Maybe you can help to port some important plugins to use Smarty templates? Then we could do some benchmark tests.
Sure. I am willing to help, not only to complain. :wink:
I will do that and come back to you then.

Smarty Templates are only compiled once, but to execute a parsed template still ...

I see your pain, but in your case I suggest you to duplicate the plugin and adjust the HTML code there.
That's not very handy when you need to upgrade.

The reason is performance: If every plugin would use a Smarty template, the generation of plugins will take about 4-5times longer than at the ...

I just read again my first post and I am sorry if my words were a little bit rude.

I think my disappointement was the reason.

Thanks for the answer Garvin. :)

I was mainly talking about the plugins output. For example, the Amazon Affiliate Plugin has hard coded HTML. You may say that it is not an official plugin and that's true. But an official plugin like the one that manage the categories has also hard coded HTML. BTW ...

Hello,

I am not currently using Serendipity because of some things that were annoying me in the way it works. One of the major ones was the way templates were handled.

BTW I do not know what is the wfw:commentApi. :oops:
Maybe I should wait ...

Oops, I did not think about that solution.

Thanks Garvin.

Hi Garvin,

here you can find my test installation.

I only choose "Use Apache mod_rewrite" option in the URL rewriting combobox. Am I supposed to do more ? I have found no documentation regarding this.

Is there a reason for the RSS 2.0 being the only syndication format which provides a feed for comments ?

With release 0.6rc1 I can not get the mod_rewrite mode working for URL rewriting.

This Apache module is installed and working on my box since I use it in my current site but when I activate it in Serendipity, most of the links are broken.
The server does not find existing files.
When I use the ...

Hi, I am planning to switch to Serendipity but I am facing some problems.
I also have some feature requests. :D

So let's start with the templates. My site is made of valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and valid CSS2.

AFAIK there is no way to change the HTML head. The default head provides a HTML 4.01 ...
