It worked!! Thank you very much, zyspec.

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
