The following publication, “Guide to Using Smarty for WordPress Plugin” available on 
Amazon at (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K5XTPL2) or Barnes & Noble (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/guide-to-the-smarty-for-wordpress-plugin-patrick-ingle/1123770360?ean=2940158127281) shows how to implement this framework plugin 
in your wordpress blog.
Usage
First you need to create your Smarty directories under the theme path that you will be 
using, e.g.
themes/theme_name/templates 
themes/theme_name/templates_c 
themes/theme_name/cache 
themes/theme_name/config
If you wish to turn off WordPress themes by changing the constant WP_USE_THEMES to false, you also need to 
set the constant SMARTY_PATH in your wp-config file to the path containing your Smarty files. In addition, you 
need to specify your Smarty Loader file. This file is your index.php replacement for the Smarty templates and 
obtain a copy of the smarty instance, make any necessary assignments and load your initial templates. The difference 
between this implementation and smarty-only, is you have the full wordpress codex at your dispoable from 
your Smarty routines.
You may use Smarty for WordPress either in you PHP/Theme files or from your WordPress posts 
and pages. To use the API, simple invoke the function that returns the page 
information requested. There are three API’s for this purpose:
If you wish to use Smarty in your custom worpress php files, then
<ol>
<li>Invoke the smarty_get_instance() function to get an instance of the Smarty class 
with the directories preset to your current theme.</li>
<li>The simply use the Smarty class members as you would normally use, e.g $mySmarty->assign(‘name’,’value’); 
to assign a template variable with a value.</li>
</ol>
You can also invoke the API’s from your WordPress pages/posts through short codes.
Create a WordPress page and enter the following short code:
<pre><code>[smarty-display tpl=home.tpl] 

where home.tpl is your smarty template located in the templates path
</code></pre>
If you want to pass a single variable with the template, use
<pre><code>[smarty-display tpl=home.tpl name=myVariable value="some value"] 

where name is the variable name specified in you smarty template file, and
value is the value to be passed to your smarty template file that the above
variable represents
</code></pre>
if you want to pass multiple variables to the smarty template, use
<pre><code>[smarty-load-multiple tpl=home.tpl name='my1,my2,my3' value='1,2,test']

where name holds a comma delimited list of smarty template variable names while
value holds a comma delimited list of associated values for the variable names.
</code></pre>
The admin page under Settings permits setting the following Smarty attributes: 
– SmartyBC, for enabling backward compatibility 
– Auto literal 
– Cache lifetime 
– Cache modified check 
– Config booleanized 
– Config overwrite 
– Config read hidden 
– Debugging 
– Force compile 
– PHP handling 
– Use sub-directories
