[Guest Denver Dave]

OK, I guess I'll break down and ask. Where are the template macros defined? {xxxx}

Well crap, that was exactly the reason why I was here at the forums, and I got all excited and anxious when I saw this post...

But alas, nobody has responded.

I'll be watching this post to see if anything comes up.

Look in your skins/styleTemplates folder :errm:

The "macros" (not my choice of a name) are handled in the various PHP files through the XTemplate class.

I'm not sure if that's the answer you're looking for, but it's correct.

example in layman's terms (because I don't know much about php yet):

{CATEGORIES} which appears in global/index.tpl template would be assigned in the store's root index.php file, here:

	include("includes/boxes/categories.inc.php");

	$body->assign("CATEGORIES",$box_content);

Then, the variables (macros) that are used inside the boxes/categories.tpl template, {LANG_CATEGORY_TITLE}, {DATA.cat_id}, {DATA.cat_name}, {LANG_SALE_ITEMS}, are all assigned to that template by includes/boxes/categories.inc.php, as here:

$box_content->assign("LANG_CATEGORY_TITLE",$lang['front']['boxes']['shop_by_cat']);



	$box_content->assign("LANG_HOME",$lang['front']['boxes']['homepage']);

etc., etc., etc. :errm:
