Templates from any directory
Templates outside of the $template_dir require the file: template
resource type, followed by the absolute path and name of the
template.
Example 15-7. using templates from any directory // from PHP script
$smarty->display("file:/export/templates/index.tpl");
$smarty->display("file:/path/to/my/templates/menu.tpl");
{* from within Smarty template *}
{include file="file:/usr/local/share/templates/navigation.tpl"} |

Windows Filepaths
If you are using a Windows machine, filepaths usually include a
drive letter (C:) at the beginning of the pathname. Be sure to use
"file:" in the path to avoid namespace conflicts and get the
desired results.
Example 15-8. using templates from windows file paths // from PHP script
$smarty->display("file:C:/export/templates/index.tpl");
$smarty->display("file:F:/path/to/my/templates/menu.tpl");
{* from within Smarty template *}
{include file="file:D:/usr/local/share/templates/navigation.tpl"} |
