I want to edit the PHP and Smarty Template in an external editor (syntax highlighting!). What files would I directly edit and how can I manually invoke the Smarty compile?

Hmm,
I believe this is actually simpler than you think.
There's no need to compile anything by yourself. When you save the code or the template through the GUI, TikiWiki will compile everything for you.
All you need to do is 1)create your code with editor of your choice, 2)copy the code to the clipboard, and 3)paste it into the textarea in the GUI. Save, and it's ready to run.
I use SciTE. It has syntax highlighting, auto-indenting, supports multiple files with tabs, supports MANY MANY languages etc. It looks like hell when you first install it, but after you configure it it's simply SWEET. I can send my configuration file to you if you want. Regards,
