Smarty

Hello! I've got my server set up like so (on linux):

drwxr-xr-x 2 www-admin www-data 4096 2007-01-22 10:25 cache
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-admin www-data 4096 2007-01-22 10:25 configs
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-admin www-data 4096 2010-05-14 15:29 templates
drwxrwxr-x 2 www-admin www-data 4096 2010-05-14 15:29 templates_c


I want the file permissions like this, apache runs as www-data. Only www-admin can write files, and I selectively apply write perms to www-data as necessary. The problem is that smarty is outputting templates like this:

ls -l templates_c

-rwxr--r-- 1 www-admin www-data 123 2008-06-18 10:15 %%0E^0E4^0E407559%%footer.tpl.php
-rwxr--r-- 1 www-admin www-data 4292 2008-08-12 17:02 %%41^416^416864CF%%help.tpl.php
-rwxr--r-- 1 www-admin www-data 13780 2009-09-22 11:15 %%45^45E^45E480CD%%index.tpl.php
-rwxr--r-- 1 www-admin www-data 2139 2008-08-06 10:02 %%51^510^510D3403%%testing-index.tpl.php
-rwxr--r-- 1 www-admin www-data 4767 2008-09-17 15:42 %%F7^F7F^F7F34188%%header.tpl.php

And thusly, when I edit one of my templates, smarty is unable to recompile it and overwrite the old compiled template.

Is there any way to configure smarty to set the compiled templates to be group-writable?

While I'm here I have to say smarty is an amazing product, NICE WORK!!!!!!!

well i do understand that and the 'templates_c' directory is already chmodded that way but the individual ".tpl.php" files within that directory are being created by smarty as "-rwxr--r--" . I'd prefer that they get written as "-rwxrw-r--", because they way it is now I have to manually delete the compiled templates when I change a template.

gotcha. Smarty has these properties on its class:
