Ok so i'm not sure If i am posting this right on the system.. if not can someone please email me and let me know how to do this?
I vote Smarty is implemented.. I had offered a bit ago to implement something similar and fix up the php code, but shortly after had got hired for a job I was trying to get, and now don't have enough time to totally clean up phpMyAdmin while it is still under development, and keep my copy up to date :S.
If Smarty is going to be implemented, I will have more time to help with development that is needed on the project, as it will create a more modular approach and let developers pick just a small section they would like to add in to the project.
IMO Smarty is a very good templating engine to use, I have used it lots before and it is quite effective in many uses.
+1 to the tally from me.
