I will not be so sure about that, i tried to use the method display taking as argument a database resource, something like $my_smarty->display($template_to serve), where $template_to_serve = "db:$template".
Working this way isn't accepted by Smarty engine, still trying to figure out the problem.
However, if I use directly $my_smarty->display("db:index"), where 'index' is the name of the template, it works.
Any idea? Idea

hmmm. It works for me. Can you demonstrate your problem? ie. post your resource and sample (and failed) cases?

Hello!...

Thanx for quick answer and sorry for my delay.

I have a class that, depending of the URI, had to load a certain template from database.
I had rewritten the class and its methods, and now it works.
In previous one, the template was loaded, in that template some variables were assigned, and the same template is used for display() method.
Still don't know why it works now, the code it's the same for 90%.

Thanx a lot!...Happy coding!

One more thing : I have a class that is registering as resource a database. Everything is ok for now, but if I have another class that extends the first class, that resource is not longer available for extended class.I have to implement it again... Sad
