Hi y'all,
I got frustrated by this 
| Quote: | Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "index.html"
in /my/scriptbase/include/lib/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1042 |
"index.html" is supposed to be {included}ed from one of the directories in $secure_dir. The manuals states:
| Quote: | | $secure_dir This is an array of all local directories that are considered secure. {include} and {fetch} use this when security is enabled. |
Being one of the few humans on this planet, that fo RTFM, this sentence means to me that I only need to provide the filename, no path, and that Smarty will "look" in all directories to find the file. I also found a matching loop in the code, that checks for the file, but for some reason this:
{include file='index.html'}
does not work. At least I get the filename, and not the usual "unknow function ()" nonsense.
Although Smarty "insists" it cannot load the file, this little "hoock" I added into the parse_template function to write some global array with all files that come along (so I can find out ehat unknow function is), proof something else: This spy-array contains the "index.html" file at the correct position of my template-chain: | Code: | [page_default.phtml] => /some-cache-path/page_default.phtml.php
[meta.phtml] => /some-cache-path/meta.phtml.php
[styles.phtml] => /some-cache-path/styles.phtml.php
[scripts.phtml] => /some-cache-path/scripts.phtml.php
[banner.phtml] => /some-cache-pathbanner.phtml.php
[navtop.phtml] => /some-cache-path/navtop.phtml.php
[navleft.phtml] => /some-cache-path/navleft.phtml.php
[B][index.html] => /some-cache-path/index.html.php [/B]
[footer.phtml] => /some-cache-path/footer.phtml.php |
After a while I did provide the full qualified path to 'index.html', and it worked.
WHY?
Can someone please explain this odd behavior or is it another annoying thing with the manual?
Thanx,
CirTap |

no, smarty uses the same mechanism to find a file regardless of the security-settings. but with $security=true it is additionally checked if the directory where the file is in is also in the $secure_dir-array. |

re messju,
(ich blix immer noch nich, sorry <g>)
so does this mean, that despite I tell Smarty that my "content directory" is "secure" and therefor available in $secure_dir, I still have to use
'file:/some/path/considered/secure/but/who/cares/index.html'
with {include} ?
I don't want PHP to "passthru" every dump .html file just to have it assigned to a Smarty var, that'd be total nonsense especially that Smarty has all the routines built in to do this. I also don't see the "need" to use fetch(), which would be the same.
The people writing the content can save their 'static' files in a separate folder, which is at someplace outside the docroot and outside $template_dir. Nevertheless, they have a list of "common" Smarty vars and blocks they can put in their files, so the 'static' content files are by means templates, and get cached, which is what I want, but I cannot put the in THE $template_dir.
In case I missed some setting, any idea how I can make it look in my content_path, too? -- or do I really have to do this:
$Page->assign('Content', $Page->fetch('/pages/de/index.html') );
t.i.a. 4 any ideas.

simple: yes.
less simple: smarty is designed to have *one* template_dir. the template_dir can have many subdirectories but there is still one root. if you want to {include} from other places and don't want to specify the full path everytime, you can consider writing a simple custom-plugin that fetches and returns the template-contents (see: http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/plugins.functions.php ) or write a custom resource that does the job (see: http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/templates.from.elsewhere.php ).

hmm... didn't thought of another "ressource type", but for the moment I don't want to mess around with expirationtimes and stuff.
I guess I can have a more simple workaround using subdirectories:
| Code: | /templates/ the "system templates"
/templates/pages/ "new" FTP-home for content writers
|
so all I have to do is change the "content files path" in my prepend file.
I can live with that 
Thanx a lot messju, for the "inspiration" 
Have fun,
CirTap
UPDATE: it worked
It took me a ~ 30 minutes to fix (and find) all "path dependancies" and make some changes to the main script. |
