Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: webite bug?

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Dave Pawson <daveP@dpawson.freeserve.co.uk> was heard to say:
| website-common uses variable $feedback.href.
| Its not initialised anywhere.

It's initialized in param.xsl.

| I can't find anywhere where the config param
| is used to set a variable.

I just checked in a patch that allows you to say

  <config param="feedback.href" value="whatever"/>

in the layout.xml file. This value will override the param.xsl value,
if it is present. You can do per-page overrides in the same way.

| In the autolayout.xml I see
|  <config param="feedback.href" value="mailto:xxx"/>
| This appears not to be transformed into a variable.

That'll work now. Er, if you grab the files from CVS.
