smarty syntax

[Roger]

I trying to do something that I think should be reasonably simple. Trying to display a tpl file from within another tpl file.

 

according to the Smarty site this should do the trick:

 

{include file='file:templates/template_name/file.tpl'}

 

But nothing displays. I have resorted to using a test file whose contents are "Hello World!" only. Still nothing. Is there some mystery surrounding the Smarty {include} thingie that I don't know about??

 

Thanks

Try it without the 'file:' as part of the filename, eg: {include file='templates/template_name/file.tpl'}

Thanks for the response. I have tried it that way. Same results. Smarty says either way is good.

Hi Roger

Within the template it should be relative to the template directory and not the whmcs root.

Try this

{include file="$template/file.tpl"}

Hey Sparky...

 

actually I had

 {include file="templates/$template/file.tpl"} 

and was using it from a header.tpl file. As I messed with this I actually saw the path printed to the screen with the variable expanded to the correct template directory name. It's probably something simple I've over looked. It's not overly important but was very annoying that I couldn't get it right.

Got it finally... it's $template not $templates .... $template/file.tpl not templates/$template/file.tpl

 

Well what can you expect from a guy my age .... heheheh

 

Thanks Sparky..
