you can make some standards like wordpress for your templates . the problem will be the user will need to be a developer or a designer with this approach .

Different view up to different settings?
Hey,
I got problem with finding out the way to create main feature of my site.
I thought of creating let's say blog hosting, on which users are able to create their own blogs, with their own content etc., etc. The idea is pretty simple, and I can handle that part on my own.
However, I would like to make template system, so every user can set template for their blog. I also would handle that (i think), but let's say I would like to make users being able to edit css and html up to their needs. And here's where I need your help, guys!
I would like to hear your ideas on how to make it. Let's say on whole modification, so we can talk on the same level.
Thank you so much!

that would do the job. However this would allow users to use PHP inside their skins.
I thought about making it in way like BigCartel.com does. So user got home.txt./.html (etc.) files, in which they got their HTML + tags like "{ example }", that are replaced with variables. However I don't really know how to implement it correctly. Because putting code like that into view file i don't think is good practice, as it destroys the MVC idea.
home = file_get_contents('example/path'); $this->home = str_replace('{ test.test }', $test, $this->home); ?>{{ $this->home }}

you can use twig template engine it is secure for developer to allow designers to write them templates with it . and it is easy to use .

You basically answered my worries! Thank you!
One more question. How do you (or any of you, guys) think, where shall I store themes? User won't have FTP access to that, he just going to edit it with online-editor, so I'm not worrying about security sides, but...
Templates by itself are going to be stored in following structure: -Templates --{username} ---{template 1} ---{template 2}
Do you guys think I should store these in View or Public directory? And why?
