Smarty should recompile templates if they are changed. Be sure that:

Code:
$smarty->compile_check = true;


which is the default setting.

Also be sure that caching is disabled if you don't want to see the cache every time. If you want cache and compile recreated every time, set:

Code:
$smarty->force_compile = true;


Be sure to disable that before going to production.

I have had a similar problem with updated templates not being displayed. For instance, if I update the footer.tpl file on my site - changing the date to 2009 - the footer isn't displayed once uploaded. I can only resolve the problem by uploading the old file with the old date stamp.

Code:
$smarty->compile_check = true;


is set to 'true' already. I tried

Code:
$smarty->force_compile = true;


but that made no difference. The updated template wasn't displayed. The site is working but I can't update certain sections of it which is a bit limiting. Can you suggest anything else I could try?

Unless you are in a production stage, you should consider compiling templates everytime, to avoid these problems.

If you execute the below codes, it guarantees that all complied files are removed, and Smarty will force itself to recomplie (because there will be nothing to cache).
Code:
# Cleanup Smarty's compiled pages.
$smarty->clear_compiled_tpl();


When you complete your project and move to the production, you can remove this line of code, and enable caching.

Normally
Code:
$smarty->compile_check = true;

which is also the default setting should do the job that updated template get automatically recompiled.

This may fail when you are uploading template files to a server and the system clocks are out of sync.

As mentioned before for such cases
Code:
$smarty->force_compile = true;

could be usefull during development.

Calling
Code:
$smarty->clearCompiledTemplate();

does not make too much sense

I had same issue but all works fine after I specify the $cache_id which I think must be unique to any of your dynamic generated content...

Below is an example of how I display or fetch any dynamic content:
Code:

    if(!$app->isCached('dynamic_page.tpl', $page_unique_id)) {
        // No cache available, do variable assignments here.
        $dynamicObject = new SomeObject();
        $app->assign('dynamicObject', $dynamicObject);
    }

    $app->display('dynamic_page.tpl', $page_unique_id);


...more details about this can be found on the link below:
