Hi All,

I am about to start a project using Zend framework and Smarty. My clients wants to use some CMS for development of static pages.

My question is, Can I use any third party tool such as any CMS with Smarty.
So that now my Smarty template will contain some block which will be coming from a CMS ?

Thanks in advance, Any help will be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

What type of CMS that you are going to use, if you using other CMS then what if the purpose of using SMARTY here. Best follow one

Smarty should be integratable with any CMS to handle the presentation layer. The difficulty will largely depend on the CMS itself. (Smarty is not a CMS, it is just a template engine.)

it just depends how easy/hard they make it to integrate the view layer. some cms are very flexible/extendible, some are not.
