PHP Applications Tools Channel

Wednesday, April 6. 2005

As noted on the PAT blog, they are now using the PEAR_Server (soon to be Chiara_PEAR_Server) and Crtx_PEAR_Channel_Frontend.

You can see the Frontend in action here, and I just wanted to say that this is exactly what I had hoped would happen. Because of the way I wrote Crtx_PEAR_Channel_Frontend, they were able to completely customize the look of the frontend to match their site. Great job guys!

In addition to the design changes they made, they could also do the following:

Change the Welcome Message to a custom one (just replace the call to the function with plain text
Create a custom menu instead of using the getMenu() method (or whatever its called, its at home I'm at work!)
Hide the Latest Releases (or move it elsewhere)

Basically, I wrote everything seperately to make it possible for anybody to show any data available through it from anywhere. I just also included a convenient "one file" solution if you can't be bothered.
