New Beta 0.3.1: small improvement in themes

Themes now automatically include all files in ~/.PyDS/www/images/ that are referenced by the template files. This makes sure that layout images are included with the theme. Important thing: you must reference the images by name, so the ThemesTool recognizes them - don't compute image names. If you need to use computed image names, you should put the image names in HTML comments.

Migration from Radio

Just a short tip: if you use Radio and want to change to PyDS, you can do that easily with XML/RPC, some cutting and pasting and a little flag.

First you use XML/RPC to transfer all postings from Radio to PyDS. I have a small script for an older version of PyDS, but if you need it, drop a line and I hack it up to work with current versions.

Next, since Radio doesn't have an API for stories, you have to cut and paste all your stories over from Radio to the PyDS.

Last step (or first step) is to set the radio comaptible URL flag in the preferences, so your URLs for day pages and category pages are mostly identical to your radio installation. Ok, only the path part is identical, the anchors won't fit (so you loose your comments), but all links from google should go to the right page. That's actually what I did with my Radio installation ...
