Today I started on a private project with one of my friends, where we are looking at creating a fitness and healthstyle website, and this time around I wanted to design a very robust, hack-safe website which will keep you going for a few years.
I’ve evaluated some of the FREE templating system available under the gnu licenses and found two in particular very interesting, namely:
1. patTemplate
2. Smarty
SO of course I did and went some reading about the different systems, and found an excellent tutorial/blog-entry that Havard Lindset wrote about patTemplate on DevArticles.com .
At the end of the day I selected Smarty, why I really don’t know, maybe because I got it to work the fastest and am now running a multi-theme, multi-language web interface with this engine.
Now just waiting for our first advertisers … mmm
