Next SMF (2.1+)

<< < (4/4)

Antechinus:
TBH I'm inclined to agree with consolidation. Having them split into more and more pieces just makes things harder to find. I'd rather see fewer templates with better commenting. 

Arantor:
It's a tough call to balance. More templates in pieces means you can do extensions and so on with *far* less effort. On the other hand, it's marginally easier to restyle when you have to deal with replacing the entire template because you don't have any ability to replace a part of it and only have to replace the entire thing.

* Arantor has deal with this a little too much, and is not just talking hypothetically about having templates being split up and made more modular.

Antechinus:
Oh don't worry, I've had to deal with templates too. :D

Arantor:
Yes, I know you have. But I've actually worked with restructuring all the templates so that they're so much more modular and can be individually replaced or restyled without having to worry so much about the *entire* template being replaced.

Ricky.:
to OP, smf is not that bad at all even in current state, yes some times modification really needs to modify a lots of things and files but thats nothing to worry about for a common user but with hooks things are changing.
WP is lot different than SMF and I need to mention here, even though WP looks easy to customize, it goes wanky on resources if you do some modification and even install few plugins as that ease of modification creates lots room for unoptimized codes being inserted.
