A reusable set of folders, files and code snippets used to being a project built in ExpressionEngine2. In EE1, you could save templates as flat files, but not the other way around. In EE2, you can do both and create templates from your files. This allows us to use these files to get a jumpstart on EE development.
The "c" and "j" folder go into the web root (to keep the paths correct) and the default.site folder goes into your template directory. Load up your control panel to give it a nice forced refresh and it will then recognize your new templates!
- The example site of what these files make can be seen on starterfiles.com
- I'm writing a series on the thought behind the contents on the development blog, The Nerdary. This readme will be updated with the posts.
- Why I use PHP strings in the markup (server-side comments): Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife, and Hide Your Comments
- I spoke about these at SXSW 09 on a groovy EE2 panel: SXSW ExpressionEngine2: Total Domination Slides (Slides 50-75)
- Ryan Irelan wrote about them on EE Insider
- 1.00 Initial Install
- 1.10 Adding Readme markdown file, fixed a typo in the results template
- 1.20 Changed server-side php strings/comments to EE comments
