Where is smarty called from?
 

Well, I went to the smarty forum and I think it'll be a couple more years before I dare enter there again (not to mention that their guide requires a Ph.D.).

My questions is, where on Earth do all those $ files come from? I know that they're in the php files, but where? Is there a trend? Is there any way of seeing something like $something and saying, "Aha, I know where the HTML to this thing is."

I found this $ variable in my subcategory.tpl that I believe will help me change the number of subcategories per page, but I have looked through so many php files and have not found anything defining this $ variable. The variable that I'm looking for is $total_pages.

Anyone dealt with this recently?

Thanks again.

search the php files for

smarty->assign("thesmartyvariablenamewithoutthedollarsign "

for $total_pages, it is in include\navigation.php

Thank you so much. It helped. :) It's good to receive an answer once in a blue moon.
