Good afternoon reviewers and developers!<div><br></div><div>I want to get your input/opinions on something. The next version of Oenology will incorporate layout options:</div><div><br></div><div> - Static Page default layout, via Theme Option</div>
<div> - Per-Page layouts, via Page Templates</div><div> - Single Blog Post default layout, via Theme Option</div><div> - Blog Posts Index layout, via Theme Option</div><div><br></div><div>I am considering adding post meta to allow for per-post layout selection. It is simple enough to implement; however, here's my question: would this cross the content/presentation line? Or expressed differently: would it be inappropriate to add Theme-specific custom post meta in this manner, given that such metadata would be mostly useless to the user after switching Themes?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm leaning toward the opinion that it would be appropriate, but I am concerned about the scalability of Themes filling up the post meta table with data that are only useful when using a given Theme.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>Chip</div>
