Thread:Extension talk:Widgets/Smarty compatibility

While upgrading Widgets from 1.0 to 1.1 we also upgraded to the latest Smarty release (3.1.19), installation notes say so.

After that all pages with widgets were showing "Error in widget ". Also no widgets appeared in the compiled templates folder, nor for widgets already existing on the wiki before the upgrade neither new ones added after the upgrade for testing.

Changing folder permissions, purging chache, etc didn't change anything. But after switching to an older Smarty version (3.1.7) everything works as expected.

This occured on MW 1.22.1, PHP 5.3.3.
