Answer by Mitchell McKenna for What CodeIgniter template library is best?

I recommend Phil Sturgeon's CodeIgniter Template.

Features include setting:

Page title - will predict a default if nothing is set Breadcrumbs Meta-data Layout files - wrapper around the loaded view Themes Partials - load any number of views in the layout (sidebar, menu, extra footer, etc) Loading views in modules and more

It is used in PyroCMS; a popular CI modular CMS (which Phil also founded).

I recently asked Colin William and Phil Sturgeon the difference between their templates. Although William's has better documentation, William's said Phil's has a couple features he hasn't added to his yet such as "support for themes (setting a base directory) & it's more actively developed".
