I think the Nadmin image upload functionality is meant as a user-friendly management tool for images that change frequently, eg because linked to content.

What I sometimes do with recurring chunks of html where you only want to tweak some tiny bits or properties every time you use it, is putting them into a php class and storing that in a snippet. For every bit that can change, you create a property that is initialised on the default value. Take for example some navigation elements on http://wwwdev.itforum.be I would like to use further on in the site: I put in the style something like mgd_include_snippet("classes/vfb_framelet"); $nav_framelet = new vfb_framelet(); ?> <[body-attrs]> <? $nav_framelet->display(); Possible content of that element on a page could be: $nav_framelet->framelet_align = "default"; Then you only have one element to override in the pages, but still you do not have to copy every time the chunk as found in the snippet "classes/vfb_framelet" : class vfb_framelet { var $framelet_align = "right"; var $framelet_header = "Framelet Title"; var $framelet_body = "line<br>line<br>line<br>"; var $framelet_width = "120"; function display () { ?> <table width="<? echo $this->framelet_width;?>" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align = "<? echo $this->framelet_align;?>"> <tr bgcolor="#004080"> <td width="1"></td> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td class="navhead" bgcolor="#004080" valign="top"> <? echo $this->framelet_header;?> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#004080" width="1"></td> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ><? echo $this->framelet_body;?></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td bgcolor="#004080" width="1"></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#004080"> <td height="1"></td> <td height="1"></td> <td height="1"></td> </tr> </table> <? } } By the way: even nicer would be if you could let these "thingies to change" depend on the displayed article, because then you could just use one style, reading the properties from article parameters you can set via nadmin? pascal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
