Changing SmartyPHP Template Directory?

[N1CK3RS0N]

Hello,

 

I'm working on some custom pages and I wanted to set the directory for these pages to "pages/" in the home directory. However the default directory for templates is of course "templates/" and then whatever theme you have selected. Is there any way I can work around this?

 

I tried using the following but had no luck.

 

$templatefile = "../../pages/test.tpl";

 

Thanks,

Regarding the documentation, you should try something like this:

$templatefile = 'file:/path_to_your_directory/pages/test.tpl';

 

This may work as a workaround, if the variable is loaded directly to the smarty as the template path.
