Pyrocms is using Dwoo template engine.
In Dwoo, we can make inheritance template.
{extends "default.html"}'
but, I can't do this in pyrocms that using Dwoo.
That wouldn't work. We only use Dwoo to allow dynamic syntax in the themes and written content.
What are you trying to achieve? The idea is you make multiple layouts and any shared content is put into partials, then you can load them using {theme_view('partialname')}
All of that stuff is a bit of a mess in v0.9.9.7, we've cleaned up the themes and syntax a LOT for v1.0 :)

if i select Theme A then html would be change Theme A wise.
if i select Theme B then html would be change Theme B wise.
etc.
please help and thanks in advance.
Hi
Very hard to give this answer because your question is very out of range. :)
But I will try my best to do this.
Many way to build different themes put in CI
1) Use of CMS in codeigniter like
->http://www.getfuelcms.com/
->http://www.nodcms.com/en
2) Second way to do this things the easy way is to build your dynamic system as per your recruitment.
Also easiest way is to build your site in wordpress.
Although the library has it years(newer php version may scream error about &=, just delete & ) you can use https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-template - it uses theme concept. But you have to build database layer for themes usage logic. And if you know, which theme your site is using, then you just use method of the library: $this->template->set_theme($my_current_theme)
If you like a complete tutorial, check out this link
http://www.roytuts.com/using-template-in-codeigniter-3/. This is just an example, however and there's many more out there.
I agree with cssBlaster21895, that library can still be made to work for modern PHP versions. I just adjusted a few things and that made the errors disappear.
Is there any way to convert html template to Liferay 6.2 theme ? Is Alloy UI help me about this ?
There is no "one-click" tool to convert an html template to a liferay theme. You have to implement the theme yourself and use the "diff" folder to configure your own custom templates (.vm), scripts (.js) and styles (.css). Check out the official docs:
https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.2/development/-/ai/creating-themes-and-layout-templates-liferay-portal-6-2-dev-guide-09-en
https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development/-/ai/creating-liferay-them-7
+1 for Artem's answer which gives you the correct answer to your question. As a "no" might not be what you were looking for, let me add some reasoning extra - why would such a tool be introducing even more work later in the game?
If you look at the basic structure of Liferay's HTML code - all the nested divs, classes and ids - you'll find that they're quite clean and structured. A lot of Liferay's functionality is implemented with this kind of DOM in mind. If you'd introduce your own, completely unrelated, DOM from your own template, you'd need to find all components in Liferay that assume a certain structure. For example Layout Templates: They define "drop zones" where you can add portlets to the page. You probably don't have them in your existing templates. Another example: Maximized portlets. They'll need a DOM element to go into.
IMHO you're a lot better of to stick very close to the original DOM and just tweak your CSS to address the classes/elements you need. This is, of course, just a very general recommendation - for certain usecases this approach might also be a disadvantage. But most of the standard usecases are covered IMHO
Is it possible to use two different themes for BuddyPress and WordPress ? If yes, please tell me how.
WP - 3.8.1
BP- 1.9.2
In general - no.
BuddyPress tightly integrated into WordPress, and uses it's templates, just adding some own html pieces on pages.
Of course, using some hacks you can change that, but that will result to problems in UX and maintaining all that code.
I think it's much better to have 1 theme, but for BuddyPress pages you can add additional styles and change html - BuddyPress allows to do that, you can redefine any template file.
Because of the complexity of the existing webpage templates, I am trying to develop my own template engine with both easier syntax and the function I need.
When implementing the function of "include an other template", I began to wondering how to manage the variables in the included template, and those in the template included deeper.
It seems that adding some prefix to manage the namespace is to solve the problem, but I think it makes the variable names too long.
So how can I manage them in a good and simpler way?
A Little Background Information:
I've been looking at a few PHP framework recently, and it came down to two. The Zend Framework or CodeIgniter.
I prefer CodeIgniter, because of its simple design. It's very bare bone, and it is just kept simple. The thing I don't like though is the weak template system. The template system is important for me, because I will be working with another designer. Being able to give him a good template system is a big plus.
