Playing with early version of Nucleus CMS v3.60

I've just updated this site to what will soon be the first release candidate of the next Nucleus CMS version (3.60). I'll have a full list of the new features, but it basically deals with the following:

  • functionality to permit a working version of NP_EventBlog that can show future events (posts) in an orderly fashion. Will also coincide with new versions of NP_EventBlog and NP_Calendar. I've been using this functionality for 9 months or so at http://otwimprov.com to handle Upcoming Events
  • add if-else-elseif-ifnot-elseifnot-endif variables into item and comment templates
  • add global variables to processing of items and comments to allow current item or comment to be easily identified by php code included with phpinclude from the templates. $currentitemid, $currentcomentid, and $currentcommentarray
  • various bug fixes to skinvars like nextlink, prevlink, categorylist, member, commentform
  • some fine tuning of db schema and enhanced protection for included files

So really nothing earth-shattering, but some cool behind-the-scenes stuff that will allow for more customization through variables in skins/templates and through plugins.
