class to that for me).
I think it could be really cool if you could wrap up individual
templates as web applications (in war files). That way you could simply
drop it in your Tomcat webapps-dir.
I don't know the inner workings of Magnolia enough to say if this is
even remotely possible, but I saw that Liferay Portal Server handles its
themes and skins this way. Perhaps one of the developers can give a
rough estimate here? I'd love to help extending the product with these
thing, I only have the same problem as many of you I guess: A day
seriously lacks hours!! ;)
But until functionality like this (or standardized ways of wrapping up
templates/paragraphs) turns up, we ought to go ahead and create a wiki
page for these things. I just think that the wiki-way of handling
uploaded files is somewhat limited, but ok ..
I hope this is going to be much easier in 2.2 and above
For now we should be very carefully gathering all the info about a
single template (module???)
Yes, templates can get so complex that the install-description alone
will probably keep most people from trying to install it. But as far as
simple stylesheets goes, it's fairly simple to share good designs.
