Ah, I see what you mean. A couple points:

All config options are loaded with:

<%Links::config_vars%>

and are prefixed with cfg_. So you don't need to worry about a config option Username conflicting with your links Username field.

Also, right now users are not meant to add to the config. That's what plugins and template globals are for. Plugins have their own built in options storage/retrieval. If you go to Plugins->Plugin Manager->Edit for the SearchLogger (assuming it's installed), the SearchLogger has two options (just foo and bar right now, more testing it). These are separated from the main system config.

I do agree though that it needs a more sophisticated form building system, and for future changes, the form builder would be nice for the main config as well (HTML isn't nearly as fun as perl is). =)

Cheers,

Alex
