Smarty: Recompiling File Resource

  This hack is supposed to help using regular file-based templates without writing to compiled_c directory. This should only be used in installers or similar!

class RecompilingFileResource extends Smarty_Internal_Resource_File {

    }

$smarty = new Smarty();
// overwrite internal file handler with the one making everything recompile every time
