</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>For the record, CivicSpace uses Smarty Template and believe that it's easier to edit and comprehend than PHPTemplate. But with the automated tools for PHPTemplate themes like contemplate and view and cck wizards it is hard to keep up.

<div> And have all of the theme template code built in so it would be drag and drop. </div></blockquote><div><br>So we need a library of template files or template functions that can be stubbed in.<br></div></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div></span><div>Correct. Too bad the theme documentation for Drupal is so poor. Or it would allow the developer of the extension to finish it faster but with all the options of Drupal for each person to create their own unique theme.
