[Smarty help] Dynamic template file content

[GORF]

Using the standard "Creating Pages" structure, I would like to dynamically generate the .tpl file contents.

 

Let's say I have a (global?) variable $content that contains what would normally be in a .tpl file:

<p><b>This is the stuff!</b><br>New things happening...</p>
<p>TEST = {$test}<p>
<p>{$something}<p>

 

If I simply put {$content} in the .tpl file, the end result is verbatim.

 

I have played with eval() and other things to no avail.

 

Anyone have any direction?

{php}

echo $content;

{/php}

Rob,

 

I tried that with no luck. The Smartyvalues for $test and $something are getting to the .tpl from the .php file but I can't get the $content working.

 

I guess this weekend will be sitting down with the Smarty site for some long reading!!

 

If I can get past this, I think I will have the next cool thing since sliced bread

I'm not fully understanding the question, but I've hit a rock with rename the $pagetitle variable so when I needed I can up with another solution.

 

 

 

{php}$this->assign('pagetest',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);{/php}

 

 

and the did a test on: $pagetest

 

eg:

 

{if $pagetest == '/submitticket.php?step=4'}Do something here{/if}

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem I found is that its pretty easy to change the $pagetitle

in relevant tpl, the problem is this isn't carried across to the header or footer file :-/

Found it!

 

{eval var=$content} in the template file where $content is assigned in the php file as $smartyvalues["content"] = $content;
