Extends Template Resources
The extends: resource is used to define child/parent relationships for
template inheritance from the PHP script. For details see section of
Template Interitance.
As of Smarty 3.1 the extends: resource may use any available template
resource, including string: and eval:. When templates
from strings are used, make sure they are properly
(url or base64) encoded. Is an eval: resource found within an
inheritance chain, its "don't save a compile file" property is
superseeded by the extends: resource. The templates within an
inheritance chain are not compiled separately, though. Only a single
compiled template will be generated.
Note
Use this when inheritance is required programatically. When inheriting within PHP, it is not obvious from the child template what inheritance took place. If you have a choice, it is normally more flexible and intuitive to handle inheritance chains from within the templates.
<?php
$smarty->display('extends:parent.tpl|child.tpl|grandchild.tpl');
// inheritance from multiple template sources
$smarty->display('extends:db:parent.tpl|file:child.tpl|grandchild.tpl|eval:{block name="fooBazVar_"}hello world{/block}');
?>
