Session variables in smarty with CI

[eluser]dmitrybelyakov[/eluser]
What smarty features do you intend to use? After some exploration i (yet) see no way to acces session directly from smarty templates.
So you still need to pass session data to smarty template somehow.

You can do it in several ways:


1. In your controllers like this:

Code:

$data['session']=$this->session->userdata;
$this->smarty_parser->parse("smarty.php", $data);

Or if you don't whant to do it each time in your controllers, you can move this to your smarty wrapper class.

2. In your smarty wrapper (smarty_parser.php) like this:

Code:

function parse($template, $data, $return = FALSE)
    {      
        if ($template == '') return FALSE;
        $CI =& get_instance();
        
        /* here it goes */
        $data['session']=$CI->session->userdata;
        
        
       ...
    }

Then you can access all your session data in templates by using

Code:

{$session.session_id}

Hope that helps :-)
