Suggestions

Nice. Thank you. Some suggestions:

  • Could use columns/table
  • Need support for multi-select listboxes (Simple Forms limitation?)
  • True/false select lists should be checkboxes
  • linksto (+!) should automatically pull in all articles (or give an option to pull them in, only for various categories, etc)
  • addeditdate and addpagetoucheddate should be a radio button pair to prevent this error: "%DPL-1.2.8-ERROR: You cannot add more than one type of date at a time!" Radio button pairs should be used for other either-or parameter combinations, if any.
