Smarty: get the current physical file path

Question

In Smarty, is there a way to retrieve the current physical path of the template file?

I'm looking for the Smarty equivalent of the PHP __FILE__ super-variable.

(I'm sure that this question must have been asked before, but I can't for the life of me find it. Or maybe there's a good reason it hasn't been asked!?)

Answer 1

Have a look at the {$smarty} reserved variable.

• You can get constants, using {$smarty.const.CONST_NAME}, but that will give you the compiled file's path in the case of __FILE__
• You can get separate the directory & the file, using {$smarty.current_dir} & {$smarty.template}
