Re: [google-appengine] Google App Engine php and SMARTY

[Barry Hunter]

Well by default Smarty writes the compiled templates to the file system, (in the templates_c) folder. 

http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/variable.compile.dir.tpl

But on appengine, the filesystem is read only. So smarty won't be able write to the compiled versions. 

You will have to redirect smarty to write the compiled templates (and cached version if use caching!) to somewhere else. 

I know there are plugins for putting the cached files in memcache, bit not sure about the compiled dir. Because it must work by include, it really is expecting filesystem. 

havnt tried it, but it should be possible to use Google Storage for your compiled template directory

This request caused a new process to be started for your application, and thus caused your application code to be loaded for the first time. This request may thus take longer and use more CPU than a typical request for your application.

I'm new to google app engine and SMARTY and I have no idea what to do.

Looking over the smarty documentation, it looks like the template directory can be set by calling setCompileDir: http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.set.compile.dir.tpl . Try setting the compile directory to your Cloud Storage bucket using this path: gs://your_cloud_storage_bucket_name/folder_name
