CUSTOM MODULES
- You can create a Custom Module as before and it will be labeled 'default'.
- You can also create a Custom Module with Module Options (something in the URL that differentiates this module page from the other pages of the same module).
Example 1 (Downloads): To create a Custom Module for the Downloads in Category 1, the Module Options would be cid=1. You can get this info by viewing the URL of the page that you want to create a Custom Module for.
Example 2 (News): To create a Custom Module when listing all articles in a specific topic, such as when you go to modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index&catid=&topic=2, you would use topic=2 as your Module Options.
Example 3 (legal): For the Terms of Use, the Module options could be file=index and for the Privacy Policy the Module Options could be file=privacy.
You can also combine the options to make it even more unique and flexible, for example file=somefile&option=10. Whatever you want to use from the URL to customize that page.
NEW COMMAND STRUCTURE (only for News at this time)
All of the previous commands will still work, but there is a new nomenclature for all commands.
text:command will display text of that command (i.e. text:topicimage displays the filename someimage.gif for that topic). You use this as text and can surround it with any formatting tags, styles, etc.
html:command will display preformatted HTML (i.e. html:searchtopic displays the Anchor and Image tags to display that image and when clicked, displays that topic page  )
url:command will display the text of the URL for that command (i.e. url:searchtopic displays the text of the URL only, modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index&catid=&topic=1). You can use this in your own Anchor tags.
Any Module specific commands will be prefixed with the module name (i.e. News commands are news:text:command, news:html:command and news:url:command.
