I'm trying to send end of year tax letters to donors. I want to customize the letters/emails with their total donation amount for the whole year. I understand I need to activate "smarty" to be able to do this, however, I can't find where this needs to be configured or enabled.
any guidelines would be really appreciated!
Welcome to StackExchnage Aida. Activating smarty is usually done in the file civicrm.settings.php.
However for what you have in mind you may want to take a look at the extension "Summary Fields". It prvides certain information / data such as the total contribution amount in custom contact fields which allows you to easily use them in emails or letters.
