Hey
All! A buddy of mine has been working on this and thought this might be
a nice thing to add into the new Mambo Release! It is ready to be
released as a patch (not an official one though; ONLY FOR MAMBO
4.5.2.2!!!!).
************The README************************
June 2005
I strongly urge the Mambo development team to consider using a checkbox
style when designing user interfaces with complex data sets.
There is no reason to force the user to scroll through a vertical list
of hierarchical data, and use the "control-click" hack to do multiple
selections.
This is 2005, let's try some innovation here and help out the poor users with a stunning interface.
keep up the great work. May I also suggest using an XML parser for all
content being generated from the Mambo files, including 3rd party
plugins.
moving 100% to XML will ::
* clean up the code.. No more APPENDING HTML strings. that is dangerous and not very OO. Move toward XSL as the Java scene has.
* help keep experienced Java developers like myself from complaining that PHP code one step away from spaghetti slop.
* prevent \' escape \'\n hell & these >>types<< of
problems that can screw with presentation / javascript especially.
* Create mature codebase that is respected to develop on.
