Hi to you all...

I'm a new user of Smarty and I tried developping a plugin (function)...

I followed the naming rules and placed the file in my plugins direct ory...

However, when I call this plugin in a template, it doesn't work ! The name of the plugin appears instead of the result...

I developped a modifier plugin and this one works...

Strange...

Can anyone help me ?

THX

After some tests I found the solution to my problem...and by the same time I think I've found a bug in smarty...

Here it is !

The function plugin I was trying to create was a derivate version of html_table...

So I copied the file smarty.function.html_table.php to smarty.function.html_tablev2.php. Then I changed the name of the function inside my new file to smarty_html_tablev2.

At template execution the only thing I can see is html_tablev2...instead of the table.

Then I had the idea of changing names to something like"test". The new file name was smarty.function.test.php and the corresponding function test.php.

With this name, It works, I obtain the table just as with html_table function.

Later I found that if two plugins have names that begin with the same string (e.g. html_table and html_tablev2), the function with the longest name cannot be used...

Seems like a bug... Need more testing to be sure...
