Theme engines

Filter by Drupal Core compatibility:

Theme engines control how certain themes interact with Drupal. Most users will want to stick with the default included with Drupal core. These contributed theme engines are not part of any official release and may not work correctly. Only use matching versions of theme engines with Drupal. Theme engines released for Drupal 5.x will not work for Drupal 6.x.

Awesomengine

Awesomengine is the most awesome engine. It allows for embedding of PHP code, not only in html templates, but in css files, allowing for dynamically set CSS. Otherwise, it is nearly entirely identical to the phptemplate theme engine.

PHPTAL theme engine

This is a theme engine for Drupal 6.x, which allows the use of templates written in the PHPTAL language. This engine does most of its work by calls to the PHPtemplate engine, just replacing the underlying template engine with the one from http://phptal.sourceforge.net/.

Smarty theme engine

A theme engine that allows you to use template files written using Smarty Template Engine syntax.

The 'default' template for this engine is box_grey_smarty, which is ported from the original box_grey theme.

Installation

Because of a drupal-contrib policy, a smarty installation is not currently included in default release tarballs. You can obtain a tarball already including Smarty in the libs directory here (4.6.x) or here (4.7.x).

Please see installation instructions for installation details.

Details

Directories 'configs' and 'plugins' are parsed for files if they exist in the theme directory as well as if they are in the main engine directory.

Overriding other theme functions is accomplished in a manner similar to that described for PHPTemplate.

Preferred Download Link for 4.6.x - smarty-4.6.0+libs_rel2.tar.gz

XTemplate

The XTemplate theme system uses templates to layout and style Web pages. It separates logic (PHP), structure (XHTML/HTML), and style (CSS), making it easy for designers to create or modify templates by working on XHTML/HTML and CSS without having to worry about any PHP coding.

This engine is compatible with both PHP 4 and 5 and is designed to be used with Drupal 4.7. I have no plans to update this module for 5.0. If someone would like to contribute a patch I'll be happy to review and commit it.

Zengine

The Zengine theme engine is a CSS-oriented theme engine based entirely on PHPTemplate.

It is the continuation of the Zen theme project. Zen was designed to be a great starting theme, but this presented a problem because users who have already created their themes were unable to benefit from further development of the underlying Zen framework. Zengine attempts to solve the same issues as Zen in a more robust way which allows improvements to the underlying framework even for those who have already created their themes.
