The Pligg default template is yget. A number of other free (open source) and for-purchase templates are available.
Pligg templating uses the
Smarty template engine. Smarty separates application data from presentation. Template files (.tpl) contain presentation mark-up (HTML, CSS), while content data is delivered through Smarty tags, enclosed in curly brackets: { ... }. Smarty also allows presentation logic from within template files, such as including one template in another.
basic description of template set-up
Template creation and major template modification are beyond the scope of this guide. For more information, please see the
Developer guide and the
Pligg forums.
