Interesting issue: smarty keeps defaulting to "Force Compilation"

[mysterion]

When I set the smarty settings to "Never Compile.." or "Recompile if templates have been updated" it stays like this for a while but then, weirdly.. within 24hrs if I go back into the admin I see that smarty has once again defaulted to "Force Compilation" (with resulting slow load times).

 

Any idea what might be causing this - or how I could force/hard-code the setting in place?

 

Many thanks

I would change it in the database at this point, locate PS_SMARTY_FORCE_COMPILE and see its value. It will probably be 2, you can set it to 0 for never, or 1 when files change.

Thanks Nemo - I'll try that but I don't appear to have table with that name! Where in the DB should that be?

it's in ps_configuration

That's done - I'll watch with curiosity to see if it makes this setting stick

 

Many thanks for your help Nemo1

Well it took a week (which is an improvement) but it finally reset itself back to "Force Compilation". Any other suggestions as to how I might hard-code this in place?
