I don't use a pre-made template system instead I created my own little
thing because of some requirements that I put upon myself that no template
system meet:
1. resulting webpage has to look like a unique static web site so any
search engine can store them and link to them directly
2. data files themselves are html documents that can be viewed
independently without the need of the template and contain the page title,
description, and key-words
3. template has to support an navigation bar
4. no frames
5. simple for dual language support
6. content will contain php code that has to work with and without the template
Basically all incoming traffic is redirected to the template file. The
original directory and file is passed via a variable to the template. The
template uses an include to include the content and a file with an array
for the index. Unfortunately the index array needs to be kept up to date
manually.
The file name and description of the weekly pictures are kept in a database
and thus the index and body of the pictures are created dynamically.
It's difficult to describe all this without showing the code. You can see
the final result at http://www.niesens.com .
