[SOLVED] Smarty Template Engine

[justin-white]

Hello,

I am having some serious problems with the Smarty Template Engine. It could be a newbie mistake, I am new with PHP. I am creating my own CMS, and I am using Smarty for the templates. I have got the template laid out, and I created a function to display the 5 most recent posts. I used this to tell smarty what to replace {$pagecontent} with:

 

$smarty->assign('pagecontent',main_content());

 

It doesn't put the code in the correct spot in the template. It shows the content at the top of the page. Can somebody help me get it into the correct spot?

 

Thanks much!!!

You want us to magically know the problem from 1 line of code?

I've looked further on the internet and found the solution, although I was up until 3AM  .

 

You have to register the function with smarty.

 

$smarty->register_function('tagname','function_name');

 

Then you can use the function by using this in the template:

 

{tagname}
