Problems Installing Smarty Engine/ Themes
smikey - May 10, 2006 - 08:12
howdy all;
i'm trying to install the bluemarine_smarty theme. I've tried installing the smarty on my site at the root level as a test, and was able to get the php script that they supply in the quick install to work.
however, upon moving the smarty directory into the engines directory in drupal , and modifying the index.php doc to reflect the move, i'm unable to view the smarty based theme after uploading to the "themes" directory.
Here's what index.php look like. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you...
<?php
// put full path to Smarty.class.php
require('/mnt/websites/911media/docs/cms/themes/engines/smarty/Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->template_dir = '/www.911media.org/cms/themes/engines/smarty/templates';
$smarty->compile_dir = '/www.911media.org/cms/themes/engines/smarty/templates_c';
$smarty->cache_dir = '/www.911media.org/cms/themes/engines/smarty/cache';
$smarty->config_dir = '/www.911media.org/cms/themes/engines/smarty/configs';
$smarty->assign('name', 'Ned');
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
?>
What did you do?
Installation of Smarty theme engine is very simple...
Download this package, extract it to your
themes/enginesdirectory and copy the smarty theme of your choice to yourthemes/directory.Go to settings > themes and you should see the installed smarty theme(s).
No need to edit any php file.
Note: Make sure your templates_c directory is writable by the webserver process. It is located in
themes/engines/smarty/templates_c/.Daniel F. Kudwien

Agreed
There's instructions that say to keep the engine file in a temp location, then to copy the LIB directory out. That must be the lacking part, because I had the same problem.
