[Bug] Pass a variable from the UDT to the page - not working

[creopard]

I tried the example from
https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/tags/use ... le-to-page

and implemented the UDT in the template.

Code: Select all

{my_udt}
<p>Howdy {$name}!<br />
Hello {$other_name}!</p>

This works great as long as
"Settings - Global Settings" -> "Smarty Settings" -> "Enable Smarty Caching" is set to "No".

However if you set that option to "Yes" logout and clear your browser cache(!), you'll see, that
{my_udt}
will be empty or not processed!

It seems that the information beside "Enable Smarty Caching" is not correct any more:

Note: When smarty caching is enabled, global content blocks (GCBs) are always cached by smarty, and user defined tags (UDTs) are never cached.

Probably something that changed in recent versions of Smarty. I think we're removing the Smarty caching setting from future releases anyway, it's always caused more problems than it's solved.
