Hello fellow frameworkers, I finished my proposal for a ZendX_View_Dtl component which aims for inclusion in the Zend Extras Library. It is a full clone of the Django Template Language Parser (Django is a python web framework much like ZF).
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_View_Dtl+-+Benjamin+Eberlei The Django Template language is an object oriented template system, that allows for template inheritence. See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/ on how it works. I have already finished a first version of this component downloadable under http://www.beberlei.de/calypso/ with some information on how to get it running with ZF MVC (Dont be confused: Calypso is my personal zf extensions namespace). There is also a demo included that shows the integration with DojoX DTL (A clientside Django Template Language parser), where you can mark certain blocks of the template as clientside and they are sent to the browser to be renderd by DojoX DTL using json data from an url thats called. I know its yet another template language, but the possibility for Server vs Client-Side rendering allows to change a site from complete server side rendering to partial client side rendering in seconds, which might be a very viable solution for Projects that implement B2B software. I'd really appreciate some feedback, Benjamin -- Benjamin Eberlei http://www.beberlei.de
