Convert pTemplates into Smarty Templates

[Obi_Wan]

I'm just preparing a workspace to get working (still on a dialup connection currently).

One suggestion: I think logically it is better if we store compiled templates in a general cache folder. /cache or something and not hidden in the template folder. Then it would be easier to exclude that folder when you want to upload everything somewhere.

Dialup is pretty oldschool

The reasoning behind this is to have isolated themes. You want to delete a theme? Delete the folder, done.
Also, we might have multiple themes active at the same time if each user should be able to chose their theme. Although I guess Smarty would also handle fine that with a global compiled directory.

Afaik Smarty should to its own garbage collection. It creates unique IDs for every template file in every folder. There should also bei somewhere an option to enable Smarty to create subfolders in its cache automatically. I hope I'm right there because it has been some time where I had to configure Smarty from scratch.

Ok, this would be a quick change, though. In the mean time I think I checked all the .php/.tpl files at least I haven't found any fatal errors on any of the pages anymore. Also I checked most of the basic functionality.

Here's the latest patch. It applies to the latest trunk (r3348). I ask everyone who can and wants to to test it and the ispCP devs to evaluate integrating it into the trunk.

Also, HenrikS contacted me about the new theme. He's currently implementing it with the new smarty templates but could need some help since he doesn't have a lot of time. Anyone who would be up for that can contact him directly or post here.

Is anyone evaluating this for integration or would you be interested in giving me SVN access so I could do it?

Maybe we can create specific branch for you. What is you Trac account name on our site ? You should have it to allow us to create svn account for you.
