Smarty variable variables don't validate in template. Bug?

[noosphere]

Hello,
I had variable variables in Smarty template with CMSMS 1.9 and worked fine.
After upgrading to 1.11 they're not accepted. The template would not vaildate. Then it randomly validated!
I pasted the full template's source in phpMyAdmin and it's fine.
But still the Apply button would not allow me to save changes.

This is the "bad" fully Smarty-valid code:

Code: Select all

{section name=loop start=1 loop=$created[nu].pcs}
{assign var = 'idx' value = "pc`$smarty.section.loop.index`"}
{$created[nu].$idx}
{/section}

Hope you can fix it

Code: Select all

"pc`$smarty.section.loop.index`"

Not knowing much about SMARTY I'd say the ` is incorrect.
To me it looks strange to have single quotation marks within double quotation marks.
And most of all you should not use ` but '.

Did you upgrade to 1.11 or to 1.11.3

only in case of 1.11.3 you can read Stikki's post here http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 64#p290164

Hi,

Backticks are necessary if the variable name contains a period(.):

Embedding Vars in Double Quotes

1. Smarty will recognize assigned variables embedded in "double quotes" so long as the variable name contains only numbers, letters and under_scores. See naming for more detail.
2. With any other characters, for example a period(.) or $object->reference, then the variable must be surrounded by `backticks`.
3. In addition Smarty3 does allow embedded Smarty tags in double quoted strings. This is useful if you want to include variables with modifiers, plugin or PHP function results.

Thank you for replying. It seems this issue is related to what Stikki's being working in SVN.
Yes, version is 1.11.3. I'll check new version asap.

Have a nice day all.

PS:

Code: Select all

"pc`$smarty.section.loop.index`"

This is for you then
