Here is a  list of tips and tricks you can use during developing/integrating HostBill templates.

Controlling Smarty library behaviour through config.php file

...

HostBill configuration file (includes/config.php) allows to override some Smarty library settings, without the need to modify underlying library code. Following settings can be overrided:

1. Security settings → PHP_TAGS (ref: https://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/variable.security.settings.tpl )
   To enable use of Smarty {php} tags, add following to bottom of includes/config.php file:

   Wiki Markup
   $config['Smarty.PHP_TAGS']=true;

   
   

2. Trusted directories - to be used with {include_php} tag - (ref: https://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/variable.trusted.dir.tpl )
   To provide array containing list of trusted directories, add  to bottom includes/config.php file:

   Wiki Markup
   $config['Smarty.trusted_dir']=[ '/path/to/first/trusted/directory/', '/path/to/another/trusted/directory/' ];

   
   

3. PHP handling - how Smarty should react php code (within <?php ?> tags) - (ref: https://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/variable.php.handling.tpl )
   Set value below in includes/config.php:

   Wiki Markup
   $config['Smarty.php_handling']=3;

   Following values are available:

   • 0 - Smarty echos tags as-is (default)

   • 1 - Smarty quotes the tags as html entities
   • 2 - Smarty removes the tags from the templates
   • 3 - Smarty will execute the tags as PHP code
