[Vtigercrm-developers] Template/themes small modifications

[Frank Alcantara]

Hi again,

The modification is really simple, attached is the new smarty.setup.php, it
will work in 5.0.3 + patch, all what is needed is copy all content of
Smarty/templates to Smarty/templates/default and after that you can start
creating directories for your templates.

Just to be clear, I used the theme as control to keep the same vtiger
structure, So you will be able to create new functionalities for
theme/template pair.

In my humble-nobody-asked-for opinion it should be enough to include new
functionalities without brake the great original code and without bore the
developers team.

I hope some of you could test and send some opinions, critics or lessons
about how can I do it correctly.  Also in my humble-nobody-asked for opinion
a many-to-many relationship between templates and themes is not necessary.

I really hope it help, Thank you for your time and attention, and please
forgive my English.
