Can I remove Smarty from Pixaria?
The simple answer to this is that you can’t. The longer answer is that it’s not possible to remove Smarty from Pixaria because of the way that the script is written, by completely separating application logic from layout and design. The resoning behind using Smarty as a foundation for building Pixaria was to enable users to make changes to the design more easily by keeping PHP separate from HTML and CSS. This also has the added benefit of making development of the script much simpler for me as the author which means faster, better upgrades!
