Smarty

[luca200]

Hi, I'm trying to write a plugin by myself, but it seems I need to use a php function inside it and it looks like others plugin don't do it (I did not look at all of them, actually ).
What if I define one more function inside the function.pluginName.php file? Is there any naming convention about it?

Thanks

Yes, the function name must be smarty_function_pluginName if you want Smarty to find it from the plugins directory. Defining other functions in the plugin file will not be used unless you call them specifically.

Seems like I did not explain the matter.... let's try again (or could be I did not understand your answer...)

I have my smarty_function_pluginName function inside my function.pluginName.php file, and that's right. But I need one more function to call from smarty_function_pluginName. Is it right to define it inside the same php file? And how must I name it, if there's a rule about that?

Thanks again

There should be no problems creating other functions in the plugin file and calling them from the plugin. There is no naming convention that you must adhere to, aside from name collisions with other PHP functions. To be safe you could probably name it smarty_function_pluginName_helperfuncName

Fine, thanks!!
