins exist, and how they work, but I think this is one of the goals. > Seems like making the gallery an optional add-on to Typo would satisfy both > camps: (a) those that want a gallery feature in Typo and (b) those that want > a Typo w/o the gallery. Is there an good way to do this? That's the goal of a plug-in architecture. Hopefully, this can be achieved, without re-writing my sidebars too many more times ;) > > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Rose [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit my blog! http://folkwolf.net He's a jaded devious master criminal looking for 'the Big One.'
