How to recompile templates and phrases

[Kentaurus]

The following code snippet will "force" to recompile all templates and phrases

For phrases (change languageId to yours)

    $p = new XenForo_Model_Phrase();
    $p->compileAllPhrasesInLanguage(1);

For templates

    $t = new XenForo_Model_Template();
    $t->compileAllTemplates();

If you just need to run it for whatever reason you could add it in index.php just before fc->run()

Very nice! Nice find and kind of you to share. This fixed one of my scripts, that's for sure

I am currently digging into the code. Thankfully I have worked on another Zend-based project before otherwise I wouldn't understand a thing ... I'll try to share what I can. Having it highly decoupled and as easy as instantiating a class and running a method is really nice actually.

Thank you very much for the useful information! It will help me a lot in my work on my project. Thanks once again for sharing!

When would i need this?

Very good question, it's a bit unclear to me as well, can the OP perhaps give a few examples of when you have to run it?

If you ever export templates through files (not necessarily through WebDav, all though, I'm looking at a method to get webDAV to allow SVN support and write an article up on it. ), and then just import them to the database via a query, they'd need recompiled. And... I'm pretty sure if you called a template and did any runtime editing (is that even possible?), you would need to recompile it.

I did some manual changes to the xf_phrase and xf_phrase_compiled tables, after that, I had to recompile all the templates to propagate the changes.

Also, if you are writing a hack, you may come across an scenario in which this is needed.
