Create a global Smarty variable?

[iangutjahr]

I'm trying to create my own variables so I can use them throughout the site.

 

so far what I've done is made my own function file in /includes/

 

<?php

function packagePrice ($id, $term) {

#get info here
$price = "$8.00";

return $price;
}

?>

 

and then in my php file (where it loads the template file) I put:

 

require "includes/customfunctions.php";

$smartyvalues['m_price'] = packagePrice (1, "monthly");

 

So, what I want to do is make my function and define my variables in the customfunctions.php file so that I dont have to create the smarty variable on every page. Creating a global smarty variable that can be used for every template file..

 

Hopefully this makes sense!

 

 

Thanks alot!!

You could probably create an actionhook with ClientAreaPage, and then do something like this.

 

global $smarty;

$smarty->assign('foo', $bar);

I got that working great on all my pages execpt the main index page. I'm unsure on how to add variables to that page.

 

I've searched the docs and the forums and have found answers to a lot of other questions that I've had but nothing on where to add

$smartyvalues["var"] = $foo;

to work in the main page. Everything I've tried so far has not worked.

 

Any ideas?

 

Just noticed in your sig you have ASO listed! They were one of my first hosts! ASO is awesome!!

I need this also

just create a hooks file in the includes/hooks folder

 

create a function, and hook it to the ClientAreaPage function sas frank suggested, but do it like this:

 

function test_hook($vars){
$vars['newglobal'] = 'value';
returns $vars;
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPage",1,"test_hook");

 

obviouslt change the function name as it should be named the same as the hook file
