Dear Developer,

I think this behavior changes in recent Smarty version via it is working in some previous beta version.

I used to be able to define {function .... scope=global} only once in the top area of .tpl file and it is callable anywhere in later .tpl (even if called under by {include file=} )

But now the behavior is changed? Could you make this possible again?.. So I don't need to include content from my global Smarty {function} file all over any templates again and again..

Regards,
Vorapoap L.

!. The {function } tag does not have a special scope parameter. What you did with {function .... scope=global} was jsut to assign the string 'global' to a variable with name 'scope'.

2. Once the {function} is declared it can beused also from subtemplates. But as subtemplates could be compiled independent from the main template you must use the {call...} tag to call the function from a subtemplate.

See the note here http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.function.tpl and here[url] http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.call.tpl[/url]
