Not being particularly familiar with Smarty, I was using what I found in the existing code, which is primarily IF and FOREACH.

I will look more closely at it, but my impression is that it expects the
Controller part of the MVC stack to be doing most of the heavy lifting,
which means that either there is a single value being displayed, or
some kind of collection ( array ) of data that is being shown in a table
or other display form.
