But the work continues so here is a little to list. Now that the backend is totally seperate the next thing to do is to seperate the themes. The control panel will have its own theme uninfluenced by the frontend choice. This way the code becomes simpler and things like blocks and menus don't clutter the interface. The ideal would be to have the backend look like that of Joomla! CMS. The module area is cleaned up and the code for settings has been changed so that module don't push a link into the menu system. The next thing to do is to create a similar catch all system for the admin hook. The Control Panel is in place replacing the log view with an actual interface. The system.inc file needs some new functions to take care of outputing links and information for this page. The installer is broken and needs to be fixed. The setting.php will be moved at the same time and the naming changed to make it easier to find and adjust. i18n will be installed as part of core and FireOrb will have some hard defaults for language. This will fix many of the problems with multi-language websites and permissions on translations. The path rewrite to include "/en" parameter will be removed and be made into the more conventional &lang=en querystring. FireOrb will have its own website although the blog will remain here at Hiveminds. A forum will be set up but not using the built-in FireOrb forum. People will have to sign-up for this seperately which is an inconvenience. But this one little inconvenience offsets hundreds of others when the forum has real subscriptions and other needed functionality. That it for now. I am sure the list will grow. But this is enough to keep me busy over the weekend. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:56:02 -0700 Developer Zone FireOrb
