    [greg-dev] some feedback about gregarius

    First of all, I'd like to thank you for effort in the development of 
    gregarius - i am very thankful to the fact that i may use it :-)
    
    Regarding to the post of Marco 
    (http://sinless.org/pipermail/gregarius-dev/2005-September/000424.html)
    and an answer I received from Sameer I would be very pleased to release 
    the theme after I finished my work on it. Hope this will be soon - I 
    will try to spend as much as time I could effort on reengeniering it.
    
    While I am playing with the templates there are some things I mentioned 
    and want to share with you - maybe these are important and could enhance 
    gregarius. Hope all things are understandable ,-)
    
    1. nav.php template
    -------------------
    
    in the index.php there is a function call rss_nav_items(), which calls 
    the wrapper function rss_nav_items(), which creates a new instance of 
    Navigator and renders the items. So the nav.php template will be 
    needless. It's never called. So I implemented a new function
    
    function rss_nav()
    {
         $nav = new Navigation();
         $nav -> render();
    }
    
    I see this only as a workaround, because the render function calls the 
    nav.php template (with rss_nav_items() embedded), which creates a second 
    instance of the navigator.
    
    2. navigation class
    ------------
    
    the constructor adds by default some navitems to its list.
    for the devlog its customizable by config - it would be great to do so 
    for the other navitems.
    
    3. taglist.php
    --------------
    
    the function render() contains the template - therefore it is not 
    possible to change the style - a template would be appreciated :-)
    
    4. private feeds
    ----------------
    
    if i mark some feeds as private and they have new items - these new 
    items are shown index. but not the feeds. I guess this could be a bug - 
    maybe someone can doublecheck?
    
    
    Hope this could be helpfull ^^
    If there are more things I think they are worse mentioning - I hope it 
    will be appreciated to post them here.
    
    If you could need a helping hand on development - just let me now - I 
    would be very pleased to contribute.
    
    Best regards,
    Marcus
