Extended templating

By farcaller July 14th, 2008

Looks like CTemplate really does not fit FOW. I’m not going to drop it completely (as I’ve already have basic support for it), but I’m going to make more flexible template system available.

Currently I have an idea of building “pre-compiled” tree of plist-like structure. That seems to be pretty fast and there’s a great possibility to save processed tree to disk (or some other storage) for caching in property list format. I’m not yet sure about syntax of templates, but it would be definitely simpler than django templates. No “endifnotequal” tags anymore!

    I’ve started coding Ruby on Rails today. This would be my first programming experience in RoR (and in Ruby at all). I have several webapps that I’ve been planning to code in Django, but I’ll give RoR a try to see other way of developing web applications (that might be implemented later in FOW).
    Currently what [...]

    It has been a major PITA but I’ve managed to run Trac alongside with PHP/WordPress. Also I’ve done some basic (and pretty ugly) drawing of FOW logo and decided of “official” name. So, welcome the [F o:W] project Project trac is available at http://fow.farcaller.net/trac. Project mercurial repository would be available till the end of [...]
