Changes 6 5 0 Beta 1

Installer-specific JavaScript: Removed from main, "dada_mail js" File

Installer-specific JavaScript has been removed from the main, "dada_mail js" file, creating a smaller "dada_mail js" file

new, "dada_mail user js" file

The, "dada_mail user js" file holds JavaScript for user-facing Dada Mail screens At the moment, this is most client-side form validation for various user forms, including the Subscription Form

The following new HTML can be seen in the head of the list_template tmpl

  <script src="<!-- tmpl_var SUPPORT_FILES_URL -->/static/javascripts/jquery-1
8
2
min
js"></script>
  <script src="<!-- tmpl_var SUPPORT_FILES_URL -->/static/javascripts/jquery
validate
js"></script>
  <script src="<!-- tmpl_var SUPPORT_FILES_URL -->/static/javascripts/dada_mail
user
js"></script>

You may optionally add these lines to your own List Template to gain the same client-side valiation, but this is currently entirely optional

Documentation on these lines will be made available, once the stable release of v6 5 0 is made
