I have set $force_compile in Smarty.class.php to false because this speeds up my site significantly.

However, now my contact form won't work. Most of the time, it show the success message ("Thanks, we've received your message"). When I set $force_compile to true, it works fine.

Is there a way to force compile on certain pages?

You should never have $force_compile true in production, this for debugging purposes only. Be sure you have $compile_check set to true if you are editing template files. Is that the case?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Okay, this was a mistake I just recently noticed. $compile_check is set to true, but this doesn't seem to affect the contact form problem.

Caching is activatet in Smarty.class.php, but I have deactivated caching in the submit.php file (which I use for the contact form).

Any ideas?

with caching disabled completely does it work? what does the form template look like? the php code part?

Aha! I was just about to post the submit.php file when I figured out that I hadn't disabled caching completely after all.

I had this line of code in the start of the document:

if (!$tpl->is_cached(DEF_TEMPLATE . '/index.tpl')) {

All I checked the first time was that this was set to "0":

$tpl->caching = 0;

Thanks for the help! I'm always learning something when using Smarty. Smile
