Hi all,
First of all Contao is very great CMS and framework. I like it because as a developer I can easily develop new modules and new functionality. As a designer I like it because the basics are done and the only thing I have to do is to style the different columns.
However, I am using Contao 2.9 and the new theme module has one big disadvantage which is the ability to export and import theme's. Actually this is not too bad at all. But when I am using modules in a theme, lets say a login form which redirects to a particular page and when I am exporting this theme, the module gets exported. And when importing this theme on another site, the redirect page is not correct.
Pragmatically this means that layout and content are mixed. It would be nice that the theme module really makes themes and that there is a content module where additional content could be added and linked with the theme.
I am wondering how you think about the theme module in Contao... And I would like to develop a new way of handling theme's. However this requires changes in the core and I am willing to do this but before I would appreciate your ideas and also I would like to know if I am going to develop this, if it would be merged with a new Contao version somewhere in the future.
Thanks,
Jaap Jansma
