The Main Templates

Let's have another look  at a couple of comments and highlights. Smarty does allow comments in the templates. Anything between {* and *} will be omitted during the compilation phase as in any decent programming language 

main_1.tpl

Save the above as templates/main.tpl.
 
Here you see that we have a template variable called sitetitle that we can set if we wish. We also have a few Smarty comments and finally we have two module definitions. The first one will not work as we have not written it yet so let's comment it out:
	{* cmsmodule name="dynamic_page" *} 

Let's write the sidebar template as well. At this point we will add a couple of module definitions but wisely comment them out as we do not have the modules written yet: When the time comes we will remove the comments, believe me!

sidebar_1.tpl

Save the above to templates/sidebar.tpl.

Now it seems that  we are in the desperate need for a CSS!
