My company is looking into developping a set of custom tags to speed up
development of sites for our clients. We want to make modules for the
commonly used componants (forums, calendars, etc). The problem I have is
that different clients want their forums and calendars to have different
layouts, often requiring us to modify the module itself, then we're stuck
with many slightly different versions of the same module to upkeep. I was
thinking of collecting the data from a database into an XML structure and
using a different XSL sheet for each site to lay the data out. I'm
concerned about the overhead here. The only mature XSLT tag I was able to
find is giaXT2 and it required the XML to be in a file on the hard drive and
not just a string in memory. I don't want to have to write out a file every
time I'm going to do an output. Anyone have any suggestions on a better way
of working out this problem?
I also have another question. These custom tags of mine would be a bit big
and general purpose so I'd like to have them written in fusebox. The
problem I have is that we do virtual hosting for several different clients
under different domains. Is it possible to place a fusebox app in the
custom tag directory of the server so each application can call it, or do I
have to maintain several copies, one for each application?
