I am thinking about such a system for about 6 months now. Didn't came out of my brain yet. Don't know what Template_Flexy is. I am thinking about IT and Smarty. the advantage of Smarty is that it allows plugins. the advantage of IT is that it is much more expandable because the syntaxt is so easy. It might only be necessary to add 'modifiers' into placeholders declaration and this would do the trick. > the principle is the scripts builds templates which have tags for the > HTML_QuickFroms.. the templates can then be hand crafted to exact > requirements.. I am really sad you made it before me ! You could at least have consulted me ;-) I am really interested to see how you've done it and to work on the code if necessary. IMO, there is place for a real CMS here, much more flexible than PHPNuke or consors. > It's extremely experimental.. - but very efficient...
