[Koha-devel] prog templates (once again)...

[Paul POULAIN]

Sorry to bother you once again with this subject...

I really tried to code with prog templates. But that's a pain...
Because there are some features that have to be coded in the template. 
Like javascript or some important css/html things that can't be removed 
imho.

Just one example : in acquisition directory, there is a doNotPrint css 
(in default templates) that makes a table column to be NOT printed 
(through a media=print stylesheet) we should not remove this stylesheet 
or we loose a feature !

I agree that actual default templates have to be improved.
- doc-head-open and doc-head-close in prog templates are a good idea.
- dividing menus in mainmenu / submenu is also a good idea.
- we could have a unique id for each div (bloc). It's name could be the 
template name+ a number. With this a local stylesheet could remove a 
feature unwanted through the stylesheet.

My idea is that the templates should be only one, and includes directory 
/ stylesheet being local. That could give enough freedom to template 
designers.

Let me know what you think, and maybe have a meeting on irc to definetly 
decide something.
