Handling Smarty Email Error

Article Topics: Emails, Smarty

When attempting to send an email, you or your recipients receive an email or a log warning containing the following Smarty error message:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "var:body" in /var/www/nats/Smarty-2.6.7/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1083

This error occurs when an email template was created or queued in the Mass Mailing Admin without any body content (the email body is completely empty).

To resolve this:

1. Navigate to the Mailing Management page.

2. Select the Email producing the error.

3. Ensure both the Plain Text and/or HTML body fields contain content.

4. Save your changes, then resend or test the mailing.
