Re: Fully compile time includes

Antoher way of doing this is to use a compiler function. It used like this:

{compile_include template_name.tpl}

function sf_compile_include($file, &$smarty)
{
	if ($file) {
		$path = $smarty->_get_compile_path($file);
		if ($smarty->_is_compiled($file, $path) || $smarty->_compile_resource($file, $path))
			return '?>' . file_get_contents($path) . '<?php';
	}
}

What it does is simply putting the template code directly into the parent template.
I've seen speedups when including the same template many time (like in a loop).
The downside is that any changes in the child template isn't detected in the parent, but
could be fixed.

I've used this for some time and it works.
