Smarty

[tporter]

Greetings,

I'm working on moving some old code which has a lot of the {insert ... } type of plugins (ad banner, rss feed, etc ...

I was looking at the docs to see what had changed and there is a notice on http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.insert.tpl, that says "{insert} tags are deprecated from Smarty, and should not be used. Put your PHP logic in PHP scripts or plugin functions instead."

I'm guessing the "PHP script" means use an include (haven't tried this yet)... I did try "plugin functions", since i could just move the code from the insert plugin to the function plugin... but the results cached so not the same as the original insert.

So I was trying to figure out if there was a plugin function that replaced the insert's ability - "{insert} tags work much like {include} tags, except that {insert} tags are NOT cached when template caching is enabled. They will be executed on every invocation of the template. "

I found the another reference to the insert plugin at http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/plugins.inserts.tpl, but there is no deprecated notice on that page... so is {insert ... } deprecated or not?

And what is the recommended way to replace it with to get the similar functionality ?

Thanks for your time.

{insert} is still available with the SmartyBC class. See http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/bc.tpl

Also you can register a function as plugin which is not cached.
See http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.register.plugin.tpl
