News Manager (updated)

I have to admit that the current way of settings is a little a bit more difficult than the one in GSConfig. It's not difficult at all, but I guess there are still some people that want to install and be ready to use without any settings. Without any settings, the NM is hardly half as good as it is with them (pictures, read more...)
What I personally don't like the most is that some settings have to be set in the administration, some in the gsconfig.php ($NMIMAGEINPUT = true; $NMIMAGEINPUT = 2 and some in components.
It would be awesome if everything could be set in the administration by clicks only, but I understand that it's a bit more difficult as some settings are conditional. Some settings like "Allow post images", "Allow links in post images", "Automatically add alt attribute to post images", "Auto resizing and cropping post images", "Post images default dimensions" would be possible, though.

I wanted to build all these new functionalities in some flexible way that allows customizing for many different setups.

I intended to add some new options to NM's settings page in some future version (maybe for 2.6), but I'm doing it for 2.5. I'll post a new beta shortly.

Thanks for your comments, and sorry for the late reply.
