Changes in Version 0.950

For the first time in many upgrades, there are several changes that will affect the way that sites operate.

First, page formatting has changed. Any paragraph (i.e. a section of text followed by a blank line), will be enclosed in a <p> tag, whereas earlier versions used two <br /> tags. Other changes include that no process should take place within areas HTML that contain a table or form (these blocks must be properly closed for formatting to continue). BBCode tags and automatic links will still be processed inside these block structures.
Most pages should look much as they did before, except that paragraph may have extra spacing. HTML will be rendered more as it would in the HTML editor (i.e. no more extraneous <br /> tags added).

Second, the menu.php script is now 'universal', with the ability to configure within the template for horizonal and/or vertical menu/submenu. If a custom template with a name other than DeafultTemplate.php  and menu other than DefaultMenu.php are being used, then no effect will be noticable. more details

Since this version now places most section text within <p> tags, the final <br /> tag is no longer needed. Remove this by entering the 'setup' from the edit screen, and change the 'section postfix' entry with 'edit configuration'.

Several smaller changes have been made to the install routines. More error messages now ahve associated help screens with further details. The template files (menu & style sheet) are now placed in a /template folder for better organization.

Some older versions of the menu.php script had the following lines:
  if ($item == $curpath[$level]) {
     echo "<a href=\"$index_name/$item\" name=\"link$item\"
       class=\"menuSel\">".correct($item)."</a>\n$separator\n";
     $query_str = "SELECT * FROM " . _contents_table .
       " WHERE (`dir` BETWEEN '$cur_dir' AND '$dir_max')
       AND ('$today' BETWEEN `date` AND `expire`)
       AND (`menu_order` >= 0) ORDER BY `menu_order`,`dir`";

The "$curpath[$level]" should be changed to read "$curpath[1]" (numeral: '1') and "'$today' BETWEEN..." changed to "'$now' BETWEEN..."
