You'll have to list the environment and versions you are using for people to understand your environment before they can answer.

The problem line appears to be in Smarty_Compiler.class.php:1203 in function _compile_foreach_start - where the code:

I've cleared it out - but it might be worth using some kind of wiki spam checker.

You'd probably end up creating a number of complex problems using JS to 'bolt on' functionality - not to mention the long term maintainence problems you'd create.

Don't worry - those strangly names files are supposed to be there. The templates_c is the directory containing the compiled smarty templates. A good overview is here (information about compiling can ...

If you drop this around the problem area of your code - it might help diagnose the problem:

// assuming you've already assigned your smarty object
$directories = $smarty->secure_dir;
