I've only been using PHPRunner for a short while (~6 months) and I've already found it a really valuable tool for generating solid back end code quickly, however there are a few things that I'm finding it increasingly annoying not having access to, and I'm wondering if others share my thoughts, or if I'm out on a limb here...
- Standards compliant XHTML code (capitalised tags do my head in)
- Grid based layouts (and the death of tables!)
- Easier integration with 3rd party js libraries
- Integration of 3rd party templates (specifically responsive css layouts)
Understanding the obvious challenges of implementing some of these, both in terms of programming them in to PHPRunner, and using them in web applications, it would be nice to be able to call on them when it just makes sense. As it stands, the work I have to do in pursuit of the outcome I want leaves me feeling that I'm giving birth to bundle of spaghetti code that somebody will one day laugh at me for!
To the same end, I'd be keen to hear from anybody who uses some clever tricks and hacks to be able to get around these sorts of limitations and punch out great looking web apps. Anyone care to share screen shots to show what can be achieved?
