All the extending of {block} tags -is done at compile time and the parent and child templates are compiled in a single compiled template. -{include} subtemplate could also {block} tags. Such subtemplate could not compiled by it's own because -it could be used in other context where the {block} extended with a different result. For that reasion -the compiled code of {include} subtemplates gets also merged in compiled inheritance template. - -Merging the code into a single compile template has some drawbacks. -1. You could not use variable file names in {include} Smarty would use the {include} of compilation time. -2. You could not use individual compile_id in {include} -3. Seperate caching of subtemplate was not possible -4. Any change of the template directory structure between calls was not necessarily seen. - -Starting with 3.1.15 some of the above conditions got checked and resulted in an exception. It turned out -that a couple of users did use some of above and now got exceptions. - -To resolve this starting with 3.1.16 there is a new configuration parameter $inheritance_merge_compiled_includes. -For most backward compatibility its default setting is true. -With this setting all {include} subtemplate will be merge into the compiled inheritance template, but the above cases -could be rejected by exception. - - -If $smarty->inheritance_merge_compiled_includes = false; {include} subtemplate will not be merged. -You must now manually merge all {include} subtemplate which do contain {block} tags. This is done by setting the "inline" option. -{include file='foo.bar' inline} - -1. In case of a variable file name like {include file=$foo inline} you must use the variable in a compile_id $smarty->compile_id = $foo; -2. If you use individual compile_id in {include file='foo.tpl' compile_id=$bar inline} it must be used in the - global compile_id as well $smarty->compile_id = $bar; -3. If call templates with different template_dir configurations and a parent could same named child template from different folders - you must make the folder name part of the compile_id. - - -In the upcomming major release Smarty 3.2 inheritance will no longer be a compile time process. -All restrictions will be then removed. -
