I pulled apart the client when it was first released to see what made it tick. Knowing absolutely nothing about smarty and quite a bit about PHP and HTML I took snippets of code from the client files and built my sites from the ground up so I could learn the API and know exactly how my sites worked. They've since been augmented with MySQL database features to inject custom content and cache some of the SW data.

EDIT: apologies to CMS users. I've seen some threads on Joomla and Drupal integrations but neglected to add a CMS option to the poll. Sorry. Seems I can't edit the poll either.

I'm kind of part way between modified and built php from scratch, some of the bits i'm using are straight out the box, where as other bits i've had to rebuild completely from scratch for my own purposes.

I am starting to get a little frustrated by the limitations of the software though and am pondering whether to tinker with building my own entirely from scratch at the moment.

I am strictly an HTML/JavaScript programmer, but often use client provided code (which I find is often JavaScript, ASP, or iFrame).

P.S.: Happy Holidays, Everyone!
