Hi Alan, We need a bit more time to get everything sorted out with templates. Alexey has committed a renderer for ITX (that works with his version 2.0 only) and an example in Docs/Renderer/. This uses a Visitor Design Pattern. We are now thinking about a fixed form template along with the block loop template. More to come about this soon. For Flexy, I wonder what's best: have the renderer directly in the /QuickForm/Renderer directory or have it in Flexy itself ? IMO, it make sense to have it in /QuickForm/Renderer. Just a note before you start: Headers (from addHeader()) and Data (from addData()) will probably be converted soon to static elements (from addElement('static')) instead of special elements as it is now. This won't proably change a lot of things in the current renderers implementation. Methods like addHeader and addData will wrap calls to addElement('static'). As for the documentation, I will start writing one when we have templates. At the moment, only the examples (and your own phpdoc documentation) will show you how it works. :( Don't hesitate to ask me or Alexey if you have any troubles. Thanks a lot, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
