Smarty

How to create a project with Smarty?

Smarty is a template engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. This implies that PHP code is application logic, and is separated from the presentation. If you are using the Native installer, to start a project with Smarty, it is necessary to start the BitNami Console. If you are using a Virtual Appliance or AMI, you can run the commands below directly.

These are the files that you can find in the frameworks/smarty folder:

demo  libs  sample  README  COPYING.lib  change_log.txt

You can check the "sample" or "demo" folders to know the folder structure of a smarty application. In this case, if you want to enable the "sample" application, you should uncomment the following line at the end of the installdir/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file:

Include "installdir/frameworks/smarty/conf/smarty.conf"

Then restart the Apache server and point your browser at http://your_domain/smarty. You can use the graphical Manager Tool or using the following command line:

./ctlscript.sh restart apache

You can see the the following message:
