Smarty

[martyf]

Excuse me if this is a really noob question, but I've just started writing plugins for Smarty 3.

I've written functions, and everything works a treat.

I was then looking for a way to make a function call not be cached (i.e. run as an insert, not an include).

I saw lots of posts about using {nocache}...{/nocache} but thought that seemed a little over the top... I recalled seeing somewhere someone use a function call like:
{helloWorld nocache}

So I thought I'd give it a go - create a simple HelloWorld function that outputs the current time.

Running two calls - one with "nocache" and one without, it behaves as expected - the one without "nocache" is cached.

So - my question is - am I missing something obvious about using "nocache" in this way (is it bad or not recommended something)?

It's save to use {helloWorld nocache}.

This new option is not yet in documentation.

Fantastic - thanks for the clarification

Yes, we are still extending and improving documentation.....
