Variables that are loaded from the
config files
are referenced by enclosing them within #hash marks#,
or with the smarty variable
$smarty.config.
The later syntax is useful for embedding into quoted attribute values.
Example 4.6. config variables
Example config file - foo.conf:
pageTitle = "This is mine"
bodyBgColor = '#eeeeee'
tableBorderSize = 3
tableBgColor = "#bbbbbb"
rowBgColor = "#cccccc"
A template demonstrating the #hash# method:
{config_load file='foo.conf'}
<html>
<title>{#pageTitle#}</title>
<body bgcolor="{#bodyBgColor#}">
<table border="{#tableBorderSize#}" bgcolor="{#tableBgColor#}">
<tr bgcolor="{#rowBgColor#}">
<td>First</td>
<td>Last</td>
<td>Address</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
A template demonstrating the
$smarty.config method:
{config_load file='foo.conf'}
<html>
<title>{$smarty.config.pageTitle}</title>
<body bgcolor="{$smarty.config.bodyBgColor}">
<table border="{$smarty.config.tableBorderSize}" bgcolor="{$smarty.config.tableBgColor}">
<tr bgcolor="{$smarty.config.rowBgColor}">
<td>First</td>
<td>Last</td>
<td>Address</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Both examples would output:
<html>
<title>This is mine</title>
<body bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<table border="3" bgcolor="#bbbbbb">
<tr bgcolor="#cccccc">
<td>First</td>
<td>Last</td>
<td>Address</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Config file variables cannot be used until
after they are loaded in from a config file. This procedure is
explained later in this document under
{config_load}.
