On the subject of manager templates, I’d like to propose that we move all manager related themes, scriptaculous, media and whatnot to the assets directory.

Sorry but i don’t think we should. These are sahred core files/features that can be accessed from a single core install.

That’s a very good point, especially when you start thinking about managing multiple sites from a single manager install. Just ignore what I said! wink

Hi Everyone,

I now have the first page (login) working under the new design (ThemeEngine)

It’s working well with place holders, etc.

Here’s an example of how the system works:

$theme = &$modx->manager->theme;
$theme->initialize();

$theme->includeTemplate('header');
$theme->includeTemplate('footer');
$theme->includeTemplate('content','mutate_settings');

$theme->setButton('save','Save');
$theme->setContent('icon','<img src="[[+themeurl]]logo.gif" />');

$theme->render();

It’s a complete separation of logic and ui. Note: The ui files can use both the <?php ?> and [[]] tags

Would love to see the test of the code, template and output. That looks so simple!

Very nice Raymond. That will be a very refreshing approach to customizing the manager.
