 105  <a name="future"></a>
 106  <a name="allowpastposting"></a>
 107  <h1>Add Later/Earlier</h1>
 108  <h2>Add Later</h2>
 109  <p>The 'Add Later' option on add-item forms allows you to mark an item to become visible only at the exact time you've specified. Before that time has come, the item will not be viewable anywhere in the public part of your site.</p>
 110  <p>This date <strong>must</strong> be in the future, unless the 'Allow posting to the past' option is enabled for the blog to which you want to add the item.</p>
 111  <h2>Allow posting to the past</h2>
 112  <p>When enabled, you'll be allowed to specify the date on which an item should be added, and to edit the timestamp of already existing items.</p>
 113  </div>
 114  
 115  <div class="page"><a name="changedate"></a>
 116  <h1>Change post date/time</h1>
 117  <p>
 118  The 'Update Timestamp' option allows you to change the posting date and/or time of an item. If you changed the content of an item, this is a way bring the story back to the top of your front page.</p>
 119  <p>But, the unique id connected to the item will not change, so your visitors can still find out that the item was originally posted later than items with a lower id.</p>
 120  </div>
 121  
 122  
 123  <div class="page"><a name="autosave"></a>
 124  <h1>Autosave</h1>
 125  <p>The Autosave function saves an item as a <a href="#draft">draft</a> after 10 minutes editing. It should avoid that unsaved changes get lost. It is usefull for users that work for a long time on an item and often forget to save their work.</p>
 126  <p>If you want to invoke Autosave before the 10 minutes are past, you can press the '<strong>Auto save now</strong>' button at the end of the form.</p>
 127  <p>The Autosave function can be enabled and disabled in the member options.</p>
 128  </div>
 129  
 130  
 131  <div class="page"><a name="draft"></a>
 132  <h1>Drafts</h1>
 133  <p>
 134  Draft items are not yet viewable in the public blog. They might come in handy when you are working on a story, and something comes in between. Your draft items will be listed on the main page, so you can continue your work when you have the time to do so.</p>
 135  <p>When editing drafts, choose the '<strong>Add now</strong>' radiobutton and hit the 'Edit item' button to make them visible.
 136  </p>
 137  </div>
 138  
 139  <div class="page"><a name="extended"></a>
 140  <h1>Extended part</h1>
 141  <p>
 142  Items have an optional extended part that you can use for continued stories. e.g. when a story is too long to put on the main page of your blog, you can write an introduction in the body part and the rest in the extended part. When viewing your main blog page, you will then see 'read more' links (as defined by the templates).
 143  </p>
 144  <p>
 145  If you want to write an introduction only for <em>some</em> of your items, you could use the <a href="#templatevar-smartbody">smartbody</a> template variable to make a selection out of the body text and the extended text.
 146  </p>
 147  </div>
 148  
 149  <div class="page"><a name="shortblogname"></a>
 150  <h1>Short Blog Name</h1>
 151  <p>
 152  The short blog name is used mainly in the admin area to indicate which items are associated with which blog.
 153  </p>
 154  <p>
 155  It can also be used in alternative index files, to make a second weblog available:
 156  </p>
 157  <pre>
 158  &lt;?
 159      include ('./config.php');
 160      selectBlog('myshortblogname');
 161      selector();
 162  ?&gt;
 163  </pre>
 164  </div>
 165  
 166  <div class="page"><a name="blogdefaultskin"></a>
 167  <h1>Default Skin</h1>
 168  <p>
 169  The default skin selected in the blog settings is the skin that should be used when the blog is displayed, and there is no other skin selected (through arguments in the URL)
 170  </p>
 171  </div>
 172  
 173  
 174  <div class="page"><a name="blognotify"></a>
 175  <h1>Notify Address</h1>
 176  <p>
 177  This option contains one or multiple e-mail addresses to which notification e-mails should be sent when new comments are added. Leave empty if you don't want notification. The given e-mail addresses must, of course, be valid.
 178  </p>
 179  <p>
 180  If you're using multiple addresses, you should use a semicolon (<strong>;</strong>) as a separator.
 181  </p>
 182  <div class="note">
 183  <b>Note:</b> As the maximum length of the settings fields is 128 characters, there's only a limited amount of e-mail addresses you can list.
 184  </div>
 185  <div class="note">
 186  <b>Note:</b> When you set up your own e-mail address as notification address, you won't get notified of the items/comments that you wrote yourself. Assuming that you know what you wrote, that shouldn't be a problem.
 187  </div>
 188  </div>
 189  
 190  <div class="page"><a name="blogmaxcomments"></a>
 191  <h1>Max Amount of Comments</h1>
 192  <p>
 193  This is the maximum number of comments that will be shown on the <em>main page</em>. <strong>This is NOT a restriction on the total number of comments that can be made</strong>. On the detail pages, all comments will be shown, even if there are more than the maximum amount chosen.
 194  </p>
 195  <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong>
 196  Inside templates, this variable can be overridden by an optional parameter of the <a href="#templatevar-comments">comments</a> templatevar.
 197  </p>
 198  </div>
 199  
