Indra is an inplementation of a clever Javascript found on dhtmlgoodies.com, for rounding boxes corners built by the tag "DIV" in a static html page.

I begin to adapt the JS for working on a dynamic structure, in other words: a PHP script takes data from an XML file, and use them to write the dynamic portion of JS code.

I made this job in one rainy day and at the end, after a an hard trial with any fool possible acronym to baptize my script, looking on Wikipedia  I decided for  Indra, the  east indian God of Storms.

The next step was the script inclusion in the CMS "Flatnuke", by Simone Vellei, so I redefined the theme functions and some core functions. Important,  from FlatNuke 2.5.8 : To implement Indra any hack to FN core code is required, to redefine those core function you just have to copy the files in a dedicated directory, read installation instructon for further details

Then, assuming that people doesn't have to know XML to live better, I decided also to code a way to edit Indra features on-line, without opening the XML directly: the result was the Indra Theme Editor.

So, at version 0.1,  Indra core files are:

roundedcorners.js : the js found on dhtmlgoodies.com, with some small changes made by me

create_blocks.php, create_menu.php, create_news.php : the redefined flatnuke core functions

none_indra/ : this is the CMS section, with:

    section.php : contains the Indra Theme Editor script.

    loader.php : the file that loads the variables from the XML file

    script_writer.php : the file that writes the dynamic portion of roundedcorners.js

    none_files/scrollingpopup.js : an other javascript used in th theme editor, for scrolling edit menus, the js is by: dhtmlgoodies.com

    none_files/colorpicker.js : the js TIGRA Color Picker, with some small changes made by me
   
    At least one Indra theme: the basic one is relased on the package but is possible download other themes from this site.
Each Indra theme is conventionally named: indra_(something), and contains the classic FN theme files (theme.php, structure.php, style.php), rewrote for Indra. Moreover Indra themes contain the XML config file, that MUST HAVE THE SAME NAME OF THE FOLDER, namely THE SAME NAME OF THE THEME.

Important: Indra redefines the name of theme functions for calling header, menu, left and right blocks, so Indra themes aren't compatible with FN classic themes, if you use a theme selector you have to remove classic themes.
