Do you have Smarty templates that you would like to use in your wordpress blog?<\/p>\n\n

Do you want a fast track migration from Smarty to Wordpress?<\/p>\n\n

Smarty for Wordpress is the first plugin which incorporates a complete distribution of the Smarty template engine as a Wordpress plug-in. You embed your Smarty template file by using a Wordpress short code with the Smarty template file name and any variable which you want to be passed to your Smarty template file.<\/p>\n\n

There are many useful frameworks written in Smarty and NOT Wordpress, like XCart, that can NOW be implemented into Wordpress with minimal changes and ease?<\/p>\n\n

Stop! Don't throw away that Smarty Template file, Download Smarty for Wordpress, install, activate and use that Smarty template file in Wordpress TODAY!!!<\/p>\n\n

The following publication, \"Guide to Using Smarty for Wordpress Plugin\" available on\nAmazon at (http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00K5XTPL2) or Barnes & Noble (http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/guide-to-the-smarty-for-wordpress-plugin-patrick-ingle\/1123770360?ean=2940158127281) shows how to implement this framework plugin\nin your wordpress blog.<\/p>\n\n

Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

First you need to create your Smarty directories under the theme path that you will be\nusing, e.g.<\/p>\n\n

themes\/theme_name\/templates
\nthemes\/theme_name\/templates_c
\nthemes\/theme_name\/cache
\nthemes\/theme_name\/config
<\/p>\n\n

If you wish to turn off Wordpress themes by changing the constant WP_USE_THEMES to false, you also need to\nset the constant SMARTY_PATH in your wp-config file to the path containing your Smarty files. In addition, you\nneed to specify your Smarty Loader file. This file is your index.php replacement for the Smarty templates and \nobtain a copy of the smarty instance, make any necessary assignments and load your initial templates. The difference\nbetween this implementation and smarty-only, is you have the full wordpress codex at your dispoable from\nyour Smarty routines.<\/p>\n\n

You may use Smarty for Wordpress either in you PHP\/Theme files or from your Wordpress posts\nand pages. To use the API, simple invoke the function that returns the page\ninformation requested. There are three API's for this purpose:<\/p>\n\n

If you wish to use Smarty in your custom worpress php files, then<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Invoke the smarty_get_instance() function to get an instance of the Smarty class \nwith the directories preset to your current theme.<\/li>\n
  2. The simply use the Smarty class members as you would normally use, e.g $mySmarty->assign('name','value');\nto assign a template variable with a value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    You can also invoke the API's from your Wordpress pages\/posts through short codes.<\/p>\n\n

    Create a Wordpress page and enter the following short code:<\/p>\n\n

    [smarty-display tpl=home.tpl] \n\nwhere home.tpl is your smarty template located in the templates path\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    If you want to pass a single variable with the template, use<\/p>\n\n
    [smarty-display tpl=home.tpl name=myVariable value=\"some value\"] \n\nwhere name is the variable name specified in you smarty template file, and\nvalue is the value to be passed to your smarty template file that the above\nvariable represents\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    if you want to pass multiple variables to the smarty template, use<\/p>\n\n
    [smarty-load-multiple tpl=home.tpl name='my1,my2,my3' value='1,2,test']\n\nwhere name holds a comma delimited list of smarty template variable names while\nvalue holds a comma delimited list of associated values for the variable names.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    The admin page under Settings permits setting the following Smarty attributes:\n- SmartyBC, for enabling backward compatibility\n- Auto literal\n- Cache lifetime\n- Cache modified check\n- Config booleanized\n- Config overwrite\n- Config read hidden\n- Debugging\n- Force compile\n- PHP handling\n- Use sub-directories<\/p>\n\n
    Testing Smarty for Wordpress can be accomplished by creating a post with the following shortcode,\n[smarty-test]<\/p>\n\n
    Testing the Smarty Demo included in the Smarty distribution can be accomplished by creating a page or post with the following shortcode.\n[smarty-demo]<\/p>\n\n
