Smarty

[jbenzakin]

Im trying to use smarty but im having trouble with it.

if anyone can help me out.

 

i uploaded the smarty folder downloaded on smarty.php.net in the root level.

 

in my php file i set following path: require('/home/MY_USER_NAME/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');

 

then i have the following code:

 

$smarty = new Smarty();

 

$filepath = MY_USER_NAME;

 

$smarty->template_dir = '/home/' . $filepath . '/public_html/templates';

$smarty->compile_dir = '/home/' . $filepath . '/public_html/templates_c';

$smarty->cache_dir = '/home/' . $filepath . '/public_html/cache';

$smarty->config_dir = '/home/' . $filepath . '/public_html/configs';

 

i set chmod the templates_c and cache folder to 777

 

then i have this code:

 

$page = 'index';

$section = 'index';

 

$smarty->assign('smarty', $smarty);

$smarty->assign('page', $page);

$smarty->assign('section', $section);

$smarty->display('template.tpl');

 

 

i have a template called template.tpl inside the template forlder.

 

and if i go to my site im getting the following error message: Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "template.tpl" in /home/xhclznld/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

 

PLEASE ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

 

thanks

Welcome to the forums Jeremie

 

I'd recheck the install guide.

Hi Bruce,

I would try changing the statements that look like this to your actual path:

 

>$smarty->template_dir = '/home/' . $filepath . '/public_html/templates';

 

to

 

>$smarty->template_dir = '/home/yourCpanelName/public_html/templates';
