write a script that searches through $smarty->template_dir and call
$smarty->fetch() for each template found.

$smarty->compile_check = false;

This will work just fine for templates that are not influenced by GET or
POST requests.  But, for GET/POST "pre-caching/pre-compiling" you should
look at a tool like curl or better, wget.

I usually just kick off a wget crawl using a user:pass combo and the
client's site gets compiled and cached.

check out the wiki for more info:

Most smarty templates shouldnt be affected by GET/POST requests at
compile time, as that only affects what comes out of the templates at
runtime. If you're only looking to compile the templates into PHP
code, theres nothing wrong with calling fetch() in a loop. Its only if
you're caching that you need to think about output.

yes. i forgot to mention you should set $smarty->caching=false in your
recompile-all-templates-script regardless if you use caching on the
real site or not.

Thanks for the clarifications, guys...

However, if you use multiple compile_ids (e.g., one per client based on
login info) it *would* have an impact, right?. That's the way I work with
compiled scripts because I need to be able to update/clear one client's code
base without affecting the others.

Am I correct in this approach? Or am I making work for myself?

That really depends on the nature of your scripts. If the compiled php
source itself will change according to the user details, then its
fine, however if the source stays the same and the input/output mearly
changes based on assigned information (as happens 99% of the time)
then having multiple compiled copies would just waste disk space +
time and you could probably just set a cache_id.

The rule doesn't hold true always though, so unless you've got a
thousand templates wasting disk space, you're better off sticking with
what works :)
