How to assign smarty variable in PHPBB?

Hi,

Right basically i have a file which shows the last 5 posts/threads. My problem is that i want to include it in the overall_footer.tpl which is not a PHP file.

At the moment to get the script to work i am just including the files like:

<?php include "latestposts.php"; ?>

Code (markup):

Which works but what i need to to assign the results to a smarty variable so i can insert into overall_footer.tpl

Cheers,
Adam

 

$template->assign_vars(array("yummy"=>"mmm... cake"));

 

How would i then display this?

{yummy} ?

 

only if you like cake . Yes thats how it should be done. It is untested but it should work. Do refer to the code in viewtopic.php. You'll find it variables assigned in this fashion.
