Smarty

[WoWWoW]

ok, this might be a silly question...but i gonna ask anyway.

i got a file index.php which refers to the template index.tpl.
in index.tpl, i got several include file... header.tpl, navi.tpl and etc...
for example, in navi.tpl i got a variable call $nav1, how to I assign a value to $nav1 via index.php??

another question, is there a way for me to change the include file dynamically? for example... include file=header.tpl...change it to include file=header2.tpl. I tried putting a variable there like.... {include file="$heads.tpl" }, then using assign(blabla...) from index.php.... but somehow, the value didnt get through.

plz help... i'm very new to smarty, php and stuff... just a college student trying to finish an assignment.

1.
$smarty->assign('nav1', $value);

2.
include file="$heads.tpl" } should work in Smarty-2.5.0 when $heads was assigned correctly.

in Smarty-2.4.2 the ".tpl" will be bound to $heads: smarty thinks you want to access the *array* $header['tpl'] . you can work around this with:
{include file=$heads|string_format:"%s.tpl"}

HTH
