Clear templates and cache

Following on from the opcode posting.... One of the little niggles in upgrading Smarty is having to clear the templates_c and cache directories. The following postings by boots and Jan Rosier seem to resolve the problem. Could this not go in the official Smarty ?? wishfully thinking Pete -------------------------------------------------------------- ## xo boots

In my custom Smarty class, for example, I have it track the version of the files in the cache/compiled directories by writing a version file and comparing it to the running version of Smarty. It will clear the directory on a mismatch (and then rewrite the version file).

-------------------------------------------------------------- ## Jan Rosier I think this has been on the list before, but anyway here is a example howto extend Smarty to do this <?php /** * Template object... * http://smarty.php.net/ */ require_once 'Smarty/2.6.3/Smarty.class.php'; class Smarty_Extension extends Smarty {

    /**
    * Constructor
    *
    * @access   public
    *
    * @return   void
    */
    function Smarty_Extension()
    {
        parent::Smarty();
        $this->checkVersion();
    }

    /**
    * This method checks the current version of Smarty. On different
    * versions the compiled and cached templates are deleted.
    *
    * @access   public
    *
    * @return   void
    */
    function checkVersion()
    {
        $fname = $this->compile_dir . '/.version-' . $this->_version;
        if (!file_exists($fname)) {
            $this->clear_all_cache();
            $this->clear_compiled_tpl();
            touch($fname);
        }
    }

} $smarty = new Smarty_Extension; ?> Just my 2 cent, Jan Rosier
