Re: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: Var Templates

I like the idea of using a custom resource to handle these kinds of feature requests, keeping it out of the core. Example: {config_load file="eval:my.conf" section="foo"} But, smarty does not (yet) support custom resources on config files, only templates. This is something I've been wanting to work on for some time but it is low priority. With this, other nifty things could be done like supporting other config file formats, or even writing back to them: {config_load file="ini:my.conf"} That could be a custom resource to load php.ini formatted files.
