I've posted before but no one replied because I think it was confusing.
My problem is that I have a website where users have profile pages, and
they can each chooser their own (i.e. blogger.com) Point of this
question is...how can I make a system where template layouts (e.g, 3
column layout, 2 column, vertical, horizontal) can be created for it so
it's scalable and easy to make "templates" for? I just need some
concepts and methods of how to do this PLEASE!!!!!!!!! ! this is holding
up a project and i'm REALLYYY getting annoyed with it...
PLEASE give example code...the system I have now is kind of like
this...
/* SOME SQL QUERIES FOR THE $users array, and manipulation */
$t = new template;
$t->_template_pa th = $template_path; # /core/templates/blue/
$t->_template = $users['template']; # blue.template
$t->_css_file = $users['style_sheet']; # 'template.css'; etc
$t->_meta = $users['meta_tags']; # users keywords, etc
$t->_title = $users['title']; # title of page "Johns page" etc.
$t->_content = $users['content']; # contains the objects/modules they
want in the main body div
$t->_left_conten t = $users['left_content'] # left div content (if
turned on)
$t->_right_conte nt = $users['right_content'] # right div content (if
turned on)
$t->render(); # draw everything
inside the template class it basically just gets all the .template
files, arranges them in order does some queries and echoes them... I
need help, is this even a good idea? will this be way too slow? is
there a simpler way to do it? HELP!!!!!!!!!

news:11******** *************@f 14g2000cwb.goog legroups.com... Smarty is it's own language...way too involved for what I need I need
fast, quick, effective and scalable (smarty is out althought it could
be all of the above, it's too much.)
It's very easy to write your own small and quick templating toolkit for
doing exactly that. Just think about it logically, and work out great
methods for caching your templates into something that can be used quickly,
and take it from there.
Erm.. Smarty is fast, quick, very effective and scalable. It's not
really 'too much', it helps a great deal! I've done a system using
smarty where user can choose their preferred skin, all I had to do was
pull the CSV value from db (skinname,skint ype,skinlayout) and dump
these values to smarty to pick the correct skins.
Caching is also easy with smarty.
However, Smarty needs some getting used to. You're quite right when you
say it's like learning a new language, but once you're used to it,
you'll wonder how did you even code your websites without it!

Why not use a cms - eg Drupal?
PS: I have experimented with Drupal and have decided to hand code my
websites because Drupal (and other cms's) are too fragmented and provide far
more options than I will need, in code that is too difficult to comprehend
because it comes from so many different sources. But, it might be suitable
for you because it is very easy to allow users to select their own style
from a selection of styles that you can provide, add to, and customise.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
