Brings Laravel's great template engine, Blade, to Wordpress. Just install and start using blade in your theme.
== Description ==
Blade is the template engine for Laravel, a very popular php framework, developed by Taylor Otwell. This plugin brings the same template engine to wordpress.
Using a template engine will result in much cleaner template files and quicker development. Normal php can still be used in the template files.
The plugin also adds a wordpress specific snippet to blade. Check out the examples for more info.

Contribute on github: [github.com/MikaelMattsson/blade](https://github.com/MikaelMattsson/blade) == Installation == 1. Upload folder `blade` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Make sure that `/wp-content/plugins/blade/storage/views/` is writable by php 1. Done! You can now use Blade in your theme = More options = It is recommended thay you change the path to the location where the compiled views are stored to within your theme. This will fix problems with wpml. To do so, put the following code in your theme folder and create the folder/directory “bladecache” in your theme folder. `if(function_exists('blade_set_storage_path')){ blade_set_storage_path(get_template_directory().'/bladecache'); }` == Changelog == = 0.3.7 = * Added support for BuddyPress = 0.3.6 = * Fixed bug with incorrectly appending to unitialized variable.
