Re: [SMARTY-DEV] Compiling templates

The reason Smarty does not have a "compile everything" feature is because there is no foolproof way to do it. Many times the compiling of templates relies on environment variables such as vars passed in URLs, different compile_ids, etc. You could use a web-bot to traverse the pages of your website, that would probably work in your case. If your templates don't rely on any environment vars, you could write a command line script that calls fetch() on each (top-level) template file. Maybe someone could contribute a crafty script that traverses the template_dir and compiles them unconditionally. But I won't be the one to support it ;-) Monte On Tue, 2003-04-15 at 10:13, luis wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm having the following problem and would like to get some ideas: > The application we are building is multilanguage and we use a prefilter > to translate strings.
