Smarty

[fl3x7]

Hello,

Having a bit of a problem. Trying to assign a template variable within a smarty 3 template file but it doesnt seem to register it.

I know I can use this in the controller:

$this->data['myVar'] = 'something';

But dont want to use that. I have tried this:

{assign var="myVar" value="something" noache}

But for some reason it just doesnt seem to work.

The template this is being used in is extending another template.

I have tried setting the variable scope to global.

The other weird thing is even if i try and assign a variable which is then just being outputted just below (in the same template file), it still returns empty as if the assign method is not doing anything at all. No errors though.

I am using smarty in conjunction with code igniter if that helps

Hope someone can shed some light,

Thanks for reading.

I ended up just using {block}{/block} for this as I was extending templates anyway.

Hope this helps someone else.
