Author Topic: Smarty conflicting with CiviCRM API? (Read 434 times)

I have a stand-alone PHP-project that uses Smarty.
Everything is fine until I started calling the CiviCRM API which is on the same server.

Pseudo_code:
Instantiate Smarty object
Call Smarty methods (works fine)

require '/sites/all/modules/civicrm/api/class.api.php' ;
$civiapi = new civicrm_api3(...);
Do some calls to civiapi (works fine)

Instantiate another Smarty object
Call Smarty methods (this fails with "Call to undefined function..")

I presume that Civi-API instantiates its own Smarty in some way that conflicts with my separate use of Smarty.

Is there a way to "destruct" the Civi-API object or are there something else that I have missed...?

Hi,

You'll need to investigate, might as well be that some session/global variables are in conflict. The crm api doesn't use smarty directly, but quite a few api stuff needs an initialised civi that might conflict

Depending on how perf is important on your specific app, might be better to use the rest api to keep civi completely separate. check out civicrm_api source code, you simply have to initialise differently and should work
