Smarty

[quali74]

Could somebody tell me how structure a smarty web site having folders.

so far I have:
/index.php
/templates/
/templates_c/
/cache/
/configs/

I want to create a folder called "admin".

Does it mean I have to create
/templates
/templates_c
/cache
/configs
in the 'admin' folder?

cheers

You would only need to do so if you want to create seperate set of templates for that sub-dir... otherwise you could just point the subdir to the same template dir.. and perhaps put a subfolder in there

ie. in your admin/index.php

it does not work.
I created the following

index.php
admin/page1.php
templates/admin/page1.tpl
templates_c/admin/

and I get :Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "admin/page1.tpl" in D:\www\smarty_quickform\includes\classes\smarty-2.6.13\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

so I changed this to
admin/page1.php
admin/templates/page1.tpl
admin/templates_c

and it works fine but it is not what I really want. How do I get the admin/ templates to call the other templates

[nikotto]

you can always define the path to your templates, in admin/page1.php you could use
$smarty->template_dir = '../templates/';

All the examples and tutorials I can see have no subfolders. Why is that?
I need to understand how a templates folders communicate with each others...

Avoid using relative folder paths in your Smarty setup. Instead, use absolute paths that are rooted to your webroot path. Recall, relative file references to /foo/bar.php are different than those to /bar.php -- so if you are using the same code/relative paths, you will NOT be pointing to the same resource locations (eg templates, compiled, cache, config) under both. This has been covered a lot, so perhaps try a search of the forums.

Good luck.