 200  <div class="page"><a name="blogtimeoffset"></a>
 201  <h1>Time Offset</h1>
 202  <p>
 203  If the time on your server is not equal to the time where you live, you might want to add an offset to the server time in order to get the correct time. Use negative values to subtract (negation sign). The current server time is listed as a reference.
 204  </p>
 205  <h2>Example</h2>
 206  <p>If your local time is 20:35 and the server time is listed as 14:35, you'll need to set the time offset equal to 6 in order to get your blog time to 20:35
 207  </p>
 208  <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Fractional offsets can be used as well, for people living in half time zones. e.g. an offset of <strong>1.5</strong> equals an offset of 1 hour and 30 minutes.</p>
 209  </div>
 210  
 211  <div class="page"><a name="blogupdatefile"></a>
 212  <h1>Update File</h1>
 213  <p>
 214  Nucleus can edit a file for you whenever a new item is added to the blog. The contents of that file will be a timestamp of the last change. The use of such a file could be useful for services which check a file on your server once in a while to see if there were updates, and generate 'updated weblogs' from that. Pointing them to your main blog could cause false update warnings to be sent out when visitors add comments or when you change something to the skins or templates.
 215  </p>
 216  <p>
 217  When you don't need an update file, just leave the field empty.
 218  </p>
 219  <p>
 220  Please note that the location of the update file is relative to the admin-area, so you might want to use an absolute path (something like <tt>/path/to/your/website/update.txt</tt>). Also make sure the update file already exists and is writable (<a href="tips.html#filepermissions" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" class="out" title="quick guide on changing file permissions">chmod it to 666</a> if you want to be sure).
 221  </p>
 222  </div>
 223  
 224  <div class="page"><a name="teamadmin"></a>
 225  <h1>Blog Admin</h1>
 226  <p>
 227  Blog administrators have the following extra rights:
 228  </p>
 229  
 230  <ul>
 231      <li>They can manage the team</li>
 232      <li>They can edit blog settings</li>
 233      <li>They can edit/delete all items by all authors (from the blog of which they are admin)</li>
 234      <li>They can delete the blog</li>
 235  </ul>
 236  
 237  <p>
 238  A blog can have multiple admins, but there must be at least one admin at all times.
 239  </p>
 240  </div>
 241  
 242  
 243  <div class="page"><a name="superadmin"></a>
 244  <h1>Administrator Privileges</h1>
 245  
 246  <p>
 247  A so called <em>super-admin</em> has <strong>full access</strong> to all functions and all weblogs, even if she is not on the blog team.
 248  </p>
 249  
 250  <p>
 251  On top of that: a super-admin has the right to create new weblogs, to change general settings, to change templates, to change skins and to manage the members (creation/ manipulation/ deletion of members).
 252  </p>
 253  
 254  <p>
 255  Usually, there will be only one super-admin, the site administrator.
 256  </p>
 257  
 258  </div>
 259  
 260  <div class="page"><a name="canlogin"></a>
 261  <h1>Can Login?</h1>
 262  <p>
 263  As a <a href="#superadmin" title="Administrator Privileges">superadmin</a>, you can disallow individual members to login to the admin area.
 264  </p>
 265  </div>
 266  
 267  <div class="page"><a name="defaultblog"></a>
 268  <h1>Default Blog</h1>
 269  <p>
 270  This is the blog that will be used when no other blog has been specified in the request.
 271  </p>
 272  </div>
 273  
 274  <div class="page"><a name="baseskin"></a>
 275  <h1>Base Skin</h1>
 276  
 277  <p>The option tells Nucleus which skin to fall back to when no such decision can be automatically made. This happens when skin parts are empty, when no blog or skin is implicitly/explicitly selected.</p>
 278  <p>Most users don't need to worry about this setting.</p>
 279  </div>
 280  
 281  <div class="page"><a name="cookies"></a>
 282  <h1>Cookies</h1>
 283  
 284  <h2>Cookie Lifetime</h2>
 285  <p>
 286  When a member logs in, a cookie is stored in his browser, so she doesn't need to log in again when she comes back the next day. The lifetime of this cookie decided when it will become invalid:</p>
 287  <ul>
 288      <li><strong>Session cookies</strong> get deleted when you exit the browser</li>
 289      <li>Cookies with a lifetime of <strong>one month</strong> will stay on the computer until you don't use/visit the site for a month. Using this option, you'll never have to login again (unless you've logged out yourself, or logged in from another computer)</li>
 290  </ul>
 291  
 292  <h2>Cookie Path &amp; Cookie Domain</h2>
 293  <p>
 294  These settings are advanced settings. Normally, you shouldn't change them at all. In that case, cookie path is a simple slash ('/') and cookie domain is empty.
 295  </p>
 296  
 297  <h2>Secure Cookies</h2>
 298  <p>
 299  Normally, this should be set to 'no'. You should only set it to 'yes' when you have a HTTPS url and want cookies only to be sent over such a https connection.
 300  </p>
 301  
 302  <h2>'Last Visit' Cookie</h2>
 303  <p>
 304  You can setup Nucleus to store a cookie in which the time of the visitors last visit is stored. This can be used to put indications next to <a href="#templatenew">new items</a>
 305  </p>
 306  
