Hey y'all

I'm writing my own modifier, let's call it foo.
So, somewhere I register that modifier (of course before displaying, and assume that $this is a Smarty object):

you'r mixing two ways here:

you can a) register the modifier explicitely:

function func_foo() { ... }
$this->register('foo', 'func_foo');
[note the function has to be declared or included by yourself]

or you can b) autoload the modifier:

no register-call at all, simply put modifer.[name].php in plugins dir.
the function in it *has to* be named smarty_modifier_[name] then.

but you can not declare it explicitely and make smarty it autoload then.

First, thanks for the swift reply.

Mm'kay, pre/post/outputfilters have to be explicitly loaded, but modifiers not. Okay, got that.

Got it working though, by auto-loading the file modifier.foo.php, with a function called smarty_modifier_foo in it.

Thanks!

modifiers are loaded as soon as they are used in a template.

filters can be announced in $smarty->auto_load_filters and then are loaded on demand.
