Smarty

[bobbonew]

I have two templates with each having their own variables (but not named the same). So how come I can't do this?

$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->assign('access_to', $access_to);

$smarty->display('index.tpl');



$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->assign('site_administration_nav', $site_administration_nav);

$smarty->display('main_body.tpl');



And this code is from my index.php page hehe. What i'm trying to do is first have the template that doesn't change (navigation template) and then have the body (dynamic) template come after that.

No need to create multiple instances of $smarty. If you remove the second "$smarty = new Smarty;" it should work fine. On the other hand, what you probably want is something like this:
[php:1:758e24eeba]<?php
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('access_to', $access_to);
$smarty->assign('site_administration_nav', $site_administration_nav);
$smarty->display('main.tpl');
?>[/php:1:758e24eeba]
main.tpl

Nah I dont like that method, it'll be the index.php determining what tpl to be included into the navigation tpl.

I did this code

[php:1:e002d02578]<?php
$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->assign('access_to', $access_to);

$smarty->display('index.tpl');

$smarty->assign('site_administration_nav', $site_administration_nav);

$smarty->display('main_body.tpl');
?>[/php:1:e002d02578]
And got this error

Please help? It shouldn't be a major problem.

Well it sure looks like you don't have your configuration setup properly. Check again.

I'm not sure why you didn't like my last suggestion. Indeed, it is index.php which is deciding which templates to include, but the actual inclusion is done dynamically by the template.

Anyways, good luck.
