Hope this is the right section to post.

I have a project which is based on Smarty and has been added to SVN. I recently re-deployed the project and noticed that there are a number of folders that seem to be caches.

If I understand how Smarty works correctly, when using a template it is checked to see if it has been changed and if so the cache copy is updated with the 'compiled' version, which is then used to display the actual page.

Since the new cached version is on the server that the template has been deployed to, it never gets updated in SVN, which has the original content of the folder. This would mean that there are a whole heap of files/folders that I don't need to store in SVN in the first place since they are re-created as needed.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, or advise what I can add to the SVN ignore list.

I am not at all expert at Smarty yet, one of our developers introduced it as the way to go for a project, and I'm having to catch up while managing everything. (I think his choice of Smarty is right, by the way).

Setup compile directory and cache directory both inside a deployment temporary files directory, so that they are never stored in VCS.

Something like this:
Code:
$tpl = new Wrappers\Smarty();
$tpl->setCompileCheck(defined('TS_COMPILE_CHECK') ? TS_COMPILE_CHECK : Smarty::COMPILECHECK_CACHEMISS);
$tpl->setCaching(defined('TS_CACHING') ? TS_CACHING : Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_SAVED);
$tpl->cache_lifetime = defined('TS_CACHE_LIFETIME') ? TS_CACHE_LIFETIME : 21600;
$tpl->setConfigDir("$smartyBaseDir/configs");
$tpl->addPluginsDir("$smartyBaseDir/plugins");
$tpl->setTemplateDir("$smartyBaseDir/templates");
$tpl->setCacheDir("$smartyTempDir/cache");
$tpl->setCompileDir("$smartyTempDir/templates_c");
$tpl->configLoad('admin.cfg');


Also learn about Composer.

Thanks for the quick response.
The code makes sense, but don't yet know where I would put it. Any clues appreciated.
(As I said in the original post, someone else set it all up and I'm playing catch-up).

You put it where it makes sense.
This is YOUR code, after all.
I'm typically make it all in one place, near initialization.

Thanks.
I'll have to look carefully, but I'm fairly certain I know where that should go now.
I was thinking there was some particular place in the Smarty code to put configuration information. Looks like I have a job for the weekend when no-one else is working Smile
