|
|
Hi,
Is there a way to reliably assign variables during template rendering (fetch or display)? Observation is that once fetch() begins, $smarty->assign() is no longer effective, only $_smarty_tpl->assign() works.
It may sound weird at first. Why would one want to do that? Here is my scenario.
I've implemented a fragment caching framework with smarty integration.
Code: |
{{mycache_begin id="cache_id" callback="provide_data_function"}}
{{$expensive_data}}
{{mycache_end}}
|
mycache_begin and mycache_end are implemented as compiler functions. The idea is that when the cache isn't available, the callback is invoked to assign needed template variables.
It worked well in Smarty 3.0 RC2. But in 3.1.7, it turns out that inside the callback $this->smarty->assign(...) isn't effective. The variables assigned in the callback can't be used for rendering though they confusingly show up in the debug console.
A work around is to assign using $_smarty_tpl, which can be exposed to the callback by the compiler function.
In 3.1.7, $_smarty_tpl is an instance of Smarty_Internal_Template.
Is it reliable to assign using $_smarty_tpl?
Thanks!

Yes, in compiler functions you must use $_smarty_tpl->assign().
For speed optimizations Smarty 3.1 does copy the variables assigned to the Smarty object into the scope of the template object when the template is invoked. If you add variables to the Smarty object from within the template these are no longer seen by the template. |
