Hi all people out there!
I've been digisting smarty manual since my last post here and at last have began to write "smarty" style. Want to share my first feelings: code looks pretty nice...and I want to shout out that smartyy rulez! :)
But still having some questions with the general Smarty work principle, like for example "Is there a performance difference using {include file='dddd.tpl'} and {include_php file=''somephp.file}?" I am currently trying `smartize` my 100% ready and running PHP site and wonder if I have to transform my .php includes into .tpl files where possible, or including php directly in templates is also ok..
Another question is this : To tell the truth, I chose Smarty at first because of its caching and 'compilation' features and what to benefit from them as much as possible. Currently my structure is this, I have many templates called withing my main template file :
index.tpl --> <html code>.....{include file="someteplate.tpl"}.....<some more html code>... {include file="template.tpl"}
Well... as I understood from the manual, in order to perform caching (template based - different cache settings for each template), I have to use cache_lifetime before calling each template and each template should be called from main PHP file where I initiate smarty engine:
$smarty->cache_lifetime= 300;
$smarty->display(someteplate.tpl');
$smarty->cache_lifetime= 3600;
$smarty->display(template.tpl');
But thing is that currently I have only one string here,which displayes index.tpl, which itself includes other templates.
$smarty->display(index.tpl');
What do you think?
Thank you all from now.
