Will the backend be easy to code? Also, will templates be able to be edited and added via the admin panel? I suggest storing the templates and styles in the database. It would be more efficient instead of editing files. A database could also be optimized.

Hello,

Thanks for visiting and posting!

The template is really easy to edit, I am currently using a smarty based system, nearly the same as phpbb, just a little simpler. This may change in the future, I have plans to code my own template system for future versions, but for the time being, smarty suits the needs of AIOBB.

Templates are currently stored in files - and will be editable in the adminCP, just like in vBulletin. Storing templates in the database was something we was looking into, but decided against it, so many hosts these days are limiting SQL connections, ect, and the extra query per page load could cause problems for some. We may verywell release an option to allow and covert the system to store the emplates in the database, but that will not be for a few releases yet.
