config_load smarty?

[CrustyDOD]

Hey

 

Somehow config_load is not working..

 

conf file:

# info url
infoUrl = "http://test.com"

 

header.tpl

{config_load file="templates/default/includeme.conf"}
{#infoUrl#}

 

Result = nothing..

 

Even debug says nothing was loaded.. eh?

Anyone sees a mistake?

add ?display_errors=on to the url to see if you have any errors, though i am not spotting anything wrong with your test code.

 

Ive had this issue before, but i am not sure what the solution is. Maybe a config issue within the smarty class?

btw, have you tried an absolute path like /home/USERNAME/public_html/templates/defualt/config.conf

 

Try with and without the preceding /

bumping...

 

I'm having exact same problem.

 

no debug errors... absolute pathing doesn't work.

 

 

I just want to set a global variable that any template file can access.

So I have a work around. Which is basically to write variables to a .txt file from my admin addon instead and use the {php} {/php} tags within header.tpl something like below.

 

{php}

$filename = "templates/mytemplatename/systemstate.txt";

$handle = fopen($filename, "r");

$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

fclose($handle);

$this->assign('systemstateid',$contents);

{/php}

 

So, this works for now seeing as I only have one variable I want to retrieve in this file.
