Extending the functionality of an online store

Thanks to use of the Smarty templates processing engine in the source code of WebAsyst Shop-Script, owners of open-source licenses have the possibility to extend the functionality of their online stores using plugins. Detailed information on programming Smarty plugins is available on the official Smarty website at http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/plugins.php.

To use Smarty plugins in frontend templates of WebAsyst Shop-Script, save their files in directory kernel/includes/smarty/plugins/. Plugin tags can then be added to template files listed in the article about manual design editing and in the advanced mode of the built-in design editor.
