Smarty

[TirednBurntOut]

Am using SmartJobBoard software.

Get this message when trying to use get_template _vars , either for a variable I know to exist, or to get all variables.

"Call to a member function get_template_vars() on a non-object"

Simple Test Case?

[TirednBurntOut]

Not sure what you are asking? I have poked and prodded quite a bit. In this SmartJobBoard package, the authors call get_template_vars twice, so I presume its "there".

I did find a function in the Smarty.class.php that starts with:

function &get_template_vars($name=null)

Note the ampersand. I presume they are modifying the built-in function.

But I am lost as to why I cant call get_template_vars

I'm asking for a simple test case demonstrating your issue. Noone going to google for "this SmartJobBoard", even less - install it and try to reproduce your problem.

That's what I thought you meant. But this software is so convoluted, there is no way to strip it down. Quite unbelievable code. Sorry I bought the software.

In any case, I am pondering ways to test the funciton outside the software package. Looking for any way to isolate the problem. I am not familiar with smarty. Can you suggest a minimal install/configuration?

Thanks in any case.

If you've paid for it, it should have at least some form of support.
At least, that's what I would normally expect for paid work.

function &get_template_vars($name=null) is a method of the Smarty class in Smarty2.

You must have called this method on a variable which is not the Smarty instance.

Provide the piece of code where you called it.

To me it looks like that the variable $smarty did not exist.

Maybe they used another variable name for the Smarty object.

Or it does not exist in the scope you're trying to address it from.
