Hi All,

I have to write a tag {cache id=...} that needs to be called in a if-statement inside templates, like so:

if ( ! cache->start())
{
// output content to cache...
$cache->end();
}
// output not cached...


I wrote the cache() and endcache() functions and registered them with smarty. But how do I include them in a if-tag, like so?

{if ! cache id=abc}
// output content to cache...
{endcache}
{/if}


The above does not work and gives an error:

Error: 256
Text : Smarty error: [in Header.tpl line 1]: syntax error: unidentified token '=' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1391)
File : \Library\Smarty\Smarty.class.php
Line : 1095

Is there anyother way I can include my function in a if-statement tag as mentioned above? I'm afraid I'm missing something terribly simple

TIA

Never mind; I figured it out.
