I have a files called SmartyLibrary.php in libraries under codeigniter


Code:

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

require_once(APPPATH . 'third_party/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');

class SmartyLibrary extends Smarty {

   function __construct() {
      parent::__construct();
      // Define directories, used by Smarty:
      $this->setTemplateDir(APPPATH . 'views/templates');
      $this->setCompileDir(APPPATH . 'cache');
      $this->setCacheDir(APPPATH . 'cache');
   }
}






I have

$autoload['libraries'] = array('SmartyLibrary' => 'smarty');


in autoload.php







I have an index.tpl under views/templates




I am getting

An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: SmartyException

Message: Unable to load template 'file:index.tpl'




If I look at the Smarty array it says



[template_dir:protected] => Array
(
[0] => /var/www/vhosts/blaablaa.co.uk/httpdocs/system/templates/
)





Shouldn't it say

[template_dir:protected] => Array
(
[0] => /var/www/vhosts/blaablaa.co.uk/httpdocs/system/application/views/templates/
)


It is as though

$this->setTemplateDir(APPPATH . 'views/templates'); is being ignored


any idea what the problem is please?

Extending Smarty class is a bad idea.

Why?


I googled and copied that bit of code or do you mean not to use smarty in the first place?

at the end of the constructor for tests.
