<div dir="ltr">When Themes start getting into file operations - such as writing files to wp-content/themes/child-theme-slug - we are clearly veering away from Theme territory. A theme that has the ability to create its own Child Theme, including parsing the dynamic CSS files for that Child theme - starts to be less of a Theme, and more of an application platform.<div>
<br></div><div>IMHO, putting all that functionality into a Theme is a similar pitfall to making every possible component of the Theme configurable via Theme option, and defeats the purpose of the Child Theme concept. As laudable as it is to try to make things as easy as possible for Child Theme developers, at some point, someone working with a Child Theme needs to have a modicum of understanding of the CSS, HTML, and PHP code being modified. In the long run, we're not really helping end users by taking all of that out of their hands; we help them more by facilitating their self-education in the languages and tools needed to create a Child Theme.</div>

<br>For example I was preparing a "custom page creator", you would choose from select boxes as such;<br></div>I want to create a page that displays "posts | custom_p_type" from "cat1-cat2" ordered by"ID | date" etc... you get the idea.<br>
<br></div>Creating page-templates are a pain for the average user. This "functionality" i am planning not only makes it easier; but also prevents data loss. Because the creator wont create new page-* files but instead it will use the default page.php file and get the query parameters from an option.<br>
<br></div>Would that too also fall into plugin territory ?<br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2014/1/21 Emil Uzelac <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emil@uzelac.me" target="_blank">emil@uzelac.me</a>></span><br>
