The James D. Brausch Munius Article Directory Software PHP scripts are a pretty slick article gathering mechanism to get content from others for your e-commerce or other website.

But there are few rough edges, necessitating a few tweaks I've found desirable.

Munius has turned out to be a worthless POS, so I am no longer recommending its use.  It turns out that Munius causes too much trouble and causes too many problems for negligible, if not negative, results.  I am removing the Munius article directories from my sites.  [2009-03-02]

One of them was derived as follows:  When contributors submit articles, they are supposed to select an appropriate category from the drop-down "Article Category" select menu on the submission form.  But generally, they just leave it as whatever your default is -- usually just "General".

Then, when you go to moderate, and you want to accept the article, and want to put it into a more appropriate category, you have to manually type something in.  I don't know about you, but my memory is not so good, so I don't necessarily remember exactly all the category items and their spellings.  (If you type in a category incorrectly, it won't show in any category to users -- only to you in moderation mode.) Anyway, I figured I needed a drop-down select menu in the moderating (article reviewing) page.

Browsing around the Munius scripts, I found the menu for contributors in "submitarticle.php".  (Lines 21-37 of the original Brausch script I have.)

Copying that into "reviewarticle.php" and making a few modifications to that gets and displays what the contributor originally selected, then allows you/me (moderator) to select either that or a new category.  (The code below replaces lines 42-45 of the original Brausch script in "reviewarticle.php".)

See http://www.e-commerce-biz.com/code/munius-select-menu.txt for the PHP script modification.

See Relusi PHP script moderation menu addition for a similar modification to the Relusi Link Exchange PHP script.

A Core Position is defined as a core or basic position in a readily tradable item, including such things as precious metal (PM) bullion or coins, stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), etc.  Whatever it is you are trading will here be called the "item".

A Core Position Account comprises a quantity of the item AND a cash reserve position.  The cash reserve position enables purchases adding to the quantity of the item from time to time.  Proceeds of the sales of some of the item, from time to time, are added to the cash reserve position.  The cash reserve position enables purchases adding to the quantity of the item from time to time...

Core Position Trading™  (CPT) is defined as buying or selling, adding to or subtracting from, the core position of the item in such a manner as to, over time, increase both the amount of the item AND the cash in the account.
