The basic tpl files in pligg sort of create a standardization in the use of templates
So as pligg develops further in the future, template designers can simply follow the standard method, and no tinkering around.

now if you wanted to use foot.tpl
you could simply open up body.tpl
and change

{include file="$tpl_footer.tpl"}

to

{include file="foot.tpl"}

and you could do this with the whole template. simply hardcode with the filenames you feel fit. and you do not have to define them anywhere else.
It should work alright.

Another way is to add some php code into the .tpl file. But i don't think you want something that does that.


hope this has helped
