Hey Guys,

Im a newbie to Smarty but it is FAN-DABI-DOZY! Great job....

So i am really stuck on this. I am building a CMS system and I am planning on using this template engine.

So users will create there own templates in .html format. Now this is all great and works fine.

However, i want to inject my CMS menu and tools on those pages. So in fact the code will basically insert my CMS header into the <head></head> section of there template. And some JS just on top of the </body> element.

Right now i am using a custom tag {$init_portal} but this is not good. I dont want the user to keep adding that on there templates.

Any ideas....

If tried doing something like this .....

Would inheritance work..

Will this include the parent header in the child template when rendered?

e.g.
[code]
parent.tpl

<html>
<head>
Portal Head
</head>
<body>
Portal Body

</body>
</html>

[code]
child.tpl

User template
child.tpl

<html>
<head>
Designer head
</head>
<body>
Designer Head

</body>
</html>

$smarty->display('extend:parent.tpl|child.tpl');

[/code]
