Smarty Plugin : Anyone?

  • CLICK HERE FOR SITE

    The site above lists out a simplified means of using Smarty for the templating engine on a WordPress install. I plan on trying it out when I find some time on the computer. However, in the meantime… has anyone else successfully implemented SMARTY as an official WordPress Plugin?

    I’m really looking for something that integrates cleanly with the API without me having to do it. I come from Postnuke / Zikula development background. I’m doing WordPress because a comic book artist friend of mine wants a WordPress site, and I’d like to give him one. However, the templating engine used by WordPress makes me twitch. It’s convoluted, unclear and the php functionality is vague at best.

    Altho, I do like the simplicity it would be nice to have a templating engine that was clean and allowed for templates that look like HTML / CSS rather than some bastardized php-on-crack scripting. Theme Developers shouldn’t have to worry about their PHP syntax, and SMARTY would allow them to stop worrying.

    Anyway, this is half-rant / half-request. Can anyone help me out? I was assuming that someone had already accomplished this, but I’m not finding it.

    Alrighty then…
    The plan they have doesn’t have a sample theme. So that does me no good. I don’t know the WordPress theme code that can / should be used so I’ll be sticking to a plain jane simple WordPress theme and consider it done.

    Then I’ll be sticking my head back in the Zikula pool and seeing where they are now-a-days and trying to shift over there… ugh. WordPress is too convoluted for a simple blog engine in my opinion. Ah well.

    Peace.
