Is there a sensible way to remove tables from the the layout of Joomla (mosMainContent) without ruining forward compatibility? I'd like to just output a nice div without the associated tables. Could I perhaps create custom modules to do this or maybe extra methods in the HTML_content class?

At this point no, in Joomla 1.5. it will be possible to create template files that will overwrite the default way of output.

That's a good question. A first beta shouldn't be to far away though.

Excellent news, I'm guessing that 'not far away' means weeks, and not months, years decades  ;D

Do you mean there will be an option to remove tables in the main content area? Can you point me to some docs if available?

thanks,

From what I understood yes, this was mentioned a while back though so it might be possible plans have changed.
Will see if i can find some documentation :)

Jup,

found it.
Have a look at the function _loadView in /libraries/joomla/application/controller.php

This is purly a guess based on what i see in the code, haven't tested it:

You can override the core content by putting files in your template:
/templates/mytemplate/com_content/archive.php
/templates/mytemplate/com_content/article.php
/templates/mytemplate/com_content/blog.php
/templates/mytemplate/com_content/category.php
/templates/mytemplate/com_content/section.php


For the content of those files have a look at /components/com_content/view/* with one small difference, the name of the class should be JArchiveViewArchive_alt in stead of JArchiveViewArchive and JContentViewArticle_alt in stead of JContentViewArticle etc.
