The plan is to implement templating systems for a couple of extra sections. At the moment, these new ones will most likely just be for board listings & topic listings as I feel those are a couple of the more difficult sections to customize with just javascript.
But what I would like to try and improve on would be how easy all the templating systems are to manage and use. As normal, I've got a few ideas of my own on what needs changing but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on what extra functionality you'd like to see in the near future
Well you probably thought about templating for diffrent skins, and you better set it so you can Import/Export them too. iv given some random suggestion before, i am gonna be playing with the IC templating today. Only advice is when your doing board remodel and main Rpofile remodle you be alittle picky on little thing, like say recent posts
{if:userrecent}
{userrecent_foreach}
{userrecent_name} @ {userrecent_time} <br/>
{/userrecent_foreach}
{/if:userrecent}
something like that.
Also for date and such maybe something like {userrecent_time:dd-mm-yy} so it can be adjusted, for other things even. If you need any layout ideas for the Main Profile as default ones that aren't custom, poke me, iv done several for the-forum-that-shall-not-be-named
When did I mention doing one for the main profile? o.O I've never thought that section is too difficult to do with JS as everything has (or should have) an ID. I guess I'll need some more persuading first
Multiple skin support is being considered. I've just not decided how yet.
Are export/import really needed? It's just text and maybe a couple of settings which would need to be copied over. The big argument for doing it with skins was that you have to copy & paste up to 150 different urls, settings or colors. I thought people could cope with just 3 or 4? Although I suppose it could be built into the skin import/export. Or is that what you meant to start with?
heheh we were discussing it 2 mins ago XD! i swear! XD
nono you posted about it somewhere, and I think you should do it! would be SHEXY! and and yummy! and Ross like!
*thinks everyone agrees with him*
And yesh i meant with the skin import/export
but its not needed me guess
could you possibly make a templating system for the quick login so people can design there own?

That's not needed. It would only allow people to change it in that box. I think codes for this are best!
Just to confirm, I'm now working on some of the changes mentionned as well as a few changes of my own. Once I've got a final list of changes I will post it here. But in the meantime, if anyone has anything they would like to add then please do so
Templating to the member list. I'd love to be able to change, for example, how member ranks are displayed.
