if ( ! class_exists('MySmarty')) { require_once(APPPATH.'libraries/MySmarty'.EXT); } $obj =& get_instance(); $obj->mysmarty = new MySmarty(); $obj->ci_is_loaded[] = 'mysmarty'; ?>

create one file named ‘applications/libraries/MySmarty.php’ paste following in the class :

class MySmarty extends Smarty{ function __construct() { $this->compile_dir = APPPATH . "views/templates_c"; $this->template_dir = APPPATH . "views/ templates"; log_message('debug', "Smarty Class Initialized"); } } ?>
