Hi, I have a question for the wordpress templates author.

Do you guys use a differnet system for each file? If you don’t, what do you do?

Thanks.

I personally began with the Thematic framework, but I’ve since carved out my own streamlined framework/template system that allows me a lot more flexibility in terms of custom admin panels without the bloat of a full blown framework that’s built to handle more usage scenarios than I need for it.

In general, I try to stick to the same general template system for every product. My buyers love my own system so far, and it allows me to work on updates to the framework as opposed to updating each and every product backend individually. It also reduces the amount of debug and QA time on new products… since I’ve already tested the framework/template system extensively.

Hope that helps :)

Are you asking if we create a new wordpress install for each live preview? I didnt really understand it.

I haven’t made any Wordpress themes for TF yet, but when I get around to it, I’ll probably install Wordpress MU on my server and run all demos from there. Since every theme will need a different setup, a single install won’t suffice.

Yes, exactly.

Yes, a different install, but if you export your content to an xml file and then import it back in the 2nd,3rd etc install, it’s very easy and takes minutes at most.

And how do you do that?

Im pretty sure WPMU has differences to the normal WP, so just be cautious when you decide to dev it that way. ;)

@ Admingold : Just click tools and export is my guess.

Yeah but how, when and where can I import it back?

BTW it’s AdamGold, not AdminGold. :)
