Looks good Mario,

I’ll play with it soon !

Hi

You have a fatal bug in your code (layout helper).

Support for mutable objects types was dropped in PHP5.

While the code worked in PHP, it seems like this was undocumented usage that was “stumbled upon”.  I ran into
this bug report at php that confirms this.

For those that are using PHP5 and get an error. resolve this by changing all instance of $this to something else

Also, you may have to rename the libraries/layout.php to libraries/Layout.php (watch the case)

Otherwise, Rokster. it looks like an interesting concept. Thanks for the contribution.

Rokster, thanks

Crafter, I didn’t see that bug because I am developing on PHP4. However, nice catch! Thanks.

BTW, this bug is gone in the new build.

good app! thanks

btw, there is a small typo in line 52 of layout_model.php

to correct it, note the single and double quotes:

Thanks for this well designed addon!

Hello,
  This seems to be a nice library. But I see it is licensed under LGPL. So am I allowed to include this in a commercial script? If so, where do I put this LGPL license text. (It has to be there right?) . Or is the license text within each source file in yats enough?

Thomas

Thomas,
As item five of LGPL states, YES you are authorized to use this library on your commercial app. You could create a folder called licenses on the root directory of your project—usually that’s how I do it. Also adding a reference note on your about page would be nice as well. More details about the license can be found in two versions, complete and compiled.
Cheers,
Mario

PS: Why this comment “But I see it is licensed under LGPL” since this license is the most appropriated for a library?

Thanks for this well designed addon!

You’re welcome! See, my main goal here was to create a library that would allow me to easily implement my graphic design on the apps I’m developing. I say this library is “Easy to design for and easy for designers” because I am a designer. 

Thanks for the reply. I just said that about LGPL, because I would have been more at ease if the licence was MIT licence or BSD licence :D.
