Full Photopost Intergration

[MPDev]

once you rmeove the php then the templating takes on a life of it's own

Except vB hasn't removed php from the templates - it's just created its own template language which is then preprocessed before being displayed:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
...
</if>

I'm just saying different strokes. Not everyone codes their products to a "vB standard". You might prefer a template with its own syntax while others might prefer a template made of of php.
