How to get Smarty Template Highlighting in Zend Studio 9?

Question

I am trying to find a way to get smarty templates, .tpl files, to work with Zend Studio 9. The smartypdt plugin fails to install on Mac OS, and all the other File Associations--I have tried PHP Editor and HTML as associated editor--fail, too. This time stating: "Unsupported content type in editor". So all I am left with is a plain text mode.

How do I get basic template highlighting? I do not necessarily want smarty support anymore, just basic HTML and JavaScript highlighting would be enough.

Answer 1

On the File Associations Panel, there is a link to Content Types. There, I have added *.tpl file to the HTML view node. This ensures basic html highlighting and goes a long way when compared to the plain text mode.
