Were you able to isolate the problem any further?
- the flashdata is getting to the controller
- is it getting to a basic view, without smarty?

Outside of the flashdata, the other session data in the smarty variables are available?

[eluser]Tom Schlick[/eluser]
i can pass data such as userID (which i set) and can retrive it and set it with smarty tags without a problem. i did an initial test to see if it will pass data to a normal page without smarty and i had no luck.

here is the code i tried:
controller code:

Code:

<?php

class Blog extends Controller
{

    function Blog()
    {
        parent::Controller();
            //Load the language file
             $this->lang->load('blog', $this->config->item('language_code'));    
        if(!$this->user_library->isLoggedIn())
        {
            redirect('user/login');
            //log_message("debug", "USERNAME: logged in");
        }    
    }
    function test()
    {
        $this->session->set_flashdata('info', "Hello this is information you need to know");
        $this->load->view('test.php');
    }
}
?>

and the view:

Code:

<h1>&lt;?php echo $this->session->userdata('info');?&gt;</h1>

so it seems that it doesnt like to pass the data to any views? but it does get to the controllers and such...

I don't think the flashdata would work there, it would available on the next server request.

This should work:

Code:

class Test extends Controller
{

    function Test()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        $this->session->set_flashdata('info', "Hello this is information you need to know");
    redirect('blog/test');
    }

}
?>

class Blog extends Controller
{

    function Blog()
    {
        parent::Controller();
            //Load the language file
             $this->lang->load('blog', $this->config->item('language_code'));    
        if(!$this->user_library->isLoggedIn())
        {
            redirect('user/login');
            //log_message("debug", "USERNAME: logged in");
        }    
    }
    function test()
    {

        $this->load->view('test.php');
    }
}
?>

the view (note: flashdata not userdata):

Code:

<h1>&lt;?php echo $this->session->flashdata('item');?&gt;</h1>

Out of curiosity, I am not sure if this is a mistake or not just from pasting things around, but flash data is suppose to be read using the flashdata() method.

Code:

<h1>&lt;?php echo $this->session->flashdata('info');?&gt;</h1>

EDIT: Sniped ;-)

ok it does work. i didnt realize in the test i was calling it as userdata instead of flashdata and there was no redirect. so it works without smarty but i dont understand why smarty would be an issue because the other data does pass such as userID and email that we set as session data when a user logs in
