Thanks for sharing, you should update the header with the new version:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

/**

*

* @package Icy Phoenix

* @version $Id$

* @copyright (c) 2008 Icy Phoenix

* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License

*

*/

But it is a minor issue and doesn't affect at all the page.

Dang! I missed that!

Normally I would have added a .zip with a "blank" php and tpl, but decided that the user could quite as easily download the script or paste it into an editor.

BTW, Lopalong, you have another topic on this page for the same thing.

If you want me to add a note linking to this thread, just wish it

Or if you want to do it by yourself....

The old DOC is CUSTOMIZATION - Create New Pages And Add Custom Vars. IP V1.2.0.27* and that "Doc" could now be removed, as I split the v1.3 stuff out of it to create this topic.
