PHP driven + non-server-side literate = Bad Webdesigner

LOL! well, I’d like to be knowlegable in something before I get into it. Anyway, I’ll bug Xaph later to peak into the TXP system.

Danny,

I’ve got Textpattern set up on my server, but i’m not using it currently. If you want to, you can play around with it. It’s just my sandbox, as I’m trying to get my feet wet with it.

Drop me a mail if you’re interested.

as txp is up to version 4.0.1 now it’s best to check out the textpattern resources, textbook website, and of course the forums for more recent information and instructions. to those checking it out, have fun! if i can figure it out, anyone can imho i’m glad i discovered it when i did because i couldn’t stand MT, frankly.

dailyMalaysia.org is just one of a growing list of txp-run websites i’ve done, and will have a slight revamp once i get a bit of time to update to 4.0.1.

Textpattern is a PHP+MySQL setup. You can even use PHP code the template pages and even in the entries. Everything is dynamically generated, there are no physical archives so it saves space.

Hmm, I’m wondering if Textpattern is also driven by PHP or is it automated into HTML?

As for the stripped out HTML it’s because I don’t have HTML enabled but I do have automated URL conversion swtiched on. I chose it that way for personal reasons.
