I havn't needed a compile id before, but IMHO I think this is a perfect use. If it's not supposed to be used in this situation, what situaltion is it supposed to be used in. |
compile_id is typically used when you want several compiled versions of the same template files, such as re-using templates for different languages. This minimizes the runtime processing, as opposed to using the same compiled files and dynamically building the language text.
There is nothing keeping you from using separate template_dir for each theme, but in my experience it is easier to stick with one template_dir and one compile_dir and let the templates handle which theme to display. This way you retain the ability of using compile_id for separate languages, the complexity at the application level is minimal and the templates are kept most flexible. Multiple template_dirs may also add an element of confusion for someone looking at the directory structure then looking at the template output and having to figure out how the application is swapping around the template_dir root.

| We are sourcing multipple the templates from a database structure, so I, without having actually got to the part of implementing this, I think setting the compile_id to the ID of the template set so the compiled templates don't overwrite each other. |

hi...
this is my approach for multiple themes:
| Code: |
define(ROOT_PATH, "/home/www/testsite/html/");
class sysSmarty extends Smarty {
var $template_name = '';
function sysSmarty($template = "") {
if(!$this->set_template($template) && $template != "") {
die('Error: Template "'.$template.'" does not exist');
}
}
function set_template($template) {
if($template && file_exists(ROOT_PATH."templates/themes/".$template)) {
$this->Smarty();
$this->template_dir = ROOT_PATH.'templates/themes/'.$template;
$this->compile_dir = ROOT_PATH.'templates/compiled/'.$template;
$this->template_name = $template;
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}

cool. thanks for the code deixu, this'll really be handy  , but in part of your code, did you mean to have the first if statement to be
| Code: | | if(!$this->set_template($template) || $template == "") { |
so it checks if a template was entered at all? |

|
|
| I dunno about you, but I use the templating in Smarty to format table widths and arrange elements on the page. Then I use a selection of static CSS stylesheets to allow different users to select different colors and background sets for their personal view. |
