Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system,
I''d
like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log,
the last change was in February of 2006. Does this mean that the project has
been abandoned? Or, at version 0.3 it was considered production stable and
complete?

I have been using markaby for a bit now. And I think the reason for why it''s not been updated for a while is that I can''t find anything to improve. :) I think it''s safe for production use. Even if something strange happens and something isn''t working for something you do then it''s no like it overrides anything. You can always do a rhtml for exceptions. I reccomend that you leave your layout as rhtml though if you have external designers. On 7/17/06, Larry Kelly <ldk2005@gmail.com> wrote:> Recently discovered Markaby.

Thanks for the encourgement Jon. I''ll go ahead and use it. Your advice about leaving the application layout alone is a good one. I my case, an external designer probably won''t be brought in until Version 2.0. My layout has dynamic menus based on login and permissions. It''s much cleaner if I can use Markaby. -Larry On 7/17/06, Jon Gretar Borgthorsson <jon.borgthorsson@gmail.com> wrote:> > I have been using markaby for a bit now.

I at least find it better to leave all logic out of the layout template and do things like menus and such things in partials or helpers. I feel at least dirty if the layout has more code than <%= side_menu_here %> and so on. -- -------------- Jon Gretar Borgthorsson http://www.jongretar.net/
Good suggestion. I probably don''t use partials as much as I should :) -Larry On 7/17/06, Jon Gretar Borgthorsson <jon.borgthorsson@gmail.com> wrote:> > On 7/17/06, Larry Kelly <larry@tellinkltd.com> wrote: > > My > > layout has dynamic menus based on login and permissions.

Larry: also look at using .4 or xhtml-careful: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/markaby/browser/branches/xhtml-careful Jamie On Jul 17, 2006, at 2:22 PM, Larry Kelly wrote:> Good suggestion.
