Compatibility with Timber Framework plugin?

    Hi,

    We use Timber on quite a few projects – https://upstatement.com/timber/ – and I have found it difficult to implement the custom search page template instantsearch.php with this plugin. Before I try and dig into it I was just wondering if anyone else had achieved this or there were any plans to support Timber in future? Basically Timber doesn’t use get_header() or get_footer() and when our search results page is viewed the site looks a bit broken, with a default WordPress page being loaded instead of anything from the theme.

    Thanks

    Probably not, at least not at the moment, on offering Timber support by default. Not to discount Timber as a solid platform for those who know how to make use of it, but it’s definitely not a default thing for most users. So sticking with the WordPress theming method would be the best case for us.

    The question ends up being how to convert/customize the instantsearch.php template file to integrate best with Timber. Looking at the to-be-2.0.0 template, it looks like the file is about 30 lines of html for the actual display and a sidebar, and then the rest are script templates for individual hits on a result, as well as instantsearch widgets from Algolia for populating the markup with various pieces of data.

    Mostly a matter of how to nicely output the markup to be populated and the script tags to actually do the population.
