Jaguar Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Does anyone use QuickSkin? http://quickskin.codeworxtech.com/ It uses syntax like <!-- IF true --> do this <!-- ELSE --> do that <!-- ENDIF --> I really like the style, but it doesn't seem very popular or well supported. I know of Integrated Template, but from what I can tell it doesn't support if statements, which I want. Does anyone know of any similar template systems that support if statements, includes, and loops using HTML comment style?

trq Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Why use a template engine to slow your application down? They simply add another layer of complexity. Any designer still needs to learn a new syntax, they may as well learn a little php. eg; <html> <head> <title><?php echo $title; ?></title> </head> <body> <?php if ($contents) : foreach ($contents as $content) : ?> <h1><?php echo $contents['title']; ?></h1> <p><?php echo $contents['data'] ?></p> <?php endforeach; endif; ?> </body> </html> its just as simple IMO and much quicker then any template engine.

Jaguar Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, yeah. I have my pages setup that way now. The problem I'm having is with my header file. It has a lot of variables and is included on many different pages. The problem is I do not set some of those variables on every page. So, warnings pop up. Yes, I know I can disable the warnings, but I'm anal and find warnings unacceptable. The solutions are: 1. Use isset() in the header template file. I don't want to do this because I'm trying to keep functions of the template. 2. Set all the variables used in the header on every page. This seems wrong because I end up with a HUGE list of $var = NULL. 3. Use a template system that will convert <?php if($show_button): ?> (or <!-- IF show_button -->) to <?php if(isset($show_button) && $show_button): ?>. I know other template systems do this, but I prefer the HTML comment syntax. 4. ??? maybe you can think of something else?
