Good afternoon, I'm trying to include a html file in a section inside the product sheet.

For this I have included in the product.tpl this code:

Code:
{include file="$tpl_dir./test.html"}



In this case it is a test, but I want the file name to be the Product Code.html. It also works fine, but if that file does not exist, it gives an error.

In php it is simple to check if that url or file exists. But I do not know how to do it on smarty.

I've tried introducing php code between tags {php} {/ php}, but it does not work, as I've seen it is obsolete.

You could tell me some way, to check the availability of that file, to put it in an if, that only enters when it exists ...

Thank you very much for your help. I've been behind this for many hours and I do not know where to go.
Thank you!!

I would try:
Code:
{if file_exists("$tpl_dir/test.html")}
{include file="$tpl_dir/test.html"}
{else}
{include file="$tpl_dir/404.html"}
{/if}

Many PHP functions are usable in Smarty.

Of course it gives an error. Because you made it - you told it to include a nonexistent file. And it is your responsibility to fix it. Not to mask it with senseless workarounds.
