Did you update Smarty?

    I am trying to solve a problem with the {{php}} tag not working in Newscoop 4.2.1. I notice on Smarty's website that this, and some others, were deprecated in Smarty 3.1. So my question is: was Smarty upgraded between Newscoop 4.2 and Newscoop 4.2.1, without using SmartyBC?

    {{ $smarty.version }} tells me Smarty-3.0.9, so the deprecated features should still be available. What else could be causing this?

    Hey, we don't use BC and php tags are disabled by default. 
    You can enable it manualy with smarty security_settings.

    So the default was changed in Newscoop 4.2.1. You need to change http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/newscoop-42-cookbook/using-javascript-and-php-in-templates/ because it describes how it worked in Newscoop 4.2.

    How can I make that change? What files would I need to edit?

    I added this line in template_engine/classes/CampTemplate.php, in the __construct() function:
    $this->allow_php_tag = true;

    The {{php}} tags in my template are now working.

    Hi Sebastian,

    Can you give a full listing of a __construct() function with line "$this->allow_php_tag = true;"...

    Because I tried and get the error:

    1024:Newscoop:4.2:Smarty.class.php:697 Error String: Undefined property: CampTemplate::$allow_php_tag
    Error ID:
