Allow PHP scripts in smarty template

[John-nl]

I wan't to allow php scripts within a smarty template with {php} //my php code {/php} tags.

When i use  these tags get this smarty error: {php}{/php} tags not allowed. Use SmartyBC to enable them 

I can see the SmartyBC class in the /vendor/smarty folder and have looked into the three smarty config files within the /config folder, But i cannot figure out how to enable SmartBC in Prestashop 1.7.

 

Thanks

You should not use PHP in Smarty. Prestashop pages are split between a controller, several models and several views. PHP stuff belongs in the controller and Smarty/twig stuff in the view. Hacking a way around it is going to cause more frustration in the end.

Continue in the controller if you can and use an override if you are lucky enough to be using the last working version of Prestashop.

PHP was allowed in very old Smarty versions. It is not allowed in the version that Prestashop uses.

Smarty code language is quite flexible and you can do quite a bit of processing with it. But things like database access you need to arrange in the code that calls the template.

Php is allowed in in smarty 3.1.32 with SmartyBC, the version that Prestashop 1.7 uses. I know that i should use MVC. 

I would appreciate an answer to my original question.

If you are aware about the MVC then not sure why you want to execute the PHP in smarty.

Anyway, Edit the config/smarty.config.inc.php & replace the following line.

$smarty = new Smarty();

to

$smarty = new SmartyBC();

 

I hope it will help.

Thanks for you're answer

I have changed new Smarty() to newSmartyBC()  on line 34 in config/smarty.config.inc.php

But still receive the message {php}{/php} tags not allowed. Use SmartyBC to enable them

Any suggestions?
