Re: [SMARTY] Dreamweaver Users - How do you manage sites?

Honestly, I have not done *that* much with Smarty. The first Smarty- 
based site I was working on a few months ago for work go scrapped  
pretty early on, but looking at the directory structure, it looks  
like I simply left the templates within the site root.  From what I  
remember, it was the only way to get dreamweaver to work correctly.  
Have you tried using symlinks and relative paths in your templates/ 
scripts to trick DW?
