Partial

Partials are html-based php templates that can be used within Drupal as blocks, full pages, simple pages for ajax load inline, and views module styles.

Drupal inherently provides support for templates within the database for blocks and pages but with Partials you can use template files and can easily move between database-backed or file-backed pages or blocks. Partials definitions can also be cloned, exported to xml and imported from xml.

Partials support external css, javascript and php files which can also easily be moved between the database or use files.

Partials also support a plug-in property architecture which allows dynamic insertion of properties into templates.

Partials works with views (http://drupal.org/project/views) module to provide custom styles if present and will also use the codefilter (http://drupal.org/project/codefilter) module for display. Neither of these modules are required.

(http://drupal.org/project/node_scheduler_partial) module provides integration with the Node Scheduler (http://drupal.org/project/node_scheduler) module allowing nodes to be scheduled to Partial properties.

Note: This module is a developer and themer support module. This is an early beta release. Proper documentation to follow shortly.
There has been reports of problems using this module with PHP 4. Until I get a chance to track down the dependency this module is PHP 5 only.

This module is supported by www.randomlink.com
