I got an idea of a possibility of secure user-editable template for WPMU. Now I think it is not difficult to make templates editable for each user without php template tags.
What I mean is that, to layout their own blog it will be enough if users can edit css files. And if you change wp-includes/links.php a little, users can select the contents of sidebar.
And here are examples which I thought:
*template files*
headers.php will contain something like following line:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php get_settings('fileupload_url'); ?>/files/css/custom.css" type="text/css" />
Users will upload custom stylesheet on their own file-uploading folder.
And sidebar.php will call only links, not anything else.
*/wp-includes/links.php*
function get_links will be changed like following:
-Change sql command on line 194 to get also content of link_description collumn.
-Add something like following codes in the beginning of foreach construction after line 206:
/*calendar*/
if($row->link_description=="ext:calendar"){
$output .= $before.get_calendar().$after;
}
/*archives*/
else if($row->link_description=="ext:archives"){
$output .= $before.wp_get_archives('type=monthly').$after;
}
/*custom fields*/
else if($row->link_description=="ext:custom_field"){
$l_note = $row->link_notes;
$l_note = str_replace("<","<",$l_note);
$l_note = str_replace(">",">",$l_note);
$l_note = str_replace("\\\"","\"",$l_note);
$l_note = str_replace("\\'","'",$l_note);
$output .= $l_note;
}
With these changes, users can modify sidebar contents with writing something especially in "short description" field in link-manager.php.
My English is not good att all so I just hope that someone understands what I want to say. And I hope also that there would be someone who feels this idea sounds nice:)
