The Visual Configuration File<\/h2>\n
This file is meant for the end user. Although being still a text\/php file,
\nits layout as well as the way variables are named is taking that into account:
\nbeing as user-friendly as possible is the key. For that reason, I made the
\nchoice to not use variables but multi-dimensional associative arrays that are
\ngiving the opportunity to name the different element in a very comprehensive
\nway. <\/div>\n
This array is named $VISUALS<\/code> in capital letters to follow a
\nnaming convention I’m using for all “global” arrays. The array is first indexed
\non an integer value to allow multiple configuration sets to be defined. This is
\nthe way the eDreamers<\/a> tools
\nare made “skin-able”, you can jump from one set to another by just changing the
\nid which can be provided by an URL (HTTP Get request) for example. <\/div>\n
The parameters that you want to make available via this visual configuration
\nfile are up to you. It fully depends on your stylesheet and what is the freedom
\nthat you want to give or not give to your end user. In the scope of this
\narticle, we will consider the following very simple example:<\/div>\n
