SMARTY: ${ obj->render} doesn't render anything

Question

Hi All

I'm sending one of my object to smarty like

$smarty->assign('test', new MyObject ) ;
....
$smarty->display('main.tpl');

the MyObject class has a function called 'render' which returns a string representation of itself.

So in main.tpl I want to render this object like

{$test->render()}

Unfortunately it doesn't show anything in the HTML. Any suggestions how I can make this work ?

Thnx a lot Jeanluca

You need to use $smarty->register_object().
