Smarty

[bhadsock]

I am new to Smarty and just installed it on my server and it seems to be working properly. Now, I am trying to use a prefilter for my templates, but I can not get ANY prefilter to work. I made a prefilter to just add a comment to the template called prefilter.test.php and placed it in the plugins directory that is shown below:

<?php

/*
* Smarty plugin
* -------------------------------------------------------------
* Type: prefilter
* Name: test
* Purpose:
* Example:
* Author:
* Version: 1.0
* Date: 10/03/03
* -------------------------------------------------------------
*/

function smarty_prefilter_test($source, &$smarty)
{
return '<!-- Test -->'."\n\n".$source;
}

?>

I then call then load the prefilter using load_prefilter as shown in my test php application:

<?php
//-- Configure smarty template engine
require('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->template_dir = '/www/smarty/test/templates/';
$smarty->compile_dir = '/www/smarty/test/templates_c/';
$smarty->config_dir = '/www/smarty/test/configs/';
$smarty->cache_dir = '/www/smarty/test/cache/';

$smarty->load_filter('pre','test');
$smarty->display('test.tpl');

?>

I do not get any errors from Smarty and I have also tried specifying the plugin directory, but the comment never shows up in the file.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,

prefilters are only applied when the template is compiled. to test the prefilter you should turn $smarty->force_compile to true.
