Why isn't $smarty.const._SOMETHING work?

I'm trying to use $smarty.const._CONSTNAME in my templates instead of manually assigning smarty variables with constant values.

Shouldn't this work? I tried with $smarty.const. as well as $xoopsTpl.const - but no dice.

Anybody able to help?

Should work according the manual :
Quote:
{$smarty.const}
You can access PHP constant values directly.

Example 4-8. using {$smarty.const}

{$smarty.const._MY_CONST_VAL}

Yeah - and I have had it working in a little system, I made also using SMARTY. I'm wondering if the fact that XOOPS places the templates in the database has anything to do with this... But as I said, it ain't working with neither <{$smarty nor <{$xoopsTpl ($smarty is the smarty object in the smarty documentation, but the smarty object in XOOPS is $xoopsTpl)

Just wondering, is there no method to force this to work, by for instance changing the general preferences setting to (I don't know now how it's called exactly) look for updated html files (templates)? Could this be a way to see it working for one time?

if it's a module, update it so the new templates are added to the database. if you're sure the new templates are being processed, make sure the constants are defined before xoops/smarty is displayed.

templates updated
constants are defined - they work fine if I make a $xoopsTpl->assign('somename', _SOME_CONSTANT);

but I just can't use them directly.

I'm using this at several places, so this should work:
<a class='buttHome' href="<{$xoops_url}>/"> <{$smarty.const._YOURHOME}> </a>


I don't know what's happening. What result do you get in the output (nothing, the const name, ...) ?

I get no output whatsoever.

Edit: I mean, no output where the constant should be - the rest of the page shows fine.
