Developer manual: Creating new theme
Themes would be located in folder in /templates/ folder. Name of such folder will
became a name of theme in admin area(see Settings->Site->Theme). Smarty templates of
the theme would be located in /templates/<Theme name>/tpl folder. Other files
such as images, styles, flash, scripts etc would be located in
/templates/<Theme name>/. Addresses of these files would be written in templates
as
templates/{$options.theme|escape:'url'}/<file name>
Each PHP file at front-side define 2 variables: $maintemplate and $tpl.
$maintemplate points which container template would be used (it's "template.tpl"
everywhere now)
$tpl is a name of template file that would be used to generate content part of
the page. Template with name $tpl.".tpl" will be included to container template.
These variables allow you to have few completely different designs for any kind
of pages. For example, if you'll replace line
$maintemplate="template.tpl";
in index.php to
$maintemplate=($_GET['id']=='1')?"main_page.tpl":"template.tpl";
you'll use main_page.tpl as a container template for home page.
Here is example that produce different content layout for menues that allow to
order from the list and no:
if(empty($m["list_order"])) {
$tpl="dish_list";
} else {
$tpl="dish_list_order";
}
