Smarty

Am I missing something?

The following doesn't work when passed array like :

{$post.sections|printr}

[php:1:3d264fe853]<?php
function smarty_modifier_printr(&$var)
{
ob_start();
print_r($var);
$o = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return "<pre>".$o."</pre>";
}
?>[/php:1:3d264fe853]

it just returnes "Array"

But
{section name=n loop=$post.sections} some stuff {/section} loops over the array.

If I make a custom looping block function, and pass it a varible, would I expect the same behavior ? ( i.e. can't get the array )

edit: this DOES work :

{printr var=$post.sections}

[php:1:3d264fe853]<?php
function smarty_function_printr($params, &$Smarty)
{
ob_start();
print_r($params['var']);
$o = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return "<pre>".$o."</pre>";
}
?>[/php:1:3d264fe853]

so what happens to the modifier? is it converted into a string first?

I stumbled on this one too. Are you using @ before the modifer telling Smarty to expect an array?

{$var|@printr}
