I am having trouble linking my tpl's to my php files.

Say I have a customer/main/name1.tpl

In the customer/home_main.tpl all I need to do is add

{elseif $main eq "name1"}
{include file="customer/main/name1.tpl"}

and in the php file I want that tpl to use add

$smarty->assign("main","name1");

Then that tpl should work off that php file right? Thats what I have and it doesnt work. If I put my tpl code in categories.tpl and my php code in categories.php all my codes work though so I am assuming its a linking issue and not a coding issue.

Please let me know if I am missing something this has been troubling me for like a week now and I cant seem to find the solution anywhere. I have searched online, on this forum and the smarty manual and I cannot find it anywhere.

I was working with this issue last week, finally I came up with a Simple Random Quote mod.

Take a look, it might guide you a bit:
