Talk:Smarty (template engine)

message: Smarty lacks some features like date formating (strftime) and support for MySQL or other RDBMS. I would use vLIB or TBS (TinyButStrong). Just my two cents. --ClausVB 20:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Smarty lacking features ?

message: I don't get it: who placed a cleanup tag on the article and why? There's no discussion on the talk page about this.
I would remove it myself, but I'm new to wiki and thus afraid to blunder. Kaarjuus 21:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The cleanup tag 

message: in the opening. Its not good grammar.
:You know, it is the Wikipedia, where you can not only read articles, but edit them, too...  ;)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyV (talk • contribs) 13:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  take out "a lot" 

message: What do you think about a part concerning the Smarty editors? I have written one: Smarty-Mode. Deboutv 14:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Smarty template Editors 

message: I propose re-writing the second and third paragraphs to look like this:
Tags are directives for Smarty that are enclosed by delimiters.  These directives can be variables, denoted by a dollar sign ($), functions, or logical or control flow statements.  Smarty allows PHP programmers to define functions that can be accessed using Smarty tags.
This compartmentalization allows the presentation of a web page to change separately from the back-end, thus allowing applications to be developed in a more organized fashion.  Using this development model, designers are hidden from the back-end coding and PHP programmers are hidden from the presentation coding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pkrecker (talk • contribs) 22:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: I have been reading on CMS and Template management for a reasonable time. Here I found that there is no real information is given for a novice or someone who wants to use it on its personal website. 
I found some missing sections as well. Such as Feature List, History, Usability, Compatibility, Critique, and most important some links to articles which can explain some one 'What to use?', 'Why to use?', and 'How to find resources?' If some one has the information I purely encourage the person to edit this page. Anyone having a suggestion or criticism please raise here.[sorry for not so good English]  Dkcreatto 22:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it only for dummies?? 

message: I removed the link to the NuSphere page on configuring PhpED for use with Smarty.  It's not about Smarty itself, but about configuring a third-party commercial IDE for use with Smarty.  As such, I don't think it's appropriate to have in the article, as it could be viewed as advertising a product. --TonyV 13:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed commercial link 

message: It is not apparent what files, nor their purpose, are being referred to in the phrase "Since Smarty separates PHP from HTML, you have two files:"  -- SEWilco (talk) 17:00, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Which two files are they 

message: I think there should be an explanation or a removal of the link. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marclaporte (talk • contribs) 22:32, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the link. It seems like covert criticism of the tool. Critiquing the library should be done in the article, not passive-aggressively in the links section. --Sj. Hemminga (talk) 21:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why the link to to page Inner-platform effect?
