Hi,

Great application!

Is it possible to adapt usage of serendipty using custom queries etc without smarty templating?

Thanks,

D

Hi!

Yes, serendipity 1.1 offers "php-only" templating (also xslt/xml templating). You can read more here:

It is still expermental and the current "default-php" is nto yet 100% converted, but it should be easy for you to achieve that.

However, you can also easily extend the Smarty functionality by creating your own smarty functions/modifiers - do you know that?

Best regards,
Garvin

Superb! This is one of the reasons why serendipity stands out from the crowd, you keep thinking and improving...

How do I stay tuned to this topic?

Hi!

The best way would be by contributing

You are the first one apart from Davey who has shown some interest, so maybe you could just download the nightly, have a try and convert some of the remaining templates?

Best regards,
