phileTemplateSmarty

Smarty(version 3.1.15 included) template parser for PhileCMS

1.1 Installation (composer)

php composer.phar require phile/template-smarty:*

1.2 Installation (Download)

  • Install the latest version of Phile
  • Clone this repo into plugins/phile/templateSmarty

2. Activation

After you have installed the plugin. You need to add the following line to your config.php file:

$config['plugins']['phile\\templateSmarty'] = array('active' => true);

Modify your config.php file:

$config['plugins'] = array(
  // disable the Twig template engine
  'phile\\templateTwig' => array('active' => false),
  // enable the Smarty template engine
  'phile\\templateSmarty' => array('active' => true)
);

Disclaimer

Due to the nature of the Page model in Phile, and the fact that Smarty doesn't like objects, there are some slightly different properties available to the pages array.

  • title
  • url
  • content
  • meta

This covers most of the things that the pages array covers in Twig.

Not a drop in replacement for Twig

If you have not used Smarty before, please read the docs because there are a few differences in syntax, and philosophy, over Twig.

I have included an index.tpl file to show how to recreate the index page from the default theme.

Why use this over Twig

  • You prefer Smarty syntax/style/philosophy
  • Smarty has a large community than Twig (Smarty is older)
  • Some argue Smarty is faster than Twig
