The Bakery Everything CakePHP

The SmartyView package sits here:
http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=6 But without some significant baking-knowledge, new users may not know how to incorporte SmartyView.
Here's how.

Direct SmartyView (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/124) usage in Cake has some limitations, the SmartyHelpers are here to help you out.

This expands on the Smarty View code from Version 1.1. While its only a beginning, I am hoping someone else will pick up from what we had in version 1.1

The official cakePHP Blog tutorial converted to use smarty. I hope this would help people quickly setup smarty and have an example to refer to for cakePHP + smarty.

I assume you've already done the blog tutorial at http://manual.cakephp.org/view/219/the-cakephp-blog-tutorial

This is based on "How to use SmartyHelpers with SmartyView" http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/how-to-use-smartyhelpers-with-smartyview.

I wanted a more generic SmartyHelper, that would not depend on the Helper it is supposed to make available to Smarty so I reworked one of the SmartyHelpers (they are all the same, except for the Helper they instanciate) to work for all Helpers loaded in the current View.
