For those who want/need to learn more about smarty...
 

I have written some php funcionality I wish to include in my X-Cart, but was (still am a little, but much better off now) clueless of how to incorporate my code into the existing Smarty template structure. I came across the following tutorials that really helped to flick the light switch on for me and thought I would share:

I'm not a programmer by trade - I'm a sys admin guy - so I code more as a hobby (yes - the most dangerous kind of programmer there is...)

anyway - hope this helpes those out there needing to extend the functionality of their X-Cart's...
