Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 9:04 pm Post subject: override of custom functions |
|
|
Hi all, I am new to Smarty but looking forward to using it a lot!
I have added a second plugins directory to the config.
Is it possible to have functions in there that override functions in the first config directory? For example, several functions are OK, but smarty_function_html_table needs a lot of rewriting.
Later on I might want to have different layouts in my project. Some templates would need overriding, but several would not, so Smarty would have to fall back on a previous plugins directory.
Is that possible? I copied and edited smarty_function_html_table into my own plugins folder and added that folder to Smarty in three ways (1. add it to the end of the array, 2. add it to the start of the array, 3. use the addPluginsDir function) but I only got the original smarty_function_html_table function.
Thanks!

Of course. All you have to do is to not ADD, but SET plugins directory.
Then you can control the order, in which they are searched.

Patches thoughtfully considered.

Read documentation, please. It is all written here, in plain english. |

I did this:
Code: | $pluginsDirs = $smarty->getPluginsDir();
// add before current plugins directory:
array_unshift($pluginsDirs, 'my/own/plugins');
$smarty->setPluginsDir($pluginsDirs); |
and I tried this:
Code: | $pluginsDirs = $smarty->getPluginsDir();
// add after current plugins directory:
$pluginsDirs[] = 'my/own/plugins';
$smarty->setPluginsDir($pluginsDirs); |
but this TPL:
Code: | {html_table loop=$data} |
gives me the original html_table function, not my edited version in my/own/plugins. I tried to make a new function in my own plugins directory and that works, so Smarty can find the directory.
Of course I read the documentation, I came here because it doesn't work for me.
I must be doing something wrong... |

This will append, not prepend your plugins.

Works just fine for me.
I hope you did set Smarty::force_compile to true before running your tests. |

Yes, a change of the plugins_dir configuration as no effect on already compiled or cached templates.
Use $smarty->force_compile = true;
or delete existing compiled and cache files after the change of configuration.
For performance reason Smarty does cache the file path of plugin files at compile time. |
