Question

i would like to load a smarty tpl partial inside a div with jquery, i got:

js:

function load_new_partial() {

jQuery("#ajax_zone").fadeIn('slow').load('/views/partials/partil.tpl');

}

inside tpl caller:

<a href="#" onclick="load_new_partial();">{$language_array.lang_new_campaign}</a>
<div id="ajax_zone">initial div yadadada</div>

called tpl:

{$user_name_smarty}{$account_array}

I have no problem displaying partial.tpl on clicked, problem is that loaded partial.tpl doesn’t seem to get any of the variables i had already assigned to smarty.

What am i doing wrong?, how do i load a partial and make it have access to the already established smarty variables?

$smarty->assign('user_name_smarty', $user_name_smarty);

Thanks in advance.

If you load it like this, you are loading it as a text-file. What you want it to request a PHP file, that uses that TPL as a template.

Normally:

• Request PHP
• parse TPL (do stuff with variables)
• make html
• Show in browser

Now:

• Request PHP
• parse TPL (if the PHP uses a tpl)
• make html
• show in browser
• browser parses JQuery
• load extra tpl (doesn’t get parsed!)

As you can see, there is no “parse tpl” stap after you load the extra tpl

You could request a PHP file with ajax, and add the result of that request to your div.
