Hi,

I’d love to know what templating system EE uses? Is it Smarty?

My goodness, no. EE uses a template parser of its own devising. It will faithfully output whatever you put in the template, replacing EE tags where appropriate.

Do you ask for a particular reason?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Even though I did not make myself clear, you managed to understand what I was trying to put across. Thanks a lot. In fact I was looking at Code Ignitor [as a Framework]. Ya, I think it looks so cool that I am wondering if it has admin interface similar to EE or one has to build their own interface based on the libraries it provides. By Admin interface, I am talking about giving clients access to the content to change content as it is the case with EE. And again the issue of weblogs, does it apply to Code Ignitor. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

Marks, CodeIgniter (no space there :=) is something else, namely an OOP oriented PHP framework. Since it is also released by EllisLab and ExpressionEngine 2.0 will be based on it, there is likely to be a lot of convergence in the future. It does not have an admin interface, as such, because it is merely a framework.

There are some efforts by the CI community, though, to create something. You should probably search the CI forums for it, or ask there, but CodeExtinguisher might be a good starting point. There are some efforts to build a CMS on top of CI as well, InkType seems particularly promising. In general, this thread should get you started.

And again the issue of weblogs, does it apply to Code Ignitor.

I am not sure what that means. Currently EE and CI have nothing in common except that they are programmed by the same people.

Thanks Ingmar, this explanation helps quite a lot.