 307  </div>
 308  
 309  
 310  <div class="page"><a name="language"></a>
 311  <h1>Language</h1>
 312  <p>
 313  You can choose a language to be used when nucleus creates content for you. The content generated by Nucleus includes the admin-area, the error messages, forms in skins, ...
 314  </p>
 315  
 316  <p>
 317  There are two places where a language can be chosen: the global site settings include a language option.
 318  Next to that, logged in members can override this setting if they want to.
 319  </p>
 320  
 321  <p>
 322  When both of these settings are invalid, 'english' is used as the default language.
 323  </p>
 324  
 325  <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Extra language files can be downloaded from the <a href="http://www.nucleuscms.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" class="out" title="Nucleus CMS Website">Nucleus Website</a>. (opens a new window)</p>
 326  
 327  </div>
 328  
 329  <div class="page"><a name="allowaccountcreation"></a>
 330  <h1>Account Creation</h1>
 331  <p>
 332  You can either allow or disallow your visitors to create their own 'member' account. They won't be allowed to add items to a blog (unless the admin adds them to a team), but they can login to the administration area and change their settings, and even delete or modify the comments they made.
 333  </p>
 334  </div>
 335  
 336  <div class="page"><a name="allownewmemberlogin"></a>
 337  <h1>New Member: can login ?</h1>
 338  <p>
 339  When you allow <a href="#allowaccountcreation">creation of member accounts</a> by your visitors, this setting defines whether or not accounts created in that way will have the ability to <a href="#canlogin">login to the administration area</a>.
 340  </p>
 341  </div>
 342  
 343  
 344  <div class="page"><a name="messageservice"></a>
 345  <h1>Message Service</h1>
 346  
 347  <p>
 348  For the privacy of your members, you can hide all e-mail addresses and allow members to send an e-mail message to each other through the script. The message that will be sent out will however contain the e-mail addresses of both users, so they can then do continued communication through regular e-mail. This service can be disabled.
 349  </p>
 350  
 351  <h2>Non-members</h2>
 352  <p>
 353  By default, non members cannot use the message service (because there's no way to check the validity of the e-mail address they enter). You can relax this restriction by allowing non-members to use the message service too. When submitting a message, they will be asked to enter their e-mail address, which will show up in the <tt>From:</tt> headers of the e-mail you receive.
 354  </p>
 355  
 356  </div>
 357  
 358  <div class="page"><a name="disablesite"></a>
 359  <h1>Disable Site</h1>
 360  <p>
 361  It's possible to disable your entire Nucleus site. You might want to do this when you are doing some configuration, or when something went horribly wrong :-)
 362  </p>
 363  <p>
 364  The URL that needs to be configured is an URL to which the visitor will be redirected.
 365  </p>
 366  <p>
 367  Exceptions: the <strong>admin-area</strong> is still available, and <strong><a href="#superadmin">super-admins</a></strong> can still see the entire site. (don't forget to re-enable your site afterwards ;-))
 368  </p>
 369  </div>
 370  
 371  
 372  <div class="page"><a name="urlmode"></a>
 373  <h1>URL Mode</h1>
 374  <p>Using this option, you can switch between URL styles:</p>
 375  <ul>
 376      <li><strong>Normal</strong>: URLs looking like <code>http://host/index.php?itemid=1234</code></li>
 377      <li><strong>Fancy</strong>: URLs looking like <code>http://host/item/1234</code></li>
 378  </ul>
 379  <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> In order to get the 'Fancy URL' mode working, some extra actions are required. They're described in the <a href="tips.html" class="out" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">Tips &amp; Suggestions</a> (opens in new window)</p>
 380  
 381  </div>
 382  
 383  <div class="page"><a name="defaultlistsize"></a>
 384  <h1>Default List Size</h1>
 385  <p>(3.40) Using this option, you can set the default size of lists in the Admin Area. Value should be an integer. 10 is a good default for most users.</p>
 386  </div>
 387  
 388  <div class="page"><a name="debugvars"></a>
 389  <h1>Debug Vars</h1>
 390  <p>(3.40) Using this option, you can set whether unresolved Vars (SkinVars, TemplateVars, ItemVars) are shown on the blog. Default is <code>No</code>.</p>
 391  </div>
 392  
 393  <div class="page"><a name="templateitems"></a>
 394  <h1>Templates: Items</h1>
 395  <p>
 396  When items are shown, the following setup is repeated for each item:
 397  </p>
 398  
 399  <pre>
 400  item header
 401  item body
 402  item footer
 403  </pre>
 404  
 405  <p>These three blocks all refer to a template-part, which define what the result looks like.</p>
 406  
 407  <h2>Variables</h2>
 408  
 409  <p>Within these template, a series of so called <a href="#templatevars-overview" title="Find out which variables are available">template variables can be used</a> to insert item data.</p>
 410  
 411  <h2>Example</h2>
 412  <p><a href="#templateitemsexample">An example</a></p>
 413  
 414  </div>
 415  
 416  <div class="page"><a name="templateitemsexample"></a>
 417  <h1>Templates: Items</h1>
 418  <p>
 419  An example for the <b>item body</b> template:

