Tee hee

Look at the .info file and the last line. This is a list of properties page tabs that this template supports.

When drawing the properties panel it checks this array to see what options to provide. It isn't perfect - but it does allow for toggling to be put in place.

What’s still remaining? I thought from Pat’s last updates that the template modularization is pretty much done…

However, would it be good to move some of the properties tabs out of where they are and into the actual templates? Things like sharing and permissions might stay (but can perhaps be over-ridden). Just thinking that for a jQuery based template you may want some options that allow for example an easy was (a tab with a checkbox within) to switch from using the CDN jquery link (if for example you are mainly delivering that LO to mobile devices over 3G) to reduce bandwith… not the best example but would make it more flexible… again I’m thinking of the way Wordpress/Drupal provides hooks to augment admin and content areas…

If the tabs were built from an array or JSON object then a file in the template could extend the number and content of the tabs…

Should we start putting these ideas all into the existing Google Docs or into a new one and should we ask the community for their wishlist…

It would be good to go over this whole modularisation debate, yes, and look to put it straight.

Wasn't planning to.
If others aren't either what about a scheduled online meeting at some point?

Is anyone planning on attending CETIS13? Pat and I will be there, and wondered if there was an opportunity for a xerte huddle?
