[geeklog-devel] Better way to manage themes stuff

[Tony Bibbs]

Hey, I was talking with a coworker doing a few GL installs for some 
personal things he has (including one for his church) anyway, he ased a 
question around knowing what template variables are available to a page. 
    That got me to thinking a bit about the translation stuff for GL2. 
Right now there is a PHP shell script that can recursively parse .php 
pages calls to the getText() function.  With a little modification it 
would be easy enough to have a hacked version of that script pull out 
calls to setVariable().  In addition to that we can have it look at 
which actual template it is working on and then print a file that lists 
the template file name (absolute path) and variables used.

Now that by itself doesn't do a whole lot but maybe that could be the 
basis of what gets used for documentation, no?  Heck, even knowing what 
variables are available in each template without descriptions would help 
since many of the variables have descriptive names.
