Hi, i'm trying to get the cache timestamp with this command like in V2:

$tpl->cached->timestamp

But it's not working. How can i get this working in Smarty V3??

Thank you

You don't need to know that.

So, how could i know if the cache is older than new data in DB?

I wan't to compare the timestamp from the cache with the timestamp from last change in DB

You don't need to know that.
When the data in the DB is updated, you should invalidate cache.
Or set cache time short enough to make the time of desync insignificant.

(I have cache times set to 6 hours on most blocks. More than enough for mostly static content. The page content is cached for the same time, but it is invalidated when a new version of the page is saved to the DB.)
