I love smarty templates so much. We can write simple templates to complex templates very easy in smarty.

Simple Templates

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1. {$username}
  2. {if $username}
  3. {$username}
  4. {/if}

Complex Templates

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1. {foreach from=$arr_pfacility item=pfacility_text key=pfacility_id}
  3. {assign var="id_selected" value=false}
  4. {foreach from=$smarty.post.fp_pfacility item=sel_item}
  5. {if $sel_item==$pfacility_id}
  6. {assign var="id_selected" value=true}
  7. {/if}
  8. {/foreach}
  9. <td width="10">
  10. {if $id_selected}
  11. <input type="checkbox" name="fp_pfacility[]" value="{$pfacility_id}" checked>
  12. {else}
  13. <input type="checkbox" name="fp_pfacility[]" value="{$pfacility_id}">
  14. {/if}
  15. </td>
  16. <td>{$pfacility_text.name}</td>
  17. </tr>
  18. {/foreach}

I am working on to load smarty as a plugin to wordpress. if someone interested in making the templates for their blog admin plugins they can do :-D
