(anitsirk, 07:43:08) * Triggers in Mahara (Richard) (anitsirk, 07:43:20) * mahara has a function to create db triggers if needed (anitsirk, 07:45:22) * If a trigger needs to be changed, you drop and recreate (anitsirk, 07:50:15) * the db_drop_trigger function would need to be used for that (anitsirk, 07:50:48) * Upstream status of Dwoo (Francois) (anitsirk, 07:51:56) * https://twitter.com/#!/seldaek/status/167546484865241088 triggered the topic (anitsirk, 07:51:57) * LINK: https://twitter.com/#!/seldaek/status/167546484865241088 (anitsirk, 07:51:58) * Mjollnir` was looking for a new maintainer for the dwoo debian package (anitsirk, 07:53:41) * HELP: : if dwoo is not going to be maintained much in the future, should we keep using it or should we look at switching to something else? (anitsirk, 07:54:27) * IDEA: we could switch but that could be expensive to rewrite customizations (anitsirk, 07:56:04) * HELP: are there any big templating systems for php or is it just homebrewed things from various developers? (anitsirk, 07:57:00) * IDEA: from rkabalin_ : I think we should keep Dwoo, as it entirely meets our requirements at the moment and maintain it as a part of Mahara.
