Description: Fast replacement of phpBB template system. Also allowes to use php in templates.
MOD Features:
- Fast templates compilation algorythm
- Fast templates execution (even if not cached)
- Cache system that doesn't use database
- Auto-check errors in templates while compiling
- Almost all features of this mod can be configured in acp
- PHP code in templates. PHP code should start with
<?php or <!-- PHP --> and end with ?> or <!-- ENDPHP -->
Short tags are not allowed. See manual for examples of code.
- Unlimited <!-- BEGIN blah --><!-- END blah --> switches in one line.
- Include other tpl files with <!-- INCLUDE file.tpl -->
- You can configure separate .tpl files for usual template.php
and eXtreme Styles template.php. It can be configured in xs.cfg
- Variable {LANG} that corresponds to current language. Can be
used to create truly multi-lingual templates (you can use this
in urls: "images/lang_{LANG}/icon_blah.gif").
- Variable {PHP} that corresponds to file extension with session
data. Can be used to avoid modding when you need to add some
url (like "somescript.{PHP}" or "script.{PHP}test=1")
Variable contains "?" or "&" at the end so you could easily
add arguments to url.
- Variable {TEMPLATE} that corresponds to current template
directory (like "templates/subSilver/"). Can be used to avoid
filenames case confusion and to fix phpBB path error when
confirm_body.tpl and message_body.tpl are used in acp.
- In admin control panel you can switch all users from one style
to another and easily change default style.
