Smarty

[sarahfoxnz]

Hello.

I am thinking of creating a new pathname - for when I log in.

usual path for everyone :-

$smarty->display( "$lang/$format/$templatename" );

my path :-

$smarty->display( "$lang/ME/$templatename" );

(so that i can redesign templates without affecting the public site.)

QUERY: Will i need to copy ALL the template files over, or is it possible to only edit / copy the ones i want, & the smarty will call any 'missing' templates from the original (default?) directory ?

is this possible ?

You don't need to copy the default templates over.

Use $smarty->setTemplateDir() to set up your private folder (not needed if it is already the ./templates folder)

Then use $smarty->addTemplateDir() for the default folder.

This will create an array of template folders.

If Smarty does not find the template in the first folder, it will try to look it up in the next folder.
