Re: CUSTOMIZATION - Create New Pages And Add Custom Vars. IP V1.3*

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

Code: [Download] [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.

Inactive User	Re: CUSTOMIZATION - Create New Pages And Add Custom Vars. IP V1.3* 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.
