Unable to assign global scope variables

[machavity]

I'm running the latest from the repo pull and have run across a problem. It manifested itself in being unable to pull in a subtemplate. What was odd is that the path, which relies on an assigned global variable, was being assigned in another previous subtemplate. This assignment works fine in 3.1.17 but appears to no longer work in the current version of Smarty

SubTemplate 1
{assign var="product_template" value="$shareddir/Views/Product" scope="global"}

SubTemplate 2 (called after Template 1)
{$product_template}

Produces

Notice: Undefined index: product_template

If I assign it in each template it works... but this defeats the purpose

{assign var="product_template" value="$shareddir/Views/Product" scope="global" bubble_up}

for now,
but it will be reworked during the next couple of days for BC

Using global scopes is always dangerous as you may loose overview in complex template structures.

In your case the safest solution is

{assign var="product_template" value="$shareddir/Views/Product" scope="parent"}

It will assign the variable just in the calling template, so that it's know when Sub Template 2 is called.

All other variable scopes are not touched.

The fix is now in the master branch.
