I was producing a very dynamic output, to allow using non-trusted template files (which may have been defined in the database or somewhere).

Instead of going into errors, I needed to make a trick. I needed to check the validity of a dynamic template name, before I can use it in my application.

Hence, I wrote a small modifier plugin to validate. Later, I used it in the template file. I hope, everything is clear within the code below. Usage example is in the comment.

Code:
<?php
/**
* Checks the presense of a template.
* Usage example:
* {if $page.include_file|valid_template}{include file=$page.include_file}{/if}
*/
function smarty_modifier_valid_template($template_name='')
{
   # $smarty is a general assumtion of Smarty variable.
   global $smarty;
   return($smarty->template_exists($template_name));
}
?>

Please do not take anything too seriously.

Simply: replace $page.include_file with your own variable.
That solves everyting out.

Here are some more usage examples:

* {if $page.include_file|valid_template}{include file=$page.include_file}{/if}
* {if $template_file|valid_template}{include file=$template_file}{/if}
* {if 'profile.tpl'|valid_template}{include file='profile.tpl'}{/if}
