Simple smarty function for use in template, has class_exist error?

[atlowl]

Having trouble following the very simple example for creating a function to use in my template. I'm hoping in the end to just be able to use this as a means to get data for a menu.

I've butchered the example a little but this is only to get it working. I created a function.load_ticker.php file in the plugins directory (even did a getPluginsDir() to make sure it's the right path)

function smarty_function_load_ticker($params, $smarty)
{
  // assign template variable
  $smarty->assign('test', '123');
}

So then in my shortcuts.tpl file i have

{load_ticker} {$test}

Then i get lots of the following...

Array ( [0] => /var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/plugins/ ) #0 __my_app_autoload(Smarty_Internal_Compile_Load_Ticker) #1 spl_autoload_call(Smarty_Internal_Compile_Load_Ticker) #2 class_exists(Smarty_Internal_Compile_Load_Ticker) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:770] #3 Smarty_Internal_TemplateCompilerBase->getTagCompiler(load_ticker) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:747] #4 Smarty_Internal_TemplateCompilerBase->callTagCompiler(load_ticker, Array (), Array ()) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:1486] #5 Smarty_Internal_TemplateCompilerBase->compileTag2(load_ticker, Array (), Array ()) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:550] #6 Smarty_Internal_TemplateCompilerBase->compileTag(load_ticker, Array ()) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templateparser.php:2104] #7 Smarty_Internal_Templateparser->yy_r12() called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templateparser.php:2777] #8 Smarty_Internal_Templateparser->yy_reduce(12) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templateparser.php:2872] #9 Smarty_Internal_Templateparser->doParse(3, ) called at [/var/www/html/my_app/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_smartytemplatecompiler.php:128] #10 Smarty_Internal_SmartyTemplateCompiler->doCompile( {include file="sidebar.tpl"} {load_ticker} {$test}

My smarty version is 4.3.0 and my php version is 7.2 (which i know is old, maybe that's the problem?)

Any pointers?

Thanks

You have posted the stack trace, bur I dont see the actual exception message. Do you have that?

In the stacktrace, I notice "__my_app_autoload". Might that be part of the problem?

No sorry wisskid, i'm not sure i can find it. The output is just a mess of variables eg..

I've been trying to dumb it down my project a little to maybe narrow it down? but i don't think there's anything else to stop it working?

I'm not sure about the __my_app_autoload ? Is there something i should turn off / on? Thanks

Ah - sorted it. There was an autoload.php file doing some funny stuff. Thanks for the pointer!
