Hey, From someone who hasn't really been following the changes, but who really hates PHPTemplate (which is designed more toward developers, rather than graphics artists and end users IMHO) and would much rather use Smarty... Will Smarty still be available as an option in 6? AKA. Will theme engines support still be there? Robin On 5/3/07, Earl Miles <merlin@logrus.com> wrote:
Now that the new theming system is basically in (I have one outstanding patch and 2 more in the hopper that are not yet at patch level, but they shouldn't affect this), we now need a coordinated effort to properly .tpl-ify the majority of Drupal's theming functions.
At the same time, I think we should also be looking at what isn't themable enough in Drupal and try to correct that at the same time. And this is a good place to try and correct Drupal's HTML/XHTML code to conform to the proper standards.
The Themer Pack project was started as a gateway to this, and it hasn't been entirely successful (though I give HUGE HUGE HUGE kudos to dvessel who did a LOT of work on the themerpack, and calebg who started to but got busy).
