Smarty

[docstevie]

hi,

i'm about to build a new website using smarty. there's one BIG problem i can't solve by my own (and searching the board didn't help too) that is:

the dir-structure looks like:

- my website
--- smarty
--- templates
--- subdir

when creating smarty-pages from the "my website"-dir, everything works fine, but i need to create smarty-pages from within "subdir" too. i either get the error "Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource..." or - when setting the template_dir to "../templates/" i get an empty page.

the template-path in the smarty.class.php-file is set to "templates".

what can i do to fix that? please help.

thank a lot, stevie.

you can supply a full-path to the template in subdir:
$smarty->display('file:/full/path/to/subdir/foo.tpl');

note: you should prepend "file:" as resource-name before the path.

just a little addition to that:

i tried to set the other dirs (compile_dir, plugins_dir, config_dir) also to the correct paths. now, the page is created, but all the link-paths and picture-paths are wrong.

so i guess the question would be: how can i make smarty think it is located in a different directory? so all the paths are correct again.

thanks, stevie.

thanks for help... i finally solved the problem! was kinda simple html but i also had to add some $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']-vars at some places.
