I have two templates A and B that both include the same set of other "sub"-templates with no fancy content, just plain html.

I use the following config
Code:
$smarty->caching = true;
$smarty->setCaching(Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT);
$smarty->setCacheLifetime(3600);
$smarty->setCompileCheck(true);

Now when starting from an empty template_c, an empty cache directory, and after executing
Code:
if (!$smarty->isCached('A.tpl') {
    $output = $smarty->fetch('A.tpl');
if (!$smarty->isCached('B.tpl') {
    $output = $smarty->fetch('B.tpl');

I detect that the cache for template A contains a correct list of file dependencies (the included "sub"-templates), while B does not, it just lists the dependency to its own template.
So if I change the content of one of the sub-templates, only A gets updated.

That does not make sense to me Confused
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help,
AnyOne

PS: using Smarty v3.1.33

You're confusing compilation and caching.
Each template is compiled separately.
templates_c is compiled templates.

Adding to that, I would strongly adwise against long caching times in development and CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT in general.
20 seconds with CACHING_LIFETIME_SAVED is more than enough to test caching in development.

Even if I had mixed up compilation and caching:

changing a sub-template should trigger recompilation of this sub-template and therefore also the re-compilation of A and B. And finally the cached versions of A and B should be updated, too.

If I'm wrong, please explain. Thanks.

You are wrong.
Changing a template file triggers recompilation of a template file. Full stop.
Compiled template is merely a .smarty file converted to actual PHP code, nothing more. It's not cache, which contains actual data.

OK, the other way round: no conceptual talk, just plain practice.
  • I have two templates A and B that both include template C.
  • All three templates were compiled, rendered output of A and B were cached (since A and B were fetched once).
  • Then I modify C.
  • My question: how can I configure Smarty to fetch the produced content of A and B, both having the modified content of C in it?
Using the config described in my initial post, only the fetched content returned by A will contain the modified content C.
But when fetching B it still contains the old content of C !
Isn't this surprising?

It's already configured that way.
If you change the template, please manually clear cache.
This is in the documentation.
And on production, compileCheck should be false.

And the funny thing is I found a solution that I can't explain:

Code:
$smarty = new Smarty;
... // doing my config
if (!$smarty->isCached('A.tpl') {
    $output = $smarty->fetch('A.tpl');

$smarty = new Smarty;
... // doing my config
$smarty = new Smarty;
if (!$smarty->isCached('B.tpl') {
    $output = $smarty->fetch('B.tpl');

Restarting with a fresh Smarty instance does the trick !???

Hopefully this helps other people facing a similar issue.
And hopefully someone is capable to explain this Wink
