MY OPINIONS

[thecodingmonkey]

Templating is evil!!!

 

I like the system the way it is, It needs to be cleaned up and xhtml compliant. That is it. Installing more of a templating system than is already there is a crime pure and simple.

 

The focus of this project is that is should be lighter and faster, with a new design to break people away from the current "design" (which if I see much more of, I am going on a postal tour)

 

I think the latest CVS admin is way to bulky, the admin does not need to have dhtml menus never has never will

 

One day we will live in a world again without computers, so stock pile your money, turn it to guns and supplies and hide from Big Brother Bush.

 

These were just my opinions, do not send me hate (e)mail!

If you knew more about proper template systems you would most likely not feel that way.

 

A pure template system would separate logic from presentation and make themes much more easy to create, maintain, and implement. However, both of the current template engines offered as contributions are hybrids at best since they still use PHP in the templates. This defeats the purpose but still presents an easier way to modify the stock layout.

 

It's funny you should post this because I was just beginning my work on rolling Smarty (http://smarty.php.net) into a stock osC-MS2 install. My goal is to leave the stock code intact and capture the data / assign the arrays to templates on the fly. This will ensure complete backwrd AND forward compatibility with current and FUTURE contributions. Right now it is mucho difficult to integrate contributions if you have BTS or STS installed since the code is moved from point A to point B. It makes the "cut-n-paste" coders actually find the correct place to make modifications.

 

If you want to help rolling Smarty or if anyone else wants to help just let me know...I sure do need the help!

Hey, Chemo! You Rock! I'm amazed at the level of commitment you've shown with your contributions so far. I've just started working with Mambo and I'm very impressed with their contribution system. There is a built in API in the code and all cntribs must meet the standard to be integrated or the installation fails and is rejected automatically. I love it! Yes, it probably limits the number of overall contribs but it makes it so much easier for a hack like me to get the tweaks I want installed.

Also, I used to use a cart that is php,mysql and Smarty. It wasn't free but the source is open. I can't sell or give it to you, but I could let you read it. Maybe there are a few good ideas in it?
