Changes are simple but made a lot more flexiblity in the script and in what we where trying to accomplish the use of the routes helped make the url short and sweet and search engine friendly.

It also Bypasses the views directory and goes straight to the smarty directory where all templates are stored. So we don't need to echo the rendered object it is displayed automatically when everything is done right.

I hope this helps anyone that likes the flexibility of smarty if you find a better way of doing this and want to share drop me a line.
