Hi,

I am surprised to find that while `fetch`-ing a file, it does not assign the values to the variables
already assigned.
In the previous version "Smarty-2.6.0-RC2", this worked perfectly.

---------------------------------------------------------
file: example.tpl

Hi {$username},
welcome to the smart world
Fullname: {$user_fullname}
Email : {$email}
---------------------------------------------------------

test.php
$tpl->assign("username", $this_username);
$tpl->assign("user_fullname", $this_userfullname);
$tpl->assign("email", $this_useremail);
$content = $tpl->fetch("example.tpl");

echo $content;
-----------------------------------------------------------

The above example worked with "Smarty-2.6.0-RC2"
It is not working in "Smarty 2.6.5"

Am i doing something wrong?

uh, why do you say it doesn't work? Your example HAS to work--I mean, that's what Smarty does. If it didn't work, there wouldn't have been a release. FWIW, I use fetch all the time and I'm not seeing the same issue you suggest.

Hi,

I tested it a few times. It still did not work.
Here are the full details.

---------------------------------------------------------
// example.tpl
---------------------------------------------------------
<pre>
Hi {$myusername},
Fullname: {$myuser_fullname}
Email : {$myemail}
</pre>
#----------------------EOF-------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
// blurb.tpl
---------------------------------------------------------
This is the blurb.

{$blurb}

It is found at {$siteurl}

#----------------------EOF-------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
// smartytest.php
---------------------------------------------------------
<?php

$DIR_UP = "../";

$sitedebug = 1;
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
require_once $DIR_UP . '/class/smarty_new/libs/Smarty.class.php'; //version: 2.6.5-dev
//require_once $DIR_UP . '/class/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php'; //version: 2.6.0
//$mytheme = "bliss";

$tpl = new Smarty;
$tpl->template_dir = $DIR_UP. "themes";
$tpl->cache_dir = $DIR_UP. "cache";
$tpl->debugging = $sitedebug;
$tpl->compile_dir = $DIR_UP . "templates_c";
//-------------
$this_username = "abraham";
$this_userfullname = "Abraham Lincoln";
$this_useremail = "abraham.lincoln AT whitehouse DOT gov";

$tpl->assign("myusername", $this_username);
$tpl->assign("myuser_fullname", $this_userfullname);
$tpl->assign("myemail", $this_useremail);

$content = $tpl->fetch("example.tpl");

//TODO: consecutive fetch. to be tested
//-------------
$blurb = "What is you see is what you get";
$siteurl = "http://smarty.php.net";

$tpl->assign("snippet", $blurb);
$tpl->assign("website", $siteurl);

//concat with old content
//$content .= $tpl->fetch("blurb.tpl");
//echo "content is " . $content;

$tpl->assign("page_content", $content);

$tpl->display( "templatepage.tpl");
?>
---------------------------------EOF---------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
//file: templatepage.tpl
---------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<title>{$page_heading|default:"untitled"}</title>
<body>

{$page_content}
<hr>
{$page_footer}
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------EOF---------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
Here is the debug console output
---------------------------------------------------------
Smarty Debug Console
included templates & config files (load time in seconds):
example.tpl
templatepage.tpl (0.00519)

assigned template variables:
{$SCRIPT_NAME} /test/smartytest.php
{$myemail} abraham.lincoln AT whitehouse DOT gov
{$myuser_fullname} Abraham Lincoln
{$myusername} abraham
{$page_content} empty
{$snippet} What is you see is what you get
{$website} http://smarty.php.net
assigned config file variables (outer template scope):
{#files#} Array (0)
{#vars#} Array (0)

----------------------------------------------------------

see the {$page_content} is "empty"

Hmm. I looked at your example and it looks ok... I'm not sure what you have in your example.tpl, though and I'd suggest that while debugging, you keep error reporting at E_ALL. I'm also wondering if you cleared your templates_c and cached folders since you upgraded.

I depend on this functionality, so I know it should work. I even tried using a simplified version of your example:

[php:1:cab5a05abc]<?php
$content = $tpl->fetch("content.tpl");
die($content);
?>[/php:1:cab5a05abc]

Where content.tpl contains the text "content.tpl" and $tpl is a properly configured subclass of Smarty. The result is "content.tpl" as expected.

It also just occured to me: where in your path does example.tpl exist? Smarty no longer searches your php include path for templates. Does that affect you?

All the files are in same folder.
No, I did not clear any files in templates_c or cache.

Even, If I cleared it, it should have regenerated.
Shouldn't it?

While Error reporting E_ALL,
I am getting this error

Ahh. That seems to make more sense. Now, why is it finding the one template and not the other is a good question.

Troubleshooting Tips: try each of these in order and test after each.

- Clear out the compiled and cached directories to make sure (or set $smarty->force_compile = true).

- Make sure that there are no copies of templatepage.tpl in other locations, again to ensure that Smarty is retrieving your templates from the expected spots.

- Ensure that $smarty->template_dir is pointing to the correct path just prior to calling fetch().

- Make sure that you can access your template files using file_get_contents($DIR_UP. "themes/".$template_name).

-Make sure the user access permissions for the template files match what your webserver is capable of.
