smarty error where there is no errors

Question

I get this error sometimes

[28-Mar-2011 14:22:20] PHP Notice: function call 'get_template_vars' is unknown or deprecated. in /home/jordan/public_html/includes/smrty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_wrapper.php on line 57

but I do not use this function in ANY php file, and it does not exist in any php file in the project (opened all php files and with np++ and searched through all of them)

However, why does this error appears in the error log, and how to fix it?

I use smarty 3.0

Thanks

First, make sure you are using the most recent, stable version of Smarty. The error you are getting is from Smarty trying to convert older, Smarty2 style functions to the new Smarty3 style. This could be in your code or in template tags, plugins, etc. To find the culprit, try throwing in a debug_backtrace() in the the convert() method of smarty_internal_wrapper.php
