This simple template fails in 3.1.21 but passes in 3.1.20

Just to follow up.... I've attached the code I use to execute smarty (in the test phar app).

It 'finds' a temp directory, and creates a cache and templates_c directory
then instantiates smarty in ...

Smarty experiences various problems when embedded within a PHAR file

Versions prior to 3.1.17 would cause php segfaults in both CLI and web mode particularly if the ioncube loader php (version 4.6) ...

DISREGARD THIS.... it screws up cachable plugins.
Update: Possible solution:

So two of us have been debugging this issue for the past few hours... and dived into the internals of smarty to figure ...

Note that the:

<?php echo $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['foo']->value;?>

stuff is NOT surrounded by Smarty NoCache tags... therefore this variable IS (edited) 'cachable' even though ...

Update: I found one minor issue with my code... the assign() param was passing FALSE, instead of TRUE....

However this has no effect on the outcome.

Here's the new code:

Okay, after further testing and reading (some) of the code. The overridden createTemplate call in the mySmarty class above has no effect.

{myplugin assign='foo'}{$foo}

Where

b: Caching is enabled in smarty
c: 'f ...

This code works great in smarty2.

In smarty2 I have some compiler tags that are implemented as something that looks like a block tag. i.e: {my_tag}{* some smarty code *}{/my_tag}

What they do is generate a PHP 'if' statement bas ...

Okay, I can see how the defaultPluginHandler is called... and that's great. it solves a different problem I was having.

However, what i really need to do is to provide the same dumb plugin (which d ...
