Do many people use smarty?
I am playing around with a website, and designing various features. I realized you have to copy the same HTML over and over again if you want multiple pages until my friend guided me to Smarty. Is smarty a good system? Is it easy to use and is it popular? Please vote in my poll.

Yeah, Smarty was way too complex for me. I wrote my own which, originally, I though was going to be simple. Then, I started adding loops which worked okay until Igot nested loops, and then ifs which worked okay until I got nested ifs and ackk.
I rewrote the whole thing today and it's faster AND actually works perfectly (I even programmed in some parser errors and such for myself ^_^). In hindsight, I probably should have used Template Lite, but I was so excited to write my own, and then didn't wanna waste the effort... :-p

Template Lite.

Smarty is much too slow and bloated compared to template lite. Template lite claims to be a stripped down version of smarty, but really, every feature you'd need is in there. I love it.

Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

It's written from the ground up without Smarty code except for a few of the plugins. The main focus was on small memory footprint, speed while containing most of the features of Smarty. Plus there are a number of things TL can do that Smarty can't.

Which really isn't needed by most people using Smarty or any template engine.The Phoenix wrote:Save one: Security mode.scottayy wrote:Template lite claims to be a stripped down version of smarty, but really, every feature you'd need is in there.

The key word in the sentence was every feature you'd need.AKA Panama Jack wrote:Which really isn't needed by most people using Smarty or any template engine.The Phoenix wrote:Save one: Security mode.scottayy wrote:Template lite claims to be a stripped down version of smarty, but really, every feature you'd need is in there.
