Plus that's not clever performance-wise BTW, "hello..." thing was just an example, I posted the actual problem here: http://lists.php.net/article.php?group=php.smarty.dev&article=1196 > You see, I'm not trying to say you don't have a valid need; I'm not saying you were :) > I'm suggesting that there are already plenty of ways to get to where you > want to go without changing anything in the core or introducing any new > concepts. I am basically stuck after coding some 40 PHP files and templates because of this. I am also looking for the best way to do this, without 1) Modifying smarty myself (would make CVS updates a hell) 2) Loosing performance 3) Keeping everyone happy, which seems to be hard since I'm taking a beating here :) > Good luck and have fun!
