Hello Everyone,

I have the following problem with smarty variables.

In my toy example,

I have the following lines in xoops_version.php
// Templates

$modversion['templates'][1]['file'] = 'interface_index.html';

$modversion['templates'][1]['description'] = '';

I have the following lines in my index.php

$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'interface_index.html';
.....

$xoopsTpl->assign('uid', $uid);
.....

And, I have the following definition in interface_index.html

<{$uid}>

Up to here, everything works fine. It outputs a userID.

BUT, if I change the variable name $uid in interface_index.html to, say $uid1,

then, the following will not work.

In index.php
$xoopsTpl->assign('uid1', $uid);

In interface_index.html
<{$uid1}>

There is not output.

Moreover, if I try the following line in index.php,
$xoopsTpl->assign('uid', $uid);

and the content of interface_index.html is STILL <{$uid1}>.

It will output the userID.

I just wonder if there is a buffer mechanism that remembers my first declaration of $uid in interface_index.html?

Please let me know what is wrong here.

Many thanks in advance,
Josh

Yes there is a cache. During development go to System>Preferences>General Settings and then set 'Check templates for modifications ?' to 'Yes'. This will disable template caching.

Don't forget to set this back to 'No' after you're done to help with overall system performance.

It worked!! Thank you very much, zyspec.
