variables loaded from config files

variables that are loaded from the config files are referenced by enclosing them within hash marks (#), or with the smarty variable $smarty.config. the second syntax is useful for embedding into quoted attribute values.

example 4-5. config variables

foo.conf: 

pagetitle = "this is mine" bodybgcolor = "#eeeeee" tablebordersize = "3" tablebgcolor = "#bbbbbb" rowbgcolor = "#cccccc"

index.tpl: 

{config_load file="foo.conf"} <html> <title>{#pagetitle#}</title> <body bgcolor="{#bodybgcolor#}"> <table border="{#tablebordersize#}" bgcolor="{#tablebgcolor#}"> <tr bgcolor="{#rowbgcolor#}"> 	<td>first</td> 	<td>last</td> 	<td>address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

index.tpl: (alternate syntax) 

{config_load file="foo.conf"} <html> <title>{$smarty.config.pagetitle}</title> <body bgcolor="{$smarty.config.bodybgcolor}"> <table border="{$smarty.config.tablebordersize}" bgcolor="{$smarty.config.tablebgcolor}"> <tr bgcolor="{$smarty.config.rowbgcolor}"> 	<td>first</td> 	<td>last</td> 	<td>address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

this will output for both examples: 

<html> <title>this is mine</title> <body bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <table border="3" bgcolor="#bbbbbb"> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> 	<td>first</td> 	<td>last</td> 	<td>address</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

config file variables cannot be used until after they are loaded in from a config file. this procedure is explained later in this document under {config_load}.
