Hi,

I am just having a look at smarty, and I want to check one thing before I go implementing into my current code (I don't currently use a template system, but hoping to use one soon).

I've looked at the code for pulling properties out of objects. But what about the following situation:

All my code is based around objects, and some of these objects have arrays of objects themselves. Often I will Want to loop through both.
Say an array called $albums consists of a bunch of 'Album' objects, and an album contains the property $songs, which is an array of 'Song'objects.

How would I loop through both Albums, and loop through the songs in each album displaying each album and song in some sort of table format? Is there an example around or could some one give me a bit of an example. So far been looking around and haven't been able to find anything.

Appreciate code.
Regards, Chris.

Thanks for that. But do i need to assign the object to the template somehow?

yes, with assign_by_ref for example
