Yii 1.1 General Discussion

hi,

i want to switch from codeigniter to yii framework and i want to use phptal as a template engine,

because it separetes the business from presentation much better.

Did somebody try to do this? or did somebody else integrated another template engine?

Thanks in advance

I’ve partially integrated Smarty, Quicky, Dwoo and Twig. They are all missing some features but generally working.

I think you will be able to implement renderer for PHPTAL. There are some useful things to study first:
