I'm having a little trouble with the {dynamic} block found in the documentation. I have a super-template that calls a sub-template like:

{include file="myfile.tpl" var1=$varVal}

Inside myfile.tpl, I have a block of code that is dynamic, like:
{dynamic} This is dynamic {$var1} {/dynamic}

The strange thing is that $varVal is only echoed the FIRST time the page is compliled/cached, but not on subsequent page requests. The super template has no trouble echoing $varVal on subsequent loads, so I know it's not a problem with variable assignment. I'm stumped.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

think of {$var1}like <?php echo $var1; ?>

Therefore when the page is cached, there is no variable passed into the dynamic function, so there is no variable to echo.

Note the portion on "cache_attrs". It is a limited solution but you should be able to use it to help you in your situation. Worst-case, you can write a custom plugin that retireves values from the application and is called from the dynamic block.
