[Envolution-devel] envrender in Envolution is being ignored

[Scott K. <sc...@ki...>]

Hello,

Just before MADHATter7 left Envolution to persue other things he and
ApathyBoy wrote a rendering API to address the presentation layer. It's
been in the packaging for quite sometime and gone unnoticed I think.

It's includes/envRender.php

It is documented at:

http://www.envolution.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=162

envRender eliminates the Zone system and provides the theme designer
100% control over page layout.

With envRender you are allowed to have layout organization as powerful
as with the old Frontpage module only in any module. It still uses
smarty but is not attached to it. It's an abstraction layer that any
template engine can use above it. And it elimenates the need for pnHTML
altogether.

Postnuke also has the envRender that MADHATter7 and ApathyBoy created
but honestly neither PN or Envo developers have attempted to use it as
far as I can tell.

Perhaps it's time to take the lead and see what we can do with this
software.

If anyone needs any help with this ApathyBoy asked me to invite anyone
to contact him and he will explain it in detail and help out all he can.
He can be reached via AIM ...his username is apathynight.
