Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] PHP-GW as backend to public site?

[Patrick J. Walsh (mr_e)]

        Docs?  My, you don't ask for much, do you? :)

	There are extensive docs on the design of SiteMgr, but it doesn't include 
details for writing blocks.  However, they aren't difficult.  The calendar 
block is a tough example since I did some black magic to make the calendar 
calls and reformat the html that was returned before outputting the block.

	Basically, a block is just a piece of PHP code that is included at an 
appropriate time.  All it needs to do is create a $content variable. 
That's it.  Whatever is in the $content variable becomes the content of the 
block.  So anything you can do with PHP or PHPGW you can do in a block.

	There are a number of blocks that can be downloaded from postnuke.org and 
phpnuke.org.  Those that don't make database calls will probably work.

	Stay tuned for a section of the phpgroupware.org web site with SiteMgr 
information, downloads, etc.  Probably get that going this weekend.
