In this beta download there will be a new module called backend. This module will replace all backend scripts in the root directory. So that not only articles can be presented as RSS/RDF feed, but also bookcorner, yellow pages , howtos, weblogs, downloads, gallery, weblinks, message board, reviews, and sections.


Of course, webmasters can determine from withing the modules configuration which newsfeeds are to be presented by the module.

Then, the module can display the feed in these formats:

- RDS/RDF 0.91
- RDS/RDF 1.0
- RDS/RDF 2.0 Draft
- HTML


You can call to the actual backend from four different links:

1. OPN_URL/system/backend/backend.php?version=100&limit=10&module=system/article

parameter version contains RSS/RDF version (optional)

parameter limit contains the number of returned data (optional)

parmater module contains the modul from which the feed shall originate (compulsory)



2. OPN_URL/system/backend/backend.php?limit=10&module=system/article

3. OPN_URL/system/backend/backend.php?version=100&module=system/article

4. OPN_URL/system/backend/backend.php?module=system/article



As you will have noticed, parameter version and limit can be omitted. If one of those is not found, the standard setting will automatically be activated.

While I was surfing various communities, I came up with something to enhance the interaction on a page considerably: evaluating latest movies. As the reviews-module best fits this purpose, I have quickly adapted it.

Now there are five dropdown menus to rate a movie with regard to suspense, action, erotic, emotion, and fun.

Alex assisted in eliminating a few bugs so that this module will be part of the following Beta-Download. Thanks to Heinz we already have the backend-functions contained, great job!
