I have a couple questions on accessing and displaying content. I have a sub directory that contains all the content files. How are they requested? Is this by the URL? Something like http://domain.com/index.php?=article1.html ? How would this be passed into the template file? I assume a variable? The second is where and how to read the title of the page from? I'm guessing the title should be in the article as <title>article title</title> and read from there? Looking at the demo it looks like the title is read from the index.tpl file but I don't see what the purpose of that is. Any examples of the above appreciated.

Ok, I have figured out my first question but I have not found any way to change the title tag. The only thing I can think to do is include the title in the article file and somehow read that. Every thing I have read sets the title in a conf file or in the php script as a variable which is fine if you have a website with one page or you want all your pages to have the same title. Any ideas on this one? I don't know much PHP so an example would be great. Smile

Hi JoeDown,
Here is one way...
Assign the title in the php file like:
Code:
$smarty-&gt;assign('title'         ,       &quot;My Title&quot;);
$smarty-&gt;display('mypage.tpl');

then in mypage.tpl:
Code:
{include file=&quot;header.tpl&quot;}

and in my generic header:
Code:

&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;{$title}&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;


Opening a file in php and assigning it to a template var can really work well with any file... Just read the file into a string and assign it. (Parent templates pass on their vars to child templates when using the include syntax)

Ok, that looks similiar to the other examples I have seen but I'm not understanding where the actual page title gets read from? Sad

The page title isn't read from--it is assigned, typically by the php script that is calling $smarty->display().