Zend was the second choice, because of the better template system that is built in. Zend is a different beast though compared to CodeIgniter. It emphasis "loose coupling between modules", but is a bigger framework. I don't like to feel like I have many things running under the hood that I never use. That is unnecessary overhead in my opinion, so I thought about putting a template system into CodeIgniter: Smarty.
Question(s): How easy/hard is the process to integrate Smarty into CodeIgniter? From my initial scan of the CodeIgniter documentation, I can see that the layout of the framework is easy enough to understand, and I anticipate no problems. I want to know if anyone has used it before, and therefore are aware of any "gotchas" you my have experienced that is going to make this harder than it should be or impossible to pull off. I also want to know if this is a good thing to do at all. Is the template system in CodeIgniter enough for normal use? Are there any other template modules that are good for CodeIgniter aside from Smarty? I better off with Zend Framework? Is any wheel being invented here?
Sorry to resurrect an old question - but none of the answers have been flagged as "accepted" yet.
There's a library called "template" that does a great job of allowing you to use just about any template parser you want:
Template CI Library - V1.4.1
The syntax is pretty easy for integrating into your CI application and the smarty integration spot on.
Slightly OT, hope you don't mind...
I'm a Zend Framework user and I think it's worth saying that the loose coupling means you don't need to include any files you're not actively using. Hopefully this negates your concern about unnecessary overhead.
With the layouts stuff added in a recent release of ZF, its templating is really hard to fault... and it's completely pluggable as Favio mentions. The more I use ZF, the more I like it; they do things the way I would do them!
I did a quick google search and found the following:
http://devcha.blogspot.com/2007/12/smarty-as-template-engine-in-code.html
http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/67127/
If the designer is not familiar with Smarty, I think it's almost the same as if you use the existing CodeIgniter templating system (which leaves everything to PHP actually). It also depends on the complexity of the project at hand.
You can also hook Smarty with Zend Framework. It's more complex than with CodeIgniter, but there's already a primer on how to do exactly that in the ZF documentation. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.scripts.html Plus lots of tutorials on the net.
In my opinion it's almost the same, you can use pure PHP or Smarty as your template "engine", so it depends on the project. Also, compare a developer who has extensive experience and already has a library of view helpers so she uses pure PHP, versus a designer who doesn't know anything about PHP, but has extensive experience with Smarty. Sometimes decisions have to be based on who is going to do what.
Check out this custom CodeIgniter templating library. I've already used it on several projects and it is easy to use. I know this post is late but it's worth checking out.
It doesn't appear there has been an answer selected for this question nor has an up-to-date solution been given to work with the latest version of Codeigniter (2.0) and the latest version of Smarty (3.0.5).
This library allows you to use Smarty 3 with Codeigniter 2.0 so you can use Smarty 3 specific features like template inheritance.

Integrating Smarty in CodeIgniter? It is a breeze!
The template system in CodeIgniter is very basic.
Follow these steps for Smarty 3 in CI 3:
Download CodeIgniter 3
Download Smarty 3 and put its content in 'application/third_party/smarty' folder
Create 'Custom_smarty.php' file in 'application/libraries' and add this code:
<?php
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
require_once(APPPATH.'third_party/smarty/Smarty.class.php');
class Custom_smarty extends Smarty {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->setTemplateDir(APPPATH.'views/templates/');
$this->setCompileDir(APPPATH.'views/templates_c/');
}
}
?>
Create 'templates' & 'templates_c' folders inside 'application/views' folder
Create simple 'test.tpl' file in 'application/views/templates' folder
Open 'autoload.php' in 'application/config' folder and add:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('custom_smarty');
And inside a controller: $this->custom_smarty->display('test.tpl');
If you are working on localhost set the permissions: sudo chmod -R 777 templates_c. Otherwhise contact your hosting service, if you catch the error Unable to write file. First be sure templates_c folder exists.
Otherwise you can use another template engine like Twig.
