[geeklog-devel] caching template library

[Joe Mucchiello]

Mark,

I have one more patch. It's a sneaky one though. It was something I'd 
thought about doing before but seeing the CVS activity for the XHTML 
patch it's something I wished I'd done sooner. Basically I added an 
array to the $TEMPLATE_OPTIONS array that contains vars pulled into 
all templates. Originally the idea was for stuff like {site_url} => 
$_CONF['site_url'] but now I see it would be most useful for {xhtml}. 
Not having to do the set_var('xhtml', XHTML) all throughout the code 
makes a lot of sense to me.

Wish I had done it sooner. Could have saved Oliver a lot of code patching.

The sneaky bastard in me want to post a message to the list about 
this feature like it's existed all along. "Hey, I just noticed this 
in CVS a lot: set_var('xhtml', XHTML)... one of the unsung features 
of the caching template code would have meant only doing it once. Oh 
well." But I only just wrote it. And it probably wouldn't change 
anything. Well, it's there now for 1.5.1. Hopefully I'll remember how 
it works when they do another release in 9 months.
