I want to change my website main page, using php code!, I found the tpl file which I need to change, problem is that I have no experience in tpl and I want to write it with php but it won't work. I am trying to use:
{include_php file="/path/to/somefile.php"}
To use php language but it does not work. How does it work with tpl in Smarty templates using php language.
My suggestion the following is a php file
include_once("/var/www/html/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php");
$smartyobject=new Smarty();
$varr="stackoverflow"; //php variable it can also be a array";
$smartyobject->assign("website", $varr); //assigning a variable to "website", and this is now a smarty variable.
$smartyobject->display("tplfile"); //this is the actuall file that get displayed, in this tpl file you can use "website" variable {$website}
smarty has so many in functions loops.. so there is no need include any php file. do whatever you want to in the php file save the result in a variable and display it in a tpl file.

I got 2 files. File B is gtting called in File A. Now i need to edit some things in File B for which i need variables from file A.
I now tried to include File A (parent file) to file B like this:
(I am using SMARTY for my page, basically it´s the sam like a normal PHP include)
{include file='file:/standard-usermod.html'}
Now when the file gets included i can indeed use the variables of File A but the layout is a mess. It also includes me Layout things of file A, but i only need it´s variables. Is there a posibility with PHP (it does not have to be written in SMARTY) to include a file just for using the variables without showing it´s layout on the page?
Use ob_clean() after file include
I have completely no idea about smarty template system. What I am trying to do is include a php file to get some variable inside a .tpl file (this is a WHMCS template).
I have tried like:
{php} include ('file.php'); {/php} //doesn't work
{include_php file='file.php'} //doesn't work
I have also followed the answer of this question. Still couldn't get it working.
How can I include code.php inside header.tpl of WHMCS? Any help please?
Just for reference: both tpl and php file is in the same directory, if that helps anyway.
It's really not recommended to use php code in Smarty. In fact it's now deprecated and you should avoid such solution as much as possible because it often doesn't have sense.
However if you really want to use PHP in your Smarty files for some reason you need to use SmartyBC (Smarty Backward Compatibility) class instead of Smarty class.
So for example instead of:
require_once(_PS_SMARTY_DIR_.'Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty();
you should use:
require_once('SmartyBC.class.php');
$smarty = new SmartyBC();
Then you will be able to use PHP in your Smarty template files
EDIT
If you have just problem with including it's probably your directories problem (however you haven't showed any errors).
I assume you have your files inside your templates directory and you set it properly using:
$smarty->setTemplateDir('templates');
if you simple display index.tpl file in Smarty and you have this PHP file in the same directory (in template directory) you can include it without a path.
However if you include in this index.tpl file another tpl file, when you want to include php file you need to pass the full path to this PHP file, for example:
{include_php 'templates/file.php''}
Your using Smarty the wrong way. The whole point of Smarty is to NOT include any PHP in your presentation bits (views, a.k.a. the good ol' HTML).
So, whatever you're trying to do in that PHP file, just let it do its magic, but send the actual result to Smarty. For example, do you want to show a table of users you get out of a database? Execute the query, fetch the result and pass the results (like an array of results) to smarty like this:
<?php
$smarty = new Smarty();
$users = $db->query('SELECT * FROM users');
// Assign query results to template file.
$smarty->assign('users', $users);
// Compile and display the template.
$smarty->display('header.tpl');
Now, in your smarty template you can access that array like this:
<html>
{foreach from=$users item=user}
Username: {$user->username}<br />
{/foreach}
</html>
I hope you see where I am going. Keep your application logic in the PHP file, and let the template just take care of the looks. Keep the template as dumb as possible!
You get data into Smarty by assigning it. Embedding PHP is not recommended, and deprecated from Smarty 3.
php:
$smarty->assign('foo','bar');
smarty:
{$foo}
I need to use PHP file_get_contents() in smarty tpl file. I can't use it in PHP and assign it to smarty template. Because the URL is generated dynamically through loop inside smarty template file. So I'm using smarty plugin function to achieve that task. But I want to know whether is there any way I can use it in template file directly instead of parsing it from plugin file.
I've attached the plugin code which I'm using to achieve this function. Please anyone let me know how to use it in smarty tpl file directly.
function smarty_function_getTitle($params)
{
if ($params['id']) {
$content = file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=".$params['id']);
parse_str($content, $ytarr);
return $ytarr['title'];
}
}
I've used below code to call it in smarty template:
{getTitle id=$videoId}
Suggestions are welcome!
For those of you reading that didn't read the comments above, myself and OP are both aware that this is not how you use a template engine. He seems to have his reasons for wanting to do this directly in the template rather than a plugin or ahead of time in his code. So don't slag me for demonstrating how, please :)
Here is how you can do it in Smarty.
{"http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=`$videoId`"|file_get_contents|parse_str:$result}
{$result.title}
I did the first part all in one call but if you want to be careful you can split it into multiple calls with checks. But I tested this locally and it worked fine.
Im using smarty localization to get language labels
{config_load file="localization.conf" section=$project->lang}
When I need some label from localization.conf I will put into smarty template file (tpl)
ex. {#label#} (where label in localization.conf = 'some text')
But now I need to use label in php file , How to do that ?
If you want to use config variables before output (assume html output) you can load config in php
$smarty->configLoad('test.conf', 'Login');
var_dump($smarty->getConfigVars());
$smarty->display('test.tpl');
Those config data loaded via PHP will be also visible in Smarty templates. More info: http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.get.config.vars.tpl
I have been asked to include some html snippet in this php/smarty page. It's basically a sales agreement at the end of an overview page before you pay.
What is the code to include static html into my php/smarty template?
Thanks...
Do you mean include a file containing static HTML?
{include file="htmlfile.html"}
edit
As the file is just HTML, it might be better to use {fetch}, e.g.
{fetch file="path/to/html/file.html"}
For local files, either a full system
file path must be given, or a path
relative to the executed php script.
Like any other templates, smarty files are HTML files itself. you can just paste your HTML into smarty template.
If you are trying to include some code containing javascript or similar, you can use
{literal}{/literal} tags
to inlude a file you can use {include file="htmlfile.html"} as Tom said.
Before you display the template, in the PHP file try this:
$smarty->assign('Sectionfile','section-name.html');
$smarty->display('template.tpl');
in the template itself:
{include file="html_dir/$Sectionfile"}
