[Cartoweb-users] Retrieving a Smarty Variable from cartoclient.tpl and writing its contents to a html file

Mon Nov 13 05:34:06 EST 2006

Oliver,

Yes, it seems more reasonable to do that way (the one
you suggested), since I've seen that this issue has
not been solved yet (I found some Smarty discussions
regarding this, and even at their official FAQ
session, this question is unanswered).

I'll try it, and as soon as I get it running, I'll
post the results!

Thank you!
