Sorry if i`m posting on the wrong list.

 i have used joomla and prestashop open source application and enjoy
the way modules are position, prestashop uses HOOK to position modules
inside the template while in joomla you define position name and place
the module inside the position, in my own case, i just need the theory
behind it. i can code it but i need the theory or some idea where to
start from.

i`m planning to use smarty as my template engine.
