[Vtigercrm-developers] about new template manager (Vtiger 6.4)

[Prasad]

I see a value on fallback which is a reason it exists within layout,
but I'm not clear on how it can work across multiple-layout.

Few questions:

1. Between different layout - won't there be DOM / Client-side event
handling changes?
2. What if the layouts are using different CSS frameworks? How to handle
the fallback.
3. If i386 List View is not implemented for a custom module should the
fallback be vlayout's List View?
4.  i386 layout List View - would having vlayout fallback for Detail View
better?

Regards,
Prasad
