[Solar-talk] Solar_View questions

[Rodrigo Moraes]

Hi!
I'm Rodrigo, from Brazil. I'm a big fan of Savant, admire and learn
very much with Paul's coding style, and this is why I am here. :) I'm
just starting to explore Solar, and here are some doubts...

- Why Solar_View::addTemplatePath() doesn't accept full paths? I took
me a while to understand why a triple checked path wasn't found. Then
I saw the include_path part in Solar::fileExists(). Isn't it a bit
counter-intuitive to rely on the include_path, or perhaps am I missing
something?

- I want to use Solar_View or Savant3 with Zend Framework. After a
while, I tend to choose Savant, because I'm used to it (well, both are
very similar, so this is not a good reason) and mostly because it is
an independent package. Well, moving from Solar_View to Savant is easy
enough, and given that the API is so similar I am confused. Am I right
to think that Solar_View development is more active or this is because
Savant is perhaps more mature? I would like to know more about their
differences and plans for the future, and if Savant would be a good
choice in the long-term, even because I intend to use other Solar
parts. Sorry about the cross-project (and not-very-objective)
discussion. :)

cheers,