 421  
 422  <pre>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;%title%&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
 423  
 424  &lt;p&gt;&lt;%body%&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 425  
 426  &lt;div class="metadata"&gt;

 724  This is actually not a template-part, it's a setting. Setting it allows the date and time preferences when to be localized. Names of months and days will be in the desired language, etc.
 725  </p>
 726  
 727  <p>
 728  The possible values depend according to which machine Nucleus is running on. Some possible values are

 748  <h1>Templates: Date and Time formats</h1>
 749  <p>
 750  These are used to format dates and times into the <code>&lt;%date%&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;%time%&gt;</code> vars (see <a href="#templatevars-overview">template vars</a>). The formatting is done according to the <a href="#templatelocale">locale</a>

 762  <p>
 763  The date header and date footer can contain date and time vars. <a href="#strftime">More info on the available vars</a>. If you want to get started quickly, use "%x" to format the date. The language which is used to format the date, is determined by the <a href="#templatelocale">locale-setting</a> in the template.</p>
 764  
 765  <p>
 766  In the date header, the template variable &lt;%%daylink%%&gt; is allowed to insert a link to the archive for that day. <strong>Note the double '%'! It's necessary to avoid %d to be expanded as the current day of the month.</strong> Also, if you just want to add a '%' character somewhere, you should also put it twice ('%%') or it will be gone on your website.
 767  </p>
 768  
 769  <p>
 770  Sample for date header:
 771  </p>
 772  
 773  <pre>
 774  &lt;div class="day"&gt;
 775  &lt;h1&gt;%d %B&lt;/h1&gt;

