The Smarty wrapper provides a wrapper interface to use the Smarty template engine for CONTENIDO Backend and Frontend.
After installation of plugin smarty templates can be used in CONTENIDO modules or plugins.
Example
//get smarty frontend or backend template object via singleton pattern
$tplFrontend = cSmartyBackend::getInstance();
$tplBackend = cSmartyFrontend::getInstance();
//assign some data and display template
$tplFrontend->assign("some_value_key", $some_value);
$tplFrontend->display("templates/some_template.tpl");
Incomplete
Please describe the implemented classes and the functionality to get a global client template. Also hold in mind, that the wrapper in modules (and plugins?) resolves the requested template path to the specific template folder.
