{assign_by_ref} or sth. similar in a template

[Benjamin Bolbach-2]

 Hi folks,  

  sorry for the maybe misleading subject. My problem is, I want to
display a variable in a template, that's value  

 is assigned later in the template, e.g.  
 {$mytext}  

 {include file="test.tpl}  
 test.tpl contains anywhere  
 {assign var="mytext" value="sometexthere"}  
 but this does not work, with a test to add {$mytext} behind the
assignline, show, that the vriable only exists after the assignment.


 so the question is is there something like a assign_by_ref inside
the template, where the var is assigned before it gets filled with
the real content  

 and filled with the real content later?  
 thx

Hi Ben,

To my knowledge you can't do that. Smarty is executed in a linear manner
(same as php - I do not think your example would work in php either).

I think I imagine your problem - you would like to display something
let's say at the top of the page, but you do not have access to it until
later. I guess, if this is the case, you will need some architectural
decision, which to provide you with this information at an earlier point.

All the best,
Iv
