https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.variables.smarty.tpl#language.variables.smarty.const

We can also access constants simply like this {MY_CONSTANT}

I think it wasn't the case in early smarty v3 but now it works fine. Maybe add it to the page?



PS: after reading the warning, i don't quite see why I shouldn't directly use the constant in the TPL and instead assign a variable for it, does seem very redundant and useless

Many people think that direct access to constants was an oversight in design. Way too easy to have a conflict with template functions/blocks.

Do you have an example of such a conflict, please?
Maybe I should switch back to {$smarty.const.MY_CONST_VAL}
