[SMARTY-GENERAL] MOre about Form Plugin

It doesnt save the field values. Every time template is open, it is processed and the script get the steps. If the script wants, it will get the values of some step. I tryed to make Form Plugin modular like the plugins architeture. To save the fields, we need save at a BD or a file and add a ID field to the form. I can do, but, who will use? Will eat some computer aditional processment. What about add a plugin variable inside Form Plugin that tell you the current status and if you have sucess or not? Something like: global $smarty_form; print $smarty_form->step; print $smarty_form->sucess; So you can track if you want do something. Maybe whe can load the class inside $smarty. Something like: $smarty->form->step and $smarty->form->sucess; What you thing about all these things?