 943  <h1>Templates: Member Extra</h1>
 944  <p>
 945  This is a template you can use to add an extra indication that a comment-author is a member. It ends up in the <code>&lt;%authtext%&gt;</code> variable for use in the <a href="#templatecommentbody">comment body</a>
 946  </p>
 947  
 948  <p>Inside this template-part, some <a href="#templatevars-comments" title="Overview of comments-related template variables">comments-related variables</a> are available.</p>
 949  
 950  </div>
 951  
 952  <div class="page"><a name="templatecommentcontinued"></a>
 953  <h1>Templates: Comments Read More</h1>
 954  <p>
 955  This is the format of the link that will be added at the end of <code>&lt;%short%&gt;</code>, which is a variable for use in the <a href="#templatecommentbody">comment body</a>
 956  </p>
 957  
 958  <p>Inside this template-part, some <a href="#templatevars-comments" title="Overview of comments-related template variables">comments-related variables</a> are available (except for the <code>&lt;%short%&gt;</code> variable).</p>
 959  
 960  <p>Example:</p>
 961  
 962  <pre>
 963   &lt;a href="&lt;%itemlink%&gt;"&gt;[more]&lt;/a&gt;
 964  </pre>
 965  
 966  </div>
 967  
 968  <div class="page"><a name="templatecommentwords"></a>
 969  <h1>Templates: commentword</h1>
 970  <p>
 971  Most likely, you'll rather want to write "1 comment" than "1 comment(s)". The "One comment" and "Many comments" template parts can be used for this purpose. They will be used to fill the <code>&lt;%commentword%&gt;</code> variable that you can use elsewhere.
 972  </p>
 973  
 974  <p>
 975  If there is only 1 comment, <code>&lt;%commentword%&gt;</code> will be equal to the contents of the "one comment" part. If there are many comments (more than one), <code>&lt;%commentword%&gt;</code> will be equal to the contents of the "two (or more) comments" part.
 976  </p>
 977  
 978  <p>
 979  Typical values are "comment" and "comments". <strong>No special variables can be used here</strong>.

1398  Nucleus allows you to upload media files (images, video, sound, ...) to your website
1399  </p>
1400  <p>
1401  Some settings are needed to do this:
1402  </p>
1403  <ul>
1404      <li><strong>Media dir</strong>: location on the server where the media files will be saved (local filesystem)</li>
1405      <li><strong>Media URL</strong>: location of the media files</li>
1406      <li><strong>Allow upload</strong>: It's possible to disable file upload</li>
1407      <li><strong>Allowed filetypes for upload</strong>: a bunch of extensions uploaded files can have (seperated by commas, case insensitive)</li>
1408      <li><strong>Max. upload file size</strong>: Puts a limit on the size of uploaded files</li>
1409      <li><strong>Prefix Media Files</strong>: When this option is turned on, uploaded file will be prefixed with the current date. Uploading a file named 'bunny.jpg' on April 8, 2003 will then result in a file named 20030408-bunny.jpg. The reason why you might want to do this, is when you're uploading tons of files, and don't want problems with duplicate names.</li>
1410  </ul>
1411  
1412  <p>
1413  Each member has his own private collection of media files. Next to that, subdirectories that are under the media dir are seen as global collections (shared between members).
1414  </p>
1415  
1416  <p>Uploading is only possible when a member is on the team of at least one of the blogs, to prevent abuse.</p>
1417  </div>
1418  
1419  
1420  <div class="page"><a name="protectmemnames"></a>
1421  <h1>Protect Member Names</h1>
1422  <p>When this option is enabled, non-logged in members cannot add comments using the same name as registered members. The reason to do this would be to avoid guest impersonating members.</p>
1423  </div>
1424  
1425  
1426  <div class="page"><a name="pluginurl"></a>
1427  <h1>Plugin URL</h1>
1428  <p>This setting is the base URL for plugin admin areas. Usually it will look like the following</p>
1429  <pre>http://hostname.com/nucleus/plugins/</pre>
1430  </div>
1431  
1432  <div class="page"><a name="skinsurl"></a>
1433  <h1>Skins URL</h1>
1434  <p>This setting is the base URL for the Nucleus skins directory. Usually it will look like the following</p>

1436  </div>
1437  
1438  <div class="page"><a name="actionurl"></a>
1439  <h1>Action URL</h1>

1447  <h1>Adding items</h1>
1448  <p>When adding items to a weblog, there are four kinds of template variables that you can use in the body text, title or extended part:</p>
1449  <ul>
1450      <li><a href="#templatevar-popup">&lt;%popup(...)%&gt;</a> to insert a popup image</li>
1451      <li><a href="#templatevar-popup">&lt;%image(...)%&gt;</a> to insert an inline image</li>
1452      <li><a href="#templatevar-popup">&lt;%media(...)%&gt;</a> to insert a media object</li>
1453  </ul>
1454  <p>Usually, these tags are inserted by the 'insert media' button in the JavaScript toolbar</p>
1455

3734  
3735  <p>Template variables largely work in exact the same way as skin variables, with the only difference that they are being used inside templates. The variables are called using <code>&lt;%<i>varname</i>%&gt;</code>, and include some text depending on the variable function. Some variables also have extra optional parameters.</p>
3736  
3737  <h2>Available variables</h2>
3738  
3739  <p>
3740  These template variables be used in the following template-parts: <tt>item header, item body, item footer, date header, date footer, morelink, editlink</tt> (The variables <tt>image</tt>, <tt>popup</tt> and <tt>media</tt> can also be used inside weblog items.)

