Smarty

Hi!

I updated from smarty 2.4.2 to smarty 2.5.0 and found the following bug:

Is used to write: {assign var="user2" value="$smarty.request.user1"}

That does not work anymore! It causes a "$smarty. unkown reference error"

What shall i do, and how do i concatenate a varaiable and a String in a Paraneter: i.e. value="$smarty.request.user"."test" or so!

Thx for help and keep up the great work!

I found a Solution:

{assign var="user2" value="$smarty.request.user1"}

changed to

{assign var="user2" value=$smarty.request.user1}

and to concatenate i use:

{assign var="user2" value="("|cat:$smarty.request.user1|cat:")"}

Sometimes its so easy!

you can also surround the variable by backticks:
{assign var="user2" value="(`$smarty.request.user1`)"}

without backticks only "$smarty" is recognized as the variable, and the dot is assumed belonging to the string.

see:
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.syntax.quotes.php
but it's a bit sparse, i know.

oh I like the backtick solution better than mine!

It's readable!

[messju]

with "sparse" i meant the documentation for the backticks on smarty.php.net not the backticks themselves

following code is also causing thesame error:
syntax error: $smarty. is an unknown reference (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 2046)
