FullScreen plugin vs module. What's the difference

Hi there,

we are upgrading from an older version of xinha (dec 2005) to the version 0.931 (latest stable).
It looks like the FullScreen plugin has been transformed into a module.
this breaks the code trying to load the FullScreen plugin.

1) I'm curious as to what is the reason why there was this change?
2) Also is there a way to make a missing pluging silently skipping it instead of disabling the whole xinha widget to init. see for example the line off of XinhaConfig.js :

....
if(!Xinha.loadPlugins(xinha_plugins,xinha_init)){
return;
}
....

Re: FullScreen plugin vs module. What's the difference

1) FullScreen has not been a "real" plugin for ages, as it has always been loaded automatically, even if not in the xinha_plugin list.
The distinction between "plugins" and "modules" has been introduced to show which parts have to be present for Xinha to work ("modules") and which are optional ("plugins"). When I did this change I failed to realize that obviously many people were including FullScreen in their plugin list. Sorry for that, folks.
2)No, unfortunately not.
