I am just trying to think outside the box on this one a bit.
You are correct that you can add a logon link and a register link, and a profile link to the skin as a skin object, but you have to take those functionalities as they come. IE, if you want a logon link, you also get a logoff link, same goes for register and profile.
What happens when you want to add an image next to the logon link? or use an image as the logon link? See where I am going with this? I don't believe that functionality is built into the skin object. Although I could be wrong.
Another thing you need to consider is that an option for the links component is to have it as a dropdown list. From what I can tell the skin objects cannot add items to the dropdown list.
As far as editing the core framework, I have duplicated code thus far to make this happen until I can get this stuff built into the core framework. That makes this code portable. Albiet I have to make mods as they do to the areas of the core that get changed.
I have all of the items I have described finished. They are being tested as I am writing this note. I don't anticipate many fixes needing to be made at this point as there has been testing going on and we are winding down.
Thanks,
Keith
