An update:
In light of being featured on the Smarty page I got off my butt and updated the library. The one thing I hate about libraries is having to use propriety library names, so now to load views utilising this Smarty library you load them like you would normally via $this->load->view(); and it now supports returning the template data or displaying it.
Keep in mind that in the package I am using a MY_Loader to extend the view functionality, so if you are using Modular CI or Modular Extensions you might want to copy and paste the code into your file yourself or it could overwrite that functionality.