3746  </ul>
3747  
3748  <p>Comments-related template-parts (<tt>comments header, comments body, comments footer, one comment, two comments, comments read more, no comments, too much comments</tt>) have a different set of available variables:</p>

4488  <p>
4489  To open a popup window for the 'edit link' window, you'll need to add some javascript code to your link. To avoid having to enter this code in the 'edit link'-template, you can insert it using the editpopupcode-templatevar.

4501  <p>
4502  Nucleus allows you to install custom plugins, adding extra functionality. Plugins can do different things:
4503  </p>
4504  <ol>
4505      <li>Act as a skin variable</li>
4506      <li>Act as a template variable</li>
4507      <li>Hook into events generated by Nucleus. The 'move up' and 'move down' links in 'manage plugins' screen can be used to define the order in which plugins will be called when such an event occurs. The first plugin in the list will be called first, the last one will be called last.</li>
4508      <li>Act as actors when called through <tt>action.php</tt></li>
4509  </ol>
4510  <p>
4511  Note that the responsibility for plugins is entirely with the plugin author. He should make sure that everything works fine.
4512  </p>
4513  <a name="getplugins"></a>
4514  <p>
4515  There are two main repositories where you can find plugins for Nucleus CMS:
4516  </p>
4517  <ul>
4518      <li><a href="http://wiki.nucleuscms.org/plugin" title="Plugin Wiki">English</a></li>
4519      <li><a href="http://japan.nucleuscms.org/wiki/plugins" title="Japanese Plugin Wiki">Japanese</a></li>
4520  </ul>
4521  <p>
4522  Neither or these repositories is entirely complete. You will find some plugins in one, but not in the other, and vice versa. 
4523  Do not be scared off of one or the other on account of language, as there are a few free translation services on the Internet that 
4524  will help you get by.
4525  </p>
4526  Another resource that will help you while working with plugins is the search function at the 
4527  <a href="http://forum.nucleuscms.org/" title="Support Forum">support forum</a>. You will even find some 
4528  smaller plugins on the forum that never made it to the wiki.

4538  
4539  <p>The available parser options are described below.</p>
4540  
4541  <table>
4542   <caption>Parser properties</caption>
4543   <tr>
4544       <th>Option Name</th>
4545      <th>Values</th>
4546   </tr><tr>
4547       <td>IncludeMode</td>
4548      <td>
4549          <ul>
4550              <li><strong>normal</strong>: normal behaviour; included files are taken relative to the directory/url of the .php file generating the page.</li>
4551              <li><strong>skindir</strong>: included files are taken relative to the skindir/skinurl</li>
4552          </ul>
4553          <p>This property affects the following skinvars: <a href="#skinvar-include">include</a>, <a href="#skinvar-phpinclude">phpinclude</a>, <a href="#skinvar-parsedinclude">parsedinclude</a>, <a href="#skinvar-nucleusbutton">nucleusbutton</a></p>
4554      </td>
4555   </tr><tr>
4556       <td>IncludePrefix</td>
4557       <td>
4558          <p>This property is a prefix that get's added in front of each filename you want to include. For example, if the prefix is <tt>base/</tt> and you want to include <tt>somefile.txt</tt>, you'll end up including <tt>base/somefile.txt</tt></p>
4559          <p>This property is intended to be used in conjunction with the IncludeMode property. This way, a skin imported to <tt><em>skindir/</em>somename/</tt> can set <tt>IncludeMode</tt> to <tt>skindir</tt> and <tt>IncludePrefix</tt> to <tt>somename/</tt></p>
4560          <p>This property affects the following skinvars: <a href="#skinvar-include">include</a>, <a href="#skinvar-phpinclude">phpinclude</a>, <a href="#skinvar-parsedinclude">parsedinclude</a>, <a href="#skinvar-nucleusbutton">nucleusbutton</a></p>
4561      </td>
4562    </tr>
4563  </table>
4564  
4565  <p>The <tt>IncludePrefix</tt> and <tt>IncludeMode</tt> properties can be set globally for a skin in the general settings of a skin. Also note that from the moment a property is set, it applies to all parsed data, thus also for templates.</p>
