Add variables across all templates...

[dexus]

I would like to add some variables in header template (or maybe somwhere else) that can be used in all template files.

 

For example I tried to add to header.tpl something like this...

 

{php}

$myVar = "something";

{/php}

 

and tried to use it in template as {$myVar} but that doesn't work

 

I never used smarty before so I just don't know how the php code in header should look like that will add variable that can be later used in all template files.

Maybe this link will help a bit?

Yes, that helped, thanks

 

If someone else is interested, variables can be added to header.tpl file like this:

 

{php}

$this->assign('myVar', 'my custom value');

{/php}

 

and can be used later across all template files like this:

 

{$myVar}

Well done, and thanks for sharing the solution!
