I have a layout template (below is an example but much less complex).

Code:

<body>
<header>
<nav></nav>
</header>
<div class="main">
<div class="left">
{include file=$content.left}
</div>
<div class="right">
{include file=$content.right}
</div>
</div>
<footer></footer>
{include file=$js_scripts}
</body>

The folder structure lets me have the layout file and then folders for the content. The problem with this is I need multiple template pages and once the content requires some inline code it will change. There are also pages that might not require the js_scripts which will result in a smarty error.

Code:

views/layout
layout_1.tpl
layout_2.tpl

views/pages/mypage
left_content.tpl
right_content.tpl
js_scripts.tpl

Is it possible to extract content from a page and assign it to a variable instead of including a file which may not even be needed. Im thinking something along the lines of this which will leave me with one page and the content together in once place

Layout.tpl

Code:

<body>
<header>
<nav></nav>
</header>
<div class="main">
<div class="left">
{$content.left}
</div>
<div class="right">
{$content.right}
</div>
</div>
<footer></footer>
{$js_scripts}
</body>

mypage.tpl

Code:

{extract variable $content.left}
<h1>Title</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptatem, tempore, quae, cum, consequatur quisquam totam facilis illo blanditiis porro in quidem repudiandae necessitatibus dolores eius quam sequi labore impedit id.</p>
{/extract}

{extract variable $content.right}
<ul>
<li>Link 1</li>
<li>Link 2</li>
<li>Link 3</li>
</ul>
{/extract}

{extract variable $js_scripts}
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#id').click(function(){
// run code
});
});
</script>
{/extract}

It looks like a typical use case of template inheritance. See http://www.smarty.net/inheritance
