Quick rundown of the new Vanilla Smarty Templates

We’ve renamed default.master.php to default.master.tpl. You will notice that this .tpl file uses some custom Smarty tags: adding a custom logo, calling discussions and the panel, displaying the searchbox, etc.

We have put together a bunch of help documents and tutorials on using these new features. Also make sure to check all the new Vanilla Template Tags we’ve added to make things easier.

We will be constantly updating the Help & Support area on VanillaForums.com, so make sure to check it frequently.
