Smarty

[wantho]

From a blog I found on the web I managed to install Smarty basic setup, it works fine.
I now wish to progress and setup using the 'extended setup'. Code from the same source.

<?php
//load Smarty library
require('Smarty.class.php');

//The setup.php file is a good place to load
//required application library files,
//and you can do that right here. An example:
//require('guestbook/guestbook.lib.php');


class Smarty_GuestBook extends Smarty{
function Smarty_GuestBook(){

//Class Constructer.
//These automatically get set with each new instance.

$path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
$this->Smarty();
$this->template_dir=$path.'guestbook/templates/';
$this->compile_dir =$path.'guestbook/templates_c/';
$this->config_dir =$path.'guestbook/configs/';
$this->cache_dir =$path.'guestbook/cache/';

$this->caching=true;
$this->assign('app_name','Guest Book');
}
}
?>

And here is the subsequent error, I think the error might be down to a difference in the Smarty version I have 3.1.0 and the version used in the blog.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'Call of unknown function 'Smarty'.' in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\Smarty\libs\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatebase.php:692 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->__call('Smarty', Array) #1 C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\includes\guestbook\setup.php(1: Smarty_GuestBook->Smarty() #2 C:\wamp\www\guestbook\index.php(4): Smarty_GuestBook->Smarty_GuestBook() #3 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\Smarty\libs\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 692

Also should I have used the 'libs\Smarty-v.e.r\" when I installed Smarty?

Wherever you got the code from, it needs to be changed.

Change this:

$this->Smarty();

to

parent::__construct();

also, see

http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/installing.smarty.extended.tpl


notice the code to set the directories looks like this:

$this->setTemplateDir('/web/www.example.com/guestbook/templates/');
$this->setCompileDir('/web/www.example.com/guestbook/templates_c/');
$this->setConfigDir('/web/www.example.com/guestbook/configs/');
$this->setCacheDir('/web/www.example.com/guestbook/cache/');

Hello Doug.

I followed you suggestions but before I ran it I took a chance and made one or two alterations, here's what I ended up with and it ran first time, I was more than pleased.

<?php
//load Smarty library
require('Smarty.class.php');

//The setup.php file is a good place to load
//required application library files,
//and you can do that right here. An example:
//require('guestbook/guestbook.lib.php');


class Smarty_GuestBook extends Smarty{

function __construct()
{
$path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];

// Class Constructor.
// These automatically get set with each new instance.

parent::__construct();
$this->setTemplateDir($path.'/guestbook/templates/');
$this->setCompileDir($path.'/guestbook/templates_c/');
$this->setConfigDir($path.'/guestbook/configs/');
$this->setCacheDir($path.'/guestbook/cache/');

$this->caching = Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT;
$this->assign('app_name', 'Guest Book');
}

}
?>
