Hello,

I might be a very stupid question, but I'm not able to install the Smarty template engine. On a Smarty template file (*.tpl) the info box appears, but when I click Install Now the hourglass appears but nothing happens after it. I waited for about an hour (cooking, eating).

I couldn't find a log file.
I'm working with Visual Studio 2017 Community edition, I'm in the trial license and I haven't installed Xdebug.

Another thing that I came across is that all classes defined in the include_path defined in the php.ini (or in the project properties) are not recognized.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for trying our tools. Please take a look into VS's Output Window, there should be more details. The installation of the Smarty template engine should take a second.

Usually you don't either have a PHP yet (which is installed for you when you start a project for the first time) or a "composer install" failed for some reason.

We'll check the include_path; only those in project's properties should work. Are you trying relative or absolute paths?

Thanks,
Jakub

Hello Jakub,

How could I miss the output window???

Now I could see Composer was not installed, but although it does automatically it could not because I had not enabled the opensll extension in the php.ini. In the project properties I also found the delimiters for Smarty, which I actually had defined in a base class.

Further, I did not notice that if a file is already open (.tpl or .php) the intellisense errors do not update after updating the settings. So Smarty errors and Classes in the include path did not disappear. Closing the files and reopening them solved it.

Now it's all working fine. Thanx a lot!!

Greetz, Marc
