VideoDB skinning / integration

As a way to completely, totally waste time I decided to try and “skin” VideoDB using the default portal code and design.
So far I’m seeing mediocre progress. Seems some of the script I use on the front page wont play nice, so I made a scaled down version. In the long run this is of course not doable. It takes too much time and creates too many files that must be updated in case of even a minor redesign. It’s simply not possible to use just one header file for all types of pages. Even though they are all PHP, VideoDB for example uses Smarty (which is great I am sure) to parse template files. At the very least I need to have two header and two footer files. But given path problems, even that is a too optimistic assessment.
