Good night,
I started from one week to use Drupal and now I starting to use smarty, I've a problem.
I need to create a personal theme as this (excuse me for star character used as space to left alignment in figure):
+------------------------------------+
|***********header************|
+-----------------------------------+
|*home menu1 menu2 .... menu n****|
+-----------------------------------+
|***********banner************|
+--------------+---------+----------+
|***********|*******|********|
|**blog post 1*|content*|*content*|
|***********|column 1|*column 2*|
+--------------+--------+-----------+
|***********|*******|********|
|**blog post 2*|content*|*content*|
|***********|column 1|*column 2*|
+--------------+--------+-----------+
|***********|*******|********|
|**blog post...*|content*|*content*|
|***********|column 1|*column 2*|
+--------------+--------+-----------+
|***********|*******|********|
|**blog post N*|content*|*content*|
|***********|column 1|*column 2*|
+--------------+--------+-----------+
|***********footer************|
+-----------------------------------+
Blog post is N because administrator can define a variable to insert a value of number of blog posts.
I read that in drupal with smarty it's need to define in .info file base theme but I can't find a base theme with two column right for my needs.
I see default theme with right and left column and content post in middle but nothng with two column on right. Do It exist or a solution to create this theme?
Last question: After I installed smarty (2 packet: one downloaded from drupal and other dowloaded from smarty ) in engine I can use it for php page generator to custom view or I need to install it in other directory?
Can somebody help me about thess problems? More important for me is to solve custom theme problem.
Kind Regards

Use the default phptemplate engine
Hardly anyone uses the Smarty theme engine, and it hasn't been updated in more than two years. Use the default phptemplate engine. The majority of documentation and tutorials assume you will be using phptemplate, and there are many downloadable themes that you can use for base themes.
