Hello,

if you want to iterate over an array holding propel objects: it works.

I read your question on the propel list and I am not sure if I understood
it correctly. Is it your intention to "convert" values of propel objects
into an multidimensional-array?

Anyway, this works:

{foreach from=$USER_ARRAY item=USER}
{$USER->getName}<br/>
{/foreach}

(And this will not work: {$USER->getCompany()->getName()} )
