News Parser Features can be merge into old.

Hi guys,

I think I’ve found a way to get the new parser features to work with the old. You can still use your old tags along with the new tags without the need for a new parser. This would allow users to gradually move over to the newer tags.

I think it might also be possible to do away with <framesets> and use <iframes> to offer more semi-fliud deign for 0.9.2. Most persons will never know the difference.

What do you think?

Removing the framesets for the manager? That’d be awesome. What is it exactly that requires the frames, anyway?

Actually...I think we can do it without frames or iframes. About the only area that would require 100% height would be the main area where you view content, config forms, code, and such. The document tree could be done a bit differently....probably in the form of a collapsable floating div. More or less you just click on what you need and collapse it out of the way when you don’t need it. The rest would be a piece of cake. In fact, I’ll play with a possible layout and show you what I mean. Heh heh! Now comes the fun part!!

True, would be great if you can get it done.

The only thing I don’t like about non-framed layouts is that the tree and menu will be loaded with every page load. We could use Ajax to load the pages but that also something to think about. With Ajax there are also pros and cons

I do see value in loading the tree in an iframe, I guess... loading that every time would be a pain!
