Zikula theme status

[Máirín Duffy]

Here's an update on where we're at now. Thanks to itbegins and affix for 
helping me out today!

Here's the stuff still needing to be resolved:

• Author names - I can't figure out how to get real human names :( not 
sure how. Also my method of linking to the author's profile is rather 
hacky.

• Feature story - I'd like to have one story displayed in full 
blinginess on the front page, it seems the news module has a way to do 
this but I can't figure out how to make it work (how do you assign 
'today's feature' to an article?)

• EZComments packaging - we need someone to package this ASAP. Any takers?

Here's the stuff that was resolved:

Simon fixed this :) It had been disabled because of security reasons but 
since only admins can edit articles it's probably okay.

We need to have EZComments packaged - it not being installed is the 
reason the comments tags aren't working for me.

affix wrote a custom RSS feed but Simon pointed out Zikula has this 
pre-built in, it was just broken (bc of a config setting I tweaked, 
sorrys :( ) and it works now.

Simon figured this one out. :)
