smarty {php} function

[jshew]

Your template system is built on Smarty, but I noticed the built-in {php} function does not work. Is there a reason this is disabled?

Thanks.

Hello John,

I'll ask our developers to have a look at this and give their opinion on it. Thanks for bringing this up.

The reason to disable the {php} tag: is security. 

If you would like to enable it please open the system/classes/TemplateProcessor.php file and change line 29

Code:

$this->security = true;

to

Code:

$this->security = false;

Let me know if it worked.

Perfect! Thanks for the follow-up.

For anyone wondering how to insert PHP script into the templates, follow the previously mentioned directions to enable the templating engine’s {php} function. Then use the following code to insert your script:

Code:

{php}
Your php script here...
{/php}

There's no need use “<?” and “?>” opening and closing tags. BEWARE, if you don't know what you are doing you may break the iauto software application.
