I display ads on various pages of my website by using a custom {ads} plugin. Although the pages are cached, I want a new ad to be loaded anytime a page is opened, even if that page is already in the cache. I use the custom plugin shown below

Code:
{ads category=$category nocache}


This is the problem...
Anytime a page is reloaded the category parameter is empty and the plugin cannot function as intended. I would like a way to cache the "category" variable as well so it is passed to the custom plugin everytime it runs.

Thanks

You must ensure that all variables used in {nocache}{/nocache} blocks are assigned to the template before rendering.
If you have something like
Code:
if(!$smarty->isCached(cacheKey))
{
 $smarty->assign(...);
}


you should split it in two sections. Dynamic vars that are always assigned and cached vars that can be left out.
