Smarty

Okay. I'm obviously missing something here as regards Smarty 3 delimiter handling.

Delimiters are default ({ and }).
Template variable $a = 'AAAA'
Template contains {{$a}}
I would expect the out ...

Unfortunately, changing the old system is out of the question.
I have to work within those boundaries.
Even if I decided to try, the "process" to approve and release such changes could tak ...

As I mentioned in my original post, I'm working with an older system.
My tags need to call functions in that system.
There are many cases where there is a my_whatever() function and a get_my_whateve ...

Yes, I know I can implement assign tags (is there a way to make it automatic?).

I would like to let the designers use short-hand assignments, though.

It would sometimes be very handy if there was a flag that could be checked or a method that could be called that would indicate whether the results of the current compiler tag will be assigned to a va ...

Drat.

I'm working with an underlying system that I can't change.
Certain tag implementations need to call a different function if the result will be assigned to a variable.

Is there any way for a compiler tag function to determine whether it is within a "short-hand assignment"?

Example:
{$x = {myCompilerTag}}

Is there any way for the function that imple ...

Thanks for all of your help. Very Happy

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean about the $params array.
Could please expand upon that?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

As a note, I don't see any reference to the close version of a tag at

But with this info I should be able to ...

Question one: Is it currently possible to create a block compiler function (e.g., {myTag}...{/myTag}) with Smarty 3?

Question two: If so, where can I find documentation and/or examples of how to do ...

Great! Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response!

using empty() did the trick.

Would it be worthwhile to make a feature request for shorthand attributes in function plugins?

Thanks

I have a number of functions that accept a single string parameter and return a value associated with that string (e.g., the option named 'siteName').

I would like to provide Smarty function plugin ...

Okay. Posted this in the Frameworks forum and got zero responses. Thought I'd try it here.

I see that the last content management system discussion was some time ago.
I'd like to re-open the discu ...
