Readme
------

This module adds support for the sidebar found in Mozilla and Netscape 6
browsers. A panel is displayed which lists recent nodes and provides
links to the full text of the nodes on your drupal site.

Requirements
------------

This module requires the latest version of Drupal from CVS.

This module is only useful with Mozilla and Netscape 6 browsers. The module
tries to detect if an incompatible browser is being used and prints
appropriate errors in such case.


Installation
------------

1. Copy the sidebar.module to the Drupal modules/ directory. Drupal should
   automatically detect it.

2. Check the "mozilla sidebar" page in admin interface and adjust the
   settings to taste. Currently, you can choose how many new nodes to
   list in the sidebar, and whether or not to show teasers. The default
   is five nodes and teasers on.

Notes
-----

While there is an "administer sidebar" permission, there is not an
"access sidebar" permission. The reason for this is that I see the sidebar
as being very similar to the RSS feeds - it is something that can be
viewed outside the context of the drupal site. Currently, anyone can view
a complete RSS feed, even if they can't necessarily read the content linked
from the feed. I have set up the sidebar to act similarly. I'm open to
suggestions on this, however.
