Erm, no. At present I have this function in a Smarty subclass:
//Function takes a template in a string and compiles it through
Smarty
public function compile_string_template($templatestring) {
if($templatestring == '') {
return '';
}
$this->_compile_source('string template', $templatestring,
$source); //Source is passed by reference to be filled in
//Dump compiled version in output buffer
ob_start();
eval('?>' . $source);
$evaled = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $evaled;
}
Obviously inefficient, but functional - this code was from a smarty-
general posting a couple of years ago when I originally asked about
this!
Now I look at it again, the resource plugin looks promising.

As I recall when I was setting this up originally - the problem is
the path - there is no path!

I don't use timestamps anywhere now - always ISO datetimes
(especially now that MySQL 4.1 uses them everywhere), but as you say,
conversion is not a problem. MySQL's SQL cache is my friend ;^)

I think my question is possibly simpler (and dumber!) - when a
template is in a string and the compiled results are too, where do
compiled versions get cached? Still in a local templates_c folder?
back in the DB? in RAM? Is that decision controllable from a plugin too?
