Variables loaded from config files
Variables that are loaded from the config files are referenced by enclosing them within hash marks (#), or with the smarty variable $smarty.config. The second syntax is useful for embedding into quoted attribute values.
Example 4-5. config variables
foo.conf: pageTitle = "This is mine" bodyBgColor = "#eeeeee" tableBorderSize = "3" tableBgColor = "#bbbbbb" rowBgColor = "#cccccc" index.tpl: {config_load file="foo.conf"} <html> <title>{#pageTitle#}</title> <body bgcolor="{#bodyBgColor#}"> <table border="{#tableBorderSize#}" bgcolor="{#tableBgColor#}"> <tr bgcolor="{#rowBgColor#}"> <td>First</td> <td>Last</td> <td>Address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> index.tpl: (alternate syntax) {config_load file="foo.conf"} <html> <title>{$smarty.config.pageTitle}</title> <body bgcolor="{$smarty.config.bodyBgColor}"> <table border="{$smarty.config.tableBorderSize}" bgcolor="{$smarty.config.tableBgColor}"> <tr bgcolor="{$smarty.config.rowBgColor}"> <td>First</td> <td>Last</td> <td>Address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> OUTPUT: (same for both examples) <html> <title>This is mine</title> <body bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <table border="3" bgcolor="#bbbbbb"> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td>First</td> <td>Last</td> <td>Address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> |
Config file variables cannot be used until after they are loaded in from a config file. This procedure is explained later in this document under config_load.
