Smarty

It is not possible to use config parameters dynamically:
If you load a config file and then use some of the config parameters it is ok, but when you try to use config parameter as variable the parameter does not show.

Here is an example:
WORKING:
{config_load file="setup.conf"}
{#foobar#}

NOT WORKING:
{config_load file="setup.conf"}
{assign var="varname" value="foobar"}
{#$varname#}

Please advise...

Respect for the really SMARTY template engine

That's not a bug, of course, that's a feature Seriously, config files were never designed for that but instead are a means to introduce static text into your templates (=fast) and that is all.

If you want to use them as vars, you have to do a little more work, for example using {capture} which I won't describe since it is an awkward solution, IMO.

Much better is if you use an array to store the vars you want to handle dynamically:

{#$varname#} doesn't work. {$smarty.config.$varname} does.

Thank you both for the very useful information you shared with me, I really should learn to read the Smarty Manual in details.

Anyway thank you very much
