Smarty

[pt2002]

Hello

I have a simple site that is made with some templates:
header.tpl, menu.tpl, content.tpl and footer.tpl.

These templates are included by another template: index.tpl

For each template, Smarty creates a file in templates_c dir and only one cache file (caching=true).

Is there any way to "merge" these templates in only one file ? This way, Smarty would create only one compiled template instead of five files.
In my case, header has always the same content and the only file that changes often is content.tpl that grabs data from a database.

Thank you very much.

why do you care how smarty handles it's compiled-templates internally?
what makes you think that creating 1 file would be better?

if you want only one file to be created you have to use only one source-file. copy the contents of your included templates (header.tpl) etc. literally in your index.tpl so you end up in only one (source-)template. using something like smarty may become pretty useless then, though.

I was just trying to know if it was possible to reduce the number of files written to the disk, keeping the same structure (several template files).

Thank you very much for your answer.
