PageBuilder Plugin
I have been working on a plugin, which allows you to build and display additional pages from within the Links SQL admin. Simple examples would be: "About Us" page, "FAQ" page.

Features (so far);

1. Page definitions are stored in database (including descriptions, keywords, meta-tags etc.)

2. The pages are completely template based, and you will be able to use all the globals/includes of your default category.

3. Pages can be viewed in static and/or dynamic mode (configurable per page)

4. The pages are related amongst themselves through a page hierarchiy (i.e. page A is subpage of page B). This allows for automatic breadcrumb navigation (like the category struction in Links SQL)

5. There are various page types: simple (e.g. "About Us") pages, but also pages associated with a link, a category, a user, an editor, a review. This feature is very powerful, because it allows you to build any number of pages for e.g. a link (detailed view 2, printable view) or a user (user details).

6. Pages can have build conditions: for link/user etc pages, you can specify for which link/user etc the page is built (e.g. only for links which have are premium links)

7. Page can be viewed conditionally. This allows you to only give access to the page to certain people (e.g. the owner of the link, registered users) or to everybody (this is only for the dynamic mode, of course).



I would like to hear some feedback on this, comments, suggestions, feature requests etc etc.
