Re: XML ver feed - updated

Maybe I should explain the underlying reasoning so is real like problem! (and I don't use caching much).. and some pseudo code.. I maintain a lot of "brochure static" web sites as well as all the total web 1.0+ applications ones with db/soap etc which I fathered and baby sit.. and host them as well with me own application's on a virtual server and use a shared compile_dir. THere are other ftp sites and VPN's etc Then uploading/upgrading I have no problems with generally just replacing libs with new eg ADODB/phpmailer and the olde Smarty lib with new.. Its not likely to break all on the php level. .compile .. then yes One of the original bummers/mistakes/shit was to include a SMARTY_DIR = Smarty/libs/*. ie no VER in path as per extracted tarball (wind no symb) The problem there was that the update of the "engine" to a site did not update or recompile the templates and they went mad SO I use the following construct define('SITE_KEY', 'Some-Wb-siteSite'); and compile with define('SMARTY_DIR','/lib.etc.php'); require_once(smarty); define('SMARTY_VERSION', $smarty->version() ); $smarty->compile_dir = '/path to shared/dir/'; $smarty->compile_id = SITE_KEY.SMARTY_VERSION; All the above is in a common_config.inc.php file. now what I almost got working is a script that will get the latest smarty and then nuke the olde compiled templates when the version changes As well it auto replaces the path.. to smarty version as a define() I got Ten Smarty-2* dirs atmo so want to resolve this by visit all the sites once and then implement a more automatic method ./smarty_update.sh Detected version x.y.z. in /here/path/ Latest: Latest smart version is Smarty-{$REMOTE_VERSION}? Do you want to download an install latest version ? Y ; What this means at the end of the day is the smarty-installer script I suppose. Hope it makes sense pedro morgan Pedro wrote:

Would it be possible to create simple file on the smarty.php.net server that "contains" the current version... eg smarty-ver.txt and the contents are stable=2.6.789 This would be very useful as am working on an install script that either snaphot's or fetches tarball (and its working locally in a hyp situation prototype) Part of that action is that it "recompiles" templates and can flush case on change etc within an application. even cleverer would be rss/xml but for my purpose's that would be helpful to the max. Am I talking outta my ass ? Pete
