Yep, left myself quite open there...should have been more specific. I will not write a templating library myself because there are sooooo many out there, it would be a learning experience of course but other than that I think it would be rarely needed. I meant bundling it along with the rest of the scripts, (which would add around 500kb to the size) and then giving instructions on how to do a basic configuration for smarty. > > Searching google I found this very nice place discussing PHP templating > (you > > might also want to read up on how many there are!) > > http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123769&page=1&pp=25 > > but no discussion of including any of these with commercial software for > the > > client to setup and their results. > > Smarty is licensed under the LGPL. > I've never read the LGPL, but > TTBOMK that means you can use it in commercial/propriatory software, > which I'm > assuming is what you're refering to. Nope, sorry, I should have been more specific here too. I meant what I said above...nobody has discussed what experience they have had if they bundled smarty along with their scripts and then told the client how to configure smarty or if the clients had any problem configuring smarty etc. Cheers, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
