Smarty tags in include file

Tripp,
I recommend you to have a look at the following article:

http://www.xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/smarty_templates.htm

Tripp,

I have read through this and the docs at the smarty site and cannot figure this out.
I am trying to put the following code in the header file...

[codebox]<table><tr>

<td align="center">Logged as <b>{$username}</b> &nbsp;

<a href="login.php?a=logout">Log out</a>

</td><td style="width:20">&nbsp;</td>

{if $not_a_guest}

<td><a href="changepwd.php">Change password</a></td>

{/if}

</tr></table>

<hr style="size:1;noshade=noshade" />

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr><td>

{if $allow_newuser}

<a href="newuser_list.php">

User</a>

{/if}

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

{if $allow_cars}

<a href="cars_list.php">

cars</a>

{/if}

</td></tr>

</table>[/codebox]
and the output on the page looks like this on the web page...
Logged as {$username} Log out {if $not_a_guest} Change password {/if}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{if $allow_newuser} User {/if}

{if $allow_job} Jobs {/if}
Is it possible to put this in the header file?
Also, is it possible to put an event in the header file such as ... {doevent name="ListOnLoad"}
Thanks
Tripp

Tripp,
if you want to use your own smarty tags in the header divide your header.php file into two files: header.php and header.htm file and then use smarty tags in the header.htm file.
But I recommend you to use pure PHP in your header. It's more easy.
