Smarty Function / Variable list

[stefandunn]

Hi,

 

I'm new to developing on Prestashop and Smarty templating system. The templating system looks relatively simple to grasp in terms of syntax and general coding practices, however I am a bit stumped by where the variables are being declared and which functions are available from Prestashop.

 

I see in the cms.tpl file:

{if isset($cms) && !isset($cms_category)}

Where is the $cms class object being declared? Is this a PHP object, or a Smarty Object? And how can I obtain a full list of available objects and their methods. Is this something that I need to trawl through the module php file for?

 

There seems to be a lack of information on this.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

variables are declared in controllers,

for example, for $cms variable check CmsController.php located in controllers/front/ directory

there is an definition of smarty array template variables.
