EDIT: I opened a github issue: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/issues/110

Hi,
i want to cache the list of existing options in my <select> tag. but i dont want to cache what option will be selected by default using the selected="selection" parameter in each <option> tag.
see this code for example:
Code:
if(!$smarty->isCached('contactpersons_add.tpl')) {
    $companies = []; // will be filled from db
   
    $smarty->assign('companies',  $companies); //should be cached!
}

$companyId = isset($_GET['companyId']) ? $_GET['companyId'] : $companies[0]['ID'];
$smarty->assign('companyId', $companyId, true); //dont cache this

$smarty->display('contactpersons_add.tpl');

this is part of my template:
Code:
<select>
    {foreach from=$companies item=$company}
        <option value="{$company.ID}"{if $companyId == $company.ID} selected="selected"{/if}>{$company.Name|escape}</option>
    {/foreach}
</select>

my problem here is the resulting file in the cache directory. the first time the page loads, everything works ok. But on second time, the if in the option tag does not work anymore. See the resulting cache file in cache directory here:
Code:
<select class="form-control" id="inputCompanyID" name="CompanyID" required="required">
    <option value="26"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['company']->value['ID']) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 1</option>
    <option value="21"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['company']->value['ID']) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 2</option>
    <option value="12"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['company']->value['ID']) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 3</option>
</select>

Hope you see the problem that "$_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['company']" does not exists on second page call because the foreach itself has been cached away. Instead, the compiler of smarty should insert the real ID of each company into the if code.
It should instead look like this (this was handmade, not smarty-compiler made:
Code:
<select class="form-control" id="inputCompanyID" name="CompanyID" required="required">
    <option value="26"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == 26) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 1</option>
    <option value="21"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == 21) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 2</option>
    <option value="12"<?php if ($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['companyId']->value == 12) {?> selected="selected"<?php }?>>Company 3</option>
</select>

How to fix this?

1. Use javascript to set current selection. Completely agnostic and would work straight out the oven.
2. Use http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.html.options.tpl and cache its output based on list contents + selected item.
3. Split your optlist into a bunch of subtemplates with their own cache_id each (NOT RECOMMENDED.)
