Description Nathan Gervais CLA 2009-01-28 13:57:21 EST 
I've committed some new files to eclipse.org-common on phoenix. 

/e.o-c/system/app.class.php

The first major change is the way promotions work.  Before they used to be inserted in $App->generatePage which in hindsight is wrong.  I've moved them into the skin.  Since the skins file have access to $App already i've changed $App->CustomPromotionPath has also been changed to public.

Promotions are now no longer part of e.o-c and now reside in /home/promotions/ so they can be updated easier.

The Nova Theme (visual.css & header.css) have been updated for promotions and also to solve Bugs 262289 & 262659.

The Phoenix Theme (header.php) was updated for promotions as well.

Promotions are still controlled by setting $App->Promotion = TRUE

The default promotion can be overridden by specifying the include path to your promotions file.  $App->CustomPromotionPath = "path/to/file.php"
