Use this for pages that might or might not have an image defined in ad.ini; if the second argument isn't the empty string, ad_decorate_top will make a one-row table for the top of the page DEPRECATED: use the template system, e.g. master and slave tags to achieve better control of headers.

Parameters:

package_key (required)

Returns:

directory for the especified package's admin home. # is this accurate? (rbm, aug 2002) DEPRECATED: a package URL may not have anything to do with the package key. Furthermore, the admin pages are normally located in "-package-/admin" and not in "/admin/-package-". One is better off generating package URLs by way of the site_nodes.

Returns multiple values for a parameter as a list. DEPRECATED: this proc does not do much that joining a string coming from a parameter, which does not make an invalid string into a list. Best to take the value from the parameter directly and rely on proper quoting by the user. Furthermore, the 'subsection' argument is not used anywhere.

Switches:

-package_id (optional)
