I need to install smarty. At http://drupal.org/node/27566 I see two paths:
/path/to/drupal/themes/engines/smarty/ and /path/to/drupal/themes/engine/smarty/libs.
Are they right?
Where can I find themes for drupal6 and smarty?
Themes for drupal 4.7 fit? For example, Box_grey_smarty (http://drupal.org/node/13811)

If you must ... put Smarty in /path/to/drupal/themes/engines/smarty/

I don't know of any D6 themes that use Smarty .... most people seem to have standardized on the PHPTemplate engine.

As far as I can tell ... nobody released or updated a Smarty based Drupal theme in a number of years.

You can't use D4.7 themes with D5 or D6 ... not without updating theme yourself (I doubt anyone else cares about Smarty anymore).

My big question to you .... WHY do you "need" Smarty?

Because the client wants engine with an easy syntax, without the php tags.
At Smarty project page we can download the release for D6, 2007.
But nothing is said about the themes for this version

OK ... I understand "client requirements" (all too well) ... have you explained to them the "neat" separation of content from display in Drupal?

Are they aware that Theming in Drupal is quite different to managing content?

I just don't see the need for clients to mess with the theme ... give them another way to tweak appearance ... that doesn't require FTPing files to the server .. something they can do in the browser.
