    Reverting data_connect

    Reverted data_connect.php to the version before and added a cookie lifetime parameter to accompany the gc - garbage collection of the session data, instead of relying on a simple redirect which might cause unwanted behaviour. Sorry for the inconvinience.

    General update: data_connect, classicmenu plugin update, categories fix and update

    Main changes include:

    - data_connect.php update. Script now exits if session time limit is reached, not depending on ini_set() behaviour only. User gets redirected to login screen.
    - Classicmenu plugin is also updated, using some javascript to add the menu in the page.(proper for a plugin)
    - pageResults() function is improved to avoid including similar or unwanted values in results per page menu. Some more functions have also been improved in log.php.
    - post.php change, including new file prepost.php in every post permanent link page.Categories fix Unlike 1.0, in MonoCMS 2.0 categories did not have a name.txt file to refer to when searching for the category name and was relying on folder name only. This caused failure to load a category page when the two names didn't match. Now a new categories.xmlfile is introduced to save all info needed about categories.(monofiles/filesinfo/categories.xml) A new file is also introduced for categories as in the posts case, precat.php.
    Note: This is a general update, please update home cataloque files.
