Smarty Templating Guide
Love Factory uses the powerful Smarty engine for templating. Bellow you have a list with all the template files currently used in Love Factory (version 2.x.x) along with the variables you will find in these template files. Please note that files and code may change between versions.
By default Love Factory has Smarty templates enabled. For older versions, to enable go to the Joomla Admin-Components/Love Factory/Settings/General and under "Smarty" set Use Smarty templates to "Yes". Otherwise any changes you make to the .tpl files will not be used as the system is using the .php files.
The file containing "$settings" can be found in Joomla folder\administrator\components\com_lovefactory\settings.php
