Add to the top of the constructor

Since you are clling the parent - you also have to extend the original

require_once 'Zend/View.php';
class AkCom_View_Smarty extends Zend_View implements Zend_View_Interface ….

You might need to check if Zend_View_Interface has changed since this was posted though! Regards, Rob... William,

On the setCacheLifetime() function, you use $dir as the variable passing to Smarty, but you're defining it on the function call as $seconds.

I'm a little confused about how to use it (new to the Framework). Have been using Smarty for a few years and it's really hard to go back to all those php tags in the Framework views. How have you set up your plugins and templates directories? How do you use this class within the MVC framework (controllers/models/views)? Any time for an example? Thanks. Great article.

As you can tell, I use Smarty as a black box and should have looked up the source for the bits I didn't know. I've fixed it in <a href="http://svn.akrabat.com/svnvi.pl?file=Smarty.php&repos=AkCom&path=/trunk/library/AkCom/View rel="nofollow">SVN </a> and have updated the code in the post. Regards, Rob...
