hello,

the way i have my site setup is like so

/
/smarty/
/themes/
/themes/default/
index.php

now in my themes/default/ are all my TPL files, they seem to work, however when i use an include in my header.tpl file to include navmenu.tpl which are in the same directory, it isn't called or included
here is what i am using

{include file="$theme_dir/navmenu.tpl"}

i got that from the smarty site.

Joe

i checked the compiled template and here is what smarty is using for the include. I am not sure if this is correct or not....



<?php
$_smarty_tpl_vars = $this->_tpl_vars;
$this->_smarty_include($this->_tpl_vars['theme_dir']."/navmenu.tpl", array());
$this->_tpl_vars = $_smarty_tpl_vars;
unset($_smarty_tpl_vars);
?>

i have even attempted this

<!-- #include file="{$theme_dir}/navmenu.tpl" -->

and it seems smarty won't allow that type of include and just prints it as a comment to the browser Sad

Include works by starting to scan for files in your templates_dir. So to inlclude a template you simply say {include file="template.tpl"}. Now, say you want to include a template from a subdir, you type {include file="subdir/subtemplate.tpl"}.

In your example, $theme_dir must be a dir that is under templates_dir, eg: $theme_dir = "subdir".

On the otherhand, if you want to use an absolute path, then you must prefix the path with the file resource: {include file="file:/path/to/template/...."}

right now the way they are being called is like so

$theme_dir = themes/default/

so it is calling like this when evaluated

{include file="themes/default/navmenu.tpl"}

but for some odd reason it's not including the file Sad

what IS Smarty doing? Do you get an error? Make sure that dbugging is turned on and that error reporting is at E_ALL.

EDIT: According to your first post, themes/ is not a subdir of your template directory.

if themes/default/ is your template dir, then smarty won't find $theme_dir/template.tpl when $theme_dir = 'themes/default' UNLESS you have your template directory (themes/default/) contains a directory structure that includes "themes/default/" (ie. "themes/default/themes/default/template.tpl" must exist).

Phew. I hope that makes sense!

The way I read it, I think you want to point templates_dir to 'base/theme' and then do your includes using $theme_dir = 'default' (or whatever the appropriate theme is). That way it will resolve to default/template.tpl which will resolve to $templates_dir.'default/template.tpl' => base/theme/default/template.tpl

tada!
