I'm using Drupal's buildForm hook to add many element groups to a QuickForm at once.  How do I access it in my template override?  I haven't been able to find much in the way of how Smarty interacts with QuickForm.

I tried this in my template override:
      {section name=advFieldLoop start=1 loop=20}
          {assign var=idx value=$smarty.section.advFieldLoop.index}
          {$form.field_$i.html}
      {/section}
The code above produced no output.  Clearly there's something I don't understand about this.  The code I'm using to add the element groups is below:

function mymodule_civicrm_buildForm($formName, &$form) {
    if ($formName == 'CRM_Event_Form_ManageEvent_Fee') {
       for ($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++) {
           $field[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text','Name','name');
           $field[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text','Machine Value','value');
           $field[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox','Is a filter?','filter','Is filter?');
           $form->addGroup($field,'field_' . $i,'Field ' . $i,' ');
       }
    }
}

Thanks.
