Database driven templating system

[eluser]dioony[/eluser]
i started to code such a template-system, but give it up because due to the MVC pattern i decided to have no view-elements in the database... and i think a database driven template system is not very dry. therefore i use a rails-like system: each controller has a folder and each method a view-file...

but if you're looking for something:

maybe you can use the "display_override" method and a hook to replace the expressions... for another project i used the Yield-hook (which i found here) to load various subcontent into a default-layout. there were also some expressions like {content} {menu} {footer} or something like that...

maybe this could help you...
