How to implement CI integrated smarty

Advice to a new partner: don't think about how complicated it is, see it again and you'll get it!

What is the purpose of this integration?

Because I have used CI and smarty, so I will say according to their own understanding: The CI framework in the controller, models aspects of doing very well, but in the changeable view I feel that there is no special handling of the view of the Smarty template to do well, so I thought of merging the two, take their long.

1, download the CI framework, smarty template, this will not need me to say more.

2, the Smarty Libs folder copy to the CI third_party folder (in fact, the copy to which folder is irrelevant, as long as the load to it on the line ), and renamed to Smarty;

3. Create a folder in the root directory of CI:

Also, create the smartyplu folder under the CI's Helpers folder

4. Create the smarty.php configuration file under the Configuration folder config of CI and copy the following code into it:

<?php  if (! defined (' BasePath ')) exit (' No Direct script access allowed ');//Specify the relevant folder $config[' Template_dir ']    = APPPATH. ' Views '; $config [' compile_dir ']     = Fcpath. ' Templates_c '; $config [' config_dir ']      = Fcpath. ' Configs '; $config [' cache_dir ']       = Fcpath. ' Cache '; $config [' plugins_dir ']     = APPPATH. ' Helpers/smartyplu ';//$config [' template_ext ']    =;//set cache, default = False$config[' caching ']         = false; $config [' Cache_lifetime ']  =: $config [' auto_literal ']    = false; $config [' left_delimiter ']  = ' <{'; $config [' Right_delimiter '] = '}> ';

5. Create the csmarty.php file in the Libraries folder of CI and copy the following code into it:

<?php if (! defined (' BasePath ')) exit (' No Direct script access allowed '); Require_once (APPPATH. ' Third_party/smarty/smarty.class.php ');//Specify the storage location of the Smarty.class.php hereClass Csmarty extends smarty{protected $CI;p ublic function __construct () {$this->ci = & Get_instance (); $this Ci->load->config (' Smarty ');//Load the Smarty configuration information file hereRelated configuration Item $this->template_dir = $this->ci->config->item (' Template_dir '); $this->compile_dir = $this-&gt ; Ci->config->item (' Compile_dir '); $this->config_dir = $this->ci->config->item (' Config_dir '); $ This->cache_dir = $this->ci->config->item (' Cache_dir '); $this->plugins_dir = $this->ci->conf Ig->item (' Plugins_dir ');//$this->template_ext = $this->ci->config->item (' Template_ext '); $this- >caching = $this->ci->config->item (' caching '); $this->cache_lifetime = $this->ci->config->        Item (' Cache_lifetime '); $this->auto_literal = $this->ci->config->item (' auto_literal ');        $this->left_delimiter = $this->ci->config->item (' Left_delimiter ');        $this->right_delimiter = $this->ci->config->item (' Right_delimiter ');        Set the encoding format and time zone header ("Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8"); Date_default_timezone_set (' UTC ');}}

6, the start of Smarty added to the CI self-boot file autoload.php file:

$autoload [' libraries '] = Array (' Csmarty ');

7, Next is used in CI, will be in CI through $this->load->view ("index", $data) mode load view changed to Smarty Way:

$this->csmarty->assign (' data ', $data); $this->csmarty->display (' index.html ');

PS: When using the Smarty method, there are some problems on the path.
