--- End quote ---
its possible to use also TWIG for the templates in 2.8.4 for front- or backend themes - also, not only :wink:
--- Quote from: Yetiie on April 20, 2015, 12:46:48 PM ---I thought (as it has been reported, did not test 2.8.4 at all up to now) that the Flat-Theme would amlmost work on 2.8.4 and only some adaptions to icons and htts had to be done to nclude the nwe functionalltitys?
--- End quote ---
The Flat-Theme works very fine under 2.8.4
there are some missing language variables at the moment, because they a renamed in 2.8.4 or new functions
Simple Solution: you use a language file inside of the template, then it works together in a 2.8.3 or 2.8.4. Its also possible to use own translations or regional languages like bavarian etc
Another Way: rename the relatet PLACE HOLDERS in the htt-files, but then you need a special 2.8.4 -version
--- Quote from: Yetiie on April 20, 2015, 12:46:48 PM --- do I understand it right now that twig is not an official item for 2.8.4
--- End quote ---
TWIG is a official item of the 2.8.4

@ Yet
Of course, I agree.
What we are talking mainly here, is what Tez said when he started the thread:
--- Quote from: Tez Oner on April 19, 2015, 09:23:08 PM ---But for that it's needed to have a shared goal - and not individual issues or whatever. There's 1000
ways to have contact / contribute on WB these days, but the development process at the moment
is to unstructured to actually contribute anything. What's needed is to have some structure like any
software development should have, and maybe new methodics.

Your work and you theme and your skills are very good and shouldn't be wasted.
That's what I can say in case you feel insecure about it.
We can have meetings and all that but only AFTER the Verein decided that WB is a community developed, open source project again (as it is not at this time).
If the old structure (with One-Dev-Do-It-All-Cuz-He-Knows-Best) stays in place, such meetings are rather pointless.
Development will stay as it is and in 3-4 years you will have ACP (Admin Control Panel = Backend) realized with Twig and all the backend is working in-sync with the modules backends etc.

First of all, 2.8.4. is not out yet.
Second, I doubt that 2.8.4. will make it possible to use Twig themes for the ACP.

As said for years: Let people work, don't forbid it.
--- Quote from: Yetiie on April 20, 2015, 01:13:53 PM ---Are there oghters who would like to engage themself?
--- End quote ---
If there's a fundamental change regarding development and planning WB: Yes, I would do something.
If it's going the same way since 2009: No.
--- Quote from: Yetiie on April 20, 2015, 01:13:53 PM ---And who would like to maintain the idea of standardizing css elements for mudule development?
Even (maybe only) if there are enough people the dev team could change their mind and prepare the little requirement for it to 2.8.4?[/b]

1. The WB team has to say: Yes, we like the idea, that people not involved in the core development team do something for WebsiteBaker - not just writing wikis or finding bugs.
2. People will come, I'm sure.

Agree Michael.
Why not starting a poll?
Do you want WebsiteBaker to be a community developed project, with several teams working on branches and adding ideas, prototypes and improvements to the core?
[] Yes
[] No
[] I don't care - I only take :evil:
Let people vote and they also can talk about their decision openly (just like in this thread).
The "Verein" should take into consideration the outcome and act accordingly.
