RE: Re: XML ver feed - updated

Why don't you just clean the compiled-templates and cache dir after you
upload a new version of your software. That way you can also turn of the
compile_check.

We do it like that on all of our websites. Even our biggest project
(backeyedpeas.com) just gives a slightly higher load for a couple of minutes
and then continues like normal.

Kind regards,

Subject: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: XML ver feed - updated

Maybe I should explain the underlying reasoning so is real like problem! 
(and I don't use caching much).. and  some pseudo code..

I maintain  a lot of  "brochure static" web sites as well as all the 
total web 1.0+ applications ones with db/soap etc which I fathered and 
baby sit..

and host them as well with me own application's on a virtual server and 
use a shared compile_dir. THere are other ftp sites and VPN's etc

Then uploading/upgrading I have no problems with generally just 
replacing libs with new eg ADODB/phpmailer and the olde Smarty lib with 
new.. Its not likely to break all on the php level. .compile .. then yes

One of the original bummers/mistakes/shit was to include a SMARTY_DIR = 
  Smarty/libs/*. ie no VER in path as per extracted tarball (wind no 
symb) The problem there was that the update of the "engine" to a site 
did not update or recompile the templates and they went mad

SO I use the following construct
define('SITE_KEY', 'Some-Wb-siteSite');


and compile with
define('SMARTY_DIR','/lib.etc.php');
require_once(smarty);
define('SMARTY_VERSION', $smarty->version() );
$smarty->compile_dir = '/path to shared/dir/';
$smarty->compile_id = SITE_KEY.SMARTY_VERSION;

All the above is in a common_config.inc.php file.

now what I almost got working is a script that will get the latest 
smarty and then nuke the olde compiled templates when the version changes

As well it auto replaces the path.. to smarty version as a define()

I got Ten Smarty-2* dirs atmo so want to resolve this by visit all the 
sites once and then implement a more automatic method
../smarty_update.sh
Detected version x.y.z. in /here/path/
Latest: Latest smart version is Smarty-{$REMOTE_VERSION}?
Do you want to download an install latest version ?
Y
;

What this means at the end of the day is the smarty-installer script I 
suppose.


Hope it makes sense
