Cannot redeclare function

[helmut2509]

In one of my templates I had a function and as this function serves also general purposes I saved it in an external functions.php.

This functions.php was included_once in the template.

But then I got an error: Cannot redeclare function.. previously declared in /var/www/..../site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/templates/

I deleted this cache folder, but to no avail :-((

So for the moment I see no other solution than to put again the function into the template file...

Any suggestions?

Hi!

Can you try to use

$config->paths->templates

in your include_once.

to what avail? the file functions.php apparently exists and is being loaded.

Any chance it being a namespace issue? eg.:

The cache status of all  templates is already set to  "disabled". What do you mean by *namespace issue*?  What do I have to check?

You can find out more about namespaces in ProcessWire 3.x  here:

If you cannot figure it out, please provide some more details of your template setup.

Sorry if my answer was not relative to your problem. The main reason why I supposed it to you was the fact that I had the very similar issue some time ago. The problem was that my template files had been compiled into several folders and to solve it I had to use  

$config->paths->templates . "file"
