Hello there,

I'm in the process of building a module-based website, with each module living in it's own subdir, together with it's templates and everything.

For instance, for module Foo, it's directory would be 'mods/foo/', with it's template in 'mods/foo/templates/'.

How can I tell Smarty to look for that template in that dir? I have the module dir in a var, relative from the site's root directory.

Someone else may have a better idea but to get you started:

i) you can register your mods directory as your template dir. Then your mods would call templates via sth like "foo/templates/blah.tpl".

ii) you can create a custom resource which encodes your path characteristics allowing you to call your templates with a prescribed syntax, eg: "mod:foo/blah.tpl". The resource would then map this request to the appropriate location.

Thanks, I eventually got it working, but I ran into some new problems... See http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?p=4708#4708.
