Yeah I made the site_theme extension for a proprietary application. I had no intention on releasing it so it's not really built to satisfy the community needs. I fully plan on re-working it with the suggestions John made, but like he said I think it's a good idea to get more community feed back.
Jim + Scott,
Would you guys like to be added as contributors to my repo? That way we can have a central place to work on this extension, so we don't end up with 3 totally different, versions.
Also I'd really like to find a way to support single site installations, multi_site, and vhosts.
Thanks,
Chris

Saves you defining your html meta etc tags for every layout.On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 10:35 PM, John Long <johnwlong2000@gmail.com> wrote:

discussed some modifications to his extension that would make it more
flexible in the way that you describe.
To me there are two major areas of improvement needed:
1. Making destruction of layouts, pages, and snippets optional
2. Creating a standard template specification that templates can
conform to (or not) at the author's discretion
The idea behind a standard template specification is that the names of
pages, page parts, snippets, and layouts should be consistent across
most templates. This would allow a high degree of reusability and make
theming much more flexible.
Chris was excited about both ideas but could probably use some help
with the implementation. Also I think it would be good to get a
consensus from the community on what the standard template
specification should be.
