CMS Made Simple Forums

Have you ever considered using Savant instead of smarty? I have use shared hosting accounts and they seem to have problems with memory limits. A ton of stuff works great (WordPress etc.) but anything with smarty seems to cause problems. Smarty makes no sense to me anyway since PHP is really a templeting language to begin with.

You can find out about Savant here:

This makes tons of sense to me and I would think it would use significantly less memory.

You were right, but it would be a very big step to another direction cause all around CMSms is Smarty based. It would mean to rewrite all existing modules and so on.

Are you the volunteer to do that?

Maybe another alternative could be the Smarty compatible template system dwoo

Dwoo is a PHP5 template engine positioned as an alternative to Smarty, it is (nearly) fully compatible with its templates and plugins, but it is written from scratch and aimed at going one step further with a cleaner codebase.
