Hi,

I am looking at developing a theme and want to try doing it simply using php. Ideally I would like to find an existing plain php template and so that I can see how the theme is implemented just using php.

I have looked in the templated section for downloads but none of them say they are simple php templates. ADC, Goofy and one other don'e thave any description at all (not very useful really).

So, could someone point me in the direction of one of them, of if none fo the ones on this side are php only then if someone has developed a theme like this would they mind sharing it with me so I can see how the code works?

You'll have to install the phptemplate engine into the folder "themes/engines/phptemplate/" first. After that, you can use any phptemplate theme to start hacking on, e.g. box_grey. or kubrick or any theme that uses the phptemplate engine.

But is that the same as plain php themes? Because it seems to me that they are two different things but I'm not sure.

The chameleon theme in core is a "plain PHP theme". This is different from PHPTemplate based themes.

I'll check it out.

As for searching, I read the handbook and downloaded all the themes and looked at them, but I am new to this and so wasn't sure which one I should focus my attention on. Thanks for the pointer ;)
