2017-01-18

  • Louis pushed his recent development to a new branch, twig-layout
  • Further explanation of the new Twig template files
  • LS 3.0.0 will break backwards compatibility, so we need to warn people before upgrading.

2016

2016-12-20

  • More Twig discussion
    • Louis made progress, but is not present at the meeting
    • config.xml must be made smaller for ease of development of user templates and/or be fully documented.
    • The Twig implementation must be tailored to both "casual" and "professional" use, meaning being dependent or independent of core upon choice.

2016-12-13

  • Argument about how to solve RTL-templates for users
  • No news about Twig or 3.0.0

2016-12-06

  • Louis back, estimates 2-3 weeks to implement Twig template system. So release alpha in early 2017 to test? Also, we should probably write down the spec...
  • The wikipage about Twig should be updated before alpha to give test instructions.
  • Twig should be limited to only those features that will break backwards compatibility. Other features can wait until 3.1.0, like edit question views in template engine and parent-child templates.

2016-11-29

2016-11-22

Louis had a deeper look on how to implement Twig into LS. Will make an extension. Estimate to two months? Tammo and possibly Denis will help test and bug check.

More information here: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Template_engine

2016-11-15

Discussions about Twig, how the feature will look like. How much will be changed in replacement_helper and SurveyRuntimeHelper? What's the estimation? Do some prototyping to get a better grip.

2016-11-08

Merge answers_html into dev branch. Make sure it's tested properly until next week. Tammo adds a new test survey that can be used to look for bugs. Bug reports should include screen-shots and lss file.
