Smarty

smarty n00b here. i need some help trying to figure out how to include a recordset into multiple templates.

i have a php script which queries a db and outputs the results into a template named mod_citylist.tpl. this works fine. i can access this file via the broswer and see the results. the problem is when i try to include mod_citylist.tpl into other templates which need the same data. i get the following errors:

Notice: Undefined index: results in C:\Users\dev\workspace\templates_c\ea66ce8811d4c8679cbd06944e2437ef9a7a8e76.file.mod_citylist.tpl.php on line 30

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\Users\dev\workspace\templates_c\ea66ce8811d4c8679cbd06944e2437ef9a7a8e76.file.mod_citylist.tpl.php on line 30

i am not sure if i am approaching my design in the right manner or how to fix the problem. any ideas?

If you include mod_citylist.tpl into other templates you must also query the db and assign the result.

if i need to access this results set from other templates throughout the site, should i implement it as a plugin?
