Hi again, <br><br>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.
<br><br>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.<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.
<br><br>I really hope it help, Thank you for your time and attention, and please forgive my English.<br clear="all"><span class="sg"><br></span><br><br>

frank@thyamad.com</a>>:<br>> First of all, this is my first post in this list so, Congratulations vtiger<br>> is a excellent project.<br>> Second, we are Brazilians, and we have some special needs to implement in
<br>> Vtiger, some about legislation and some about each client requests. I've<br>> been working with vtiger last week to accomplish some of those needs and end<br>> up for create a new template/themes structure.
<br>><br>> In few words I did a smarty.config.php modification to point the templates<br>> files to a dir structure which is very similar to the theme structure. In<br>> few words if you want to create a new template struture for a special theme
<br>> all you need to do is create a directory under smarty/template with the same<br>> name of your theme. As my English is so bad, I Will try to explain better.<br>><br>> I have company called thyamad, so I did a theme also called thyamad and did
<br>> all my theme's modifications there. However thyamad needs some special<br>> template modifications new functionalities etc, then I create a directory<br>> in smarty/template/thyamad copied all files from smarty/template to this new
<br>> directory and now all modifications in Thyamad template will only change<br>> thyamad functionalities. By the way, I removed all files from<br>> smarty/templates to smarty/templates/default so I have no files on
<br>> smarty/templates and there is a default directory where all default template<br>> files are. I tested this structure against all themes in version 5.0.3 and<br>> it worked well.<br>><br>> As I did not followed this project since its begin I am wondering if such
<br>> theme/template structure is useful for someone else or not and if I am did<br>> it correctly.<br>><br>> Thank you very much for your time and attention. Of course all comments will<br>> be really very welcome.
