Re: I have about had it! I need some help
Jon,
Thank you so much for your reassurance that this really takes time to learn where everything is and how it works. I was really starting to get overwhelmed last night.
I think where I am stuck after reading the Smarty manual last night and sleeping on it is this. It says to define your variables like CustomerName should be defined as John Doe. Great. I have defined it as John Doe. So now when I put in {$CustomerName} it will always pull John Doe as the customer name no matter who the customer really is. I know this info is stored in cookies and in the database (if the customer is logged in of course) but how does Smarty draw from the database? Is that not smarty? I know php draws from the database and know how it functions.
Do you see the gap I can not seem to fill?
PS. We are signed up for your eZine & you sell several mods we are looking at purchasing over time.
