These form elements are incorporated into the general gen_metadata.php page, depending on which extension is currently being invoked. The gen_metadata.php (see source) file accesses the extension directory and outputs a list of available extensions — […]
In order to help faciliate code walk throughs for those who are willing to help examine the Wordform source code for security and other problems, I’ll be looking at checking this code into SourceForge CVS in the next couple of days. I’ll probably also re-release the source code then–without the metadata extensions, until these are […]
