Other Send News To other nuke sites Create some mechanism to get nuke news to people in an efficient way. For example, currently a module/theme developer needs to log onto multiple sites and post the news via copy and paste.

Here''''s a few possibilities:
* module it saves your name and password for each site you want to submit to and your enter your article info once and it submits to the sites.
* Mail list some kind of list that will help populate sites.
* RSS Feed have a special tag so that "released" news from your site goes to a special RSS feed that other sites can pick up and automatically import into news module (to be approved)
. * web service (see additional discussion here: let us spread the news automatically )

MetOpen Super Topics Create Admin GUI Create an interface to have admins enter their set up (now it uses language files.) The module will only need to be installed once for use with multiple topices. Users can chose the category etc by clicking a pull down list. Vote for it 3 2/1,200(0.17)Discuss
MetOpen Super Topics Create multiple Supertopics in one shot Allow the creation of multiple supertopics from one copy of the module- now you''d need to duplicate it.

(This needs the gui interface done first)

PHPNuke Search engine friendly features like changing title and meta tags PHPNuke can strengthen it''''s position with search engines if it had the ability to have metadata specific to each page- or at least each module. 5 0/2,000(0.00)Discuss
PHPNuke Image capability in a news article When creating a news article it would be nice if there were a drop down menu of images stored in the root directory somewhere that you could place inside the article, and of course have the text wrap around the image. 5 2/1,800(0.11)Discuss
