Hi,

We usually need generic php functions for template operators, I think Exponential should include a kind of swark extension by default. For each new project, I usually install this extension, very useful...

Thanks !

I really wouldn't be happy about that if it were to happen.

If fact, while we're at it, why are extensions like ezoracle, ezsurvey, ezmbpaex, ezodf and ezcomments part of the package? Most of the time I'm not going to use any of them.

@Steven: There is a fat/full and a light package, the light one should not contain any of the extensions you mentions beside ezodf.
@Jean: As you see, different people use different extensions, many don't use swark as they probably have a clear separation between what they do in templates (view) and what they do in custom modules in pure php (controller / model).
