Following Smarty vars are available for use in your layouts:

  • {$title} - page title
  • {$keywords} - keywords for use in META tags (from page configuration tab in back-end)
  • {$alttitle} - ???
  • {$canonical_url} - displays (smart) url of a page within a template, can be used to avoid duplicate content
  • {$pt_debug} - will display debug infos. See: Debugging Facilites
  • any includes {$pt_includeX} and content blocks {$pt_blockX} you define in Admin → Layout → Configuration

In future versions (>2.92) you will be able to add your own custom Smarty tags in Layouts by extending the PhenotypePageStandard class and overwrite the display() and render() methods: 

class PhenotypePage extends PhenotypePageStandard
{
    function display($cache=1,$sendHeader=1) {
        global $myPT;
        $myPT->startBuffer();
        parent::display($cache,$sendHeader);
        $html = $myPT->stopBuffer();
        $html = str_replace("#!#logged_in#!#",$logged_in,$html);
	echo $html;
    }
 
    function render($ver_id,$buildcache=0,$editbuffer=0) {
        $mySmarty = new PhenotypeSmarty();
        $mySmarty->assign("logged_in","#!#logged_in#!#");
        return parent::render($ver_id,$buildcache,$editbuffer,$mySmarty);
    }
}
