smarty template partial caching example tutorial

require('smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new smarty;
$smarty->caching = true;
function smarty_block_dynamic($param, $content, &$smarty) {
return $content;
}
$smarty->register_block('dynamic', 'smarty_block_dynamic', false);
$smarty->display('index.tpl');

index.tpl Template file:

page created: {"0"|date_format:"%d %h:%m:%s"}
{dynamic}
now is: {"0"|date_format:" %d %h:%m:%s"}
... do other stuff...
{/dynamic}

When this page is reloaded, you will notice that the two dates are different. One is "dynamic" and the other is "static". You can do anything between {dynamic}...{/dynamic} and be sure it won't be cached like the rest of the page.

The above is an example of partial caching of smarty templates. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
