Print all variables available in a Smarty template

Question

How do you print all variables available in the context of a Smarty template? Something like the Django debug trace that lists everything being passed.

Thanks

Answer 1

var_dump($Smarty->_tpl_vars);

From the Smarty code :)

Answer 2

Use {debug}:

{debug} dumps the debug console to the page. This works regardless of the debug settings in the php script. Since this gets executed at runtime, this is only able to show the assigned variables; not the templates that are in use. However, you can see all the currently available variables within the scope of a template.
