Why does it not work?

// ----------------------
$smarty->assign("test1","value of test1");
// ----------------------

{assign var="test2" value="$test1 in document"}

Or is it a bug?

sorry, i forgot my magic glass today. it would be nice if you let us know:
what do you expect?
what do you get?

The problem is that smarty not replace the assigned vars by useing a function like {assign var="var1" value="value1"}.

index.php:
[php:1:673754922b]<?php

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('foo',array('value'=>'value of foo');
$smarty->display('document.tpl');

?>[/php:1:673754922b]

document.tpl:

Hi, i have similar problem, but in this case it doesn't work.

{assign var=ClientFullName value=`$Client.ClientTitle $Client.ClientFirstName $Client.ClientLastName`}

...and a get error

"Fatal error: Smarty error: [in Sub_Fixed_Client_list.tpl line 24]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: '$Client.ClientFirstName' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1524)"

...when i try

{assign var=ClientFullName value="`$Client.ClientTitle $Client.ClientFirstName $Client.ClientLastName`"}

...and display content of var, i get

`Array.ClientTitle Array.ClientFirstName Array.ClientLastName`

So where is the catch ?

backtick is not so magical. You use it around SINGLE variable references.

{assign var=ClientFullName value="`$Client.ClientTitle` `$Client.ClientFirstName` `$Client.ClientLastName`"}
