Smarty

Okay, I'm convinced: I want to use Smarty for some of my upcoming PHP development. It's the first template engine that I really like the feel of!

However, one place I'd like to use Smarty is inside the PostNuke CMS (http://www.postnuke.com), preferably as a block inside a page with other elements. I've looked around but don't see any notes on that...

Has this already been done? Or, is there a developer out there familiar with both Smarty and PostNuke (or the other Nukes) who could offhand say how hard this might be to integrate?

TIA--

Smarty can be used in the current version of PN. For an example of this in practice take a look at the PostCalendar module. This makes active use of smarty throughout the module and it's blocks.

For the future PN .8 has incorporated into it the Xanthia theming engine and has added pnRender module and block rendering components. The theming engine and rendering components are wrappers around the functionality of smarty.

Thanks, Mark!

I'll take a look at that module, and see if I can make my own module for the task I'm tackling.

Sounds like PN .8 will have some great new features and flexability.
