Smarty

[pitbull82]

Hello

I suppose that I found a bug. It's hard to say it in one word so I prepared very simple project to test and analyse - you may download it from http://www.mnabialek.pl/download/testsmarty.zip

into libs folder you have to upload content of Smarty libs folder.

In my opinion intended result is generating "testmenu" on output but:

a) when using Smarty 3.0.7 I get notice that variable is not set
b) when using Smarty 3.0.0 I get blank page
c) when using Smarty 2.6.26 I get "testmenu" on output - that's correct behaviour in my opinion

The strangest thing is that when in Menu.php file you change

This is not a bug but result of the extended scoping of Smarty 3.

Your assign in method generate() of the Menu class will assign the variable 'menue' in the local scope of the template index.

Your $this->page->get('menu.tpl') does use the Smarty object as root for known variables. For that reasion it does not see the variable 'menu'.

$this->page->fetch('menu.tpl') does call fetch in the context of the template object $page (of index.tpl) and for that reasion does see 'menu'.

Simplest solution is to assign 'menu' in global scope

Thanks. Ok, I understand now it's not a bug. So in that case wouldn't be useful to add also appendGlobal method ?
