Smarty

[bkw]

I'm looking for a way to make the behaviour of modifiers depend on properties of the smarty object. Since modifiers are not Smarty-methods, and are not handed the object, I wonder how this could be done.

The primary reason for wanting to do this is the following:

I'd like to set a default characterset for smarty, which is the used in modifier.escape as the third argument to htmlentities. This is needed for displaying the Euro-Symbol in ISO-8859-15.

Any Idea?

I suggested this quite awhile ago and I still think it would be a nice addition: http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=185. There is some followup material in there for you.

There are workarounds: the most promising is the one that messju told me: put your modifier function in a class that holds an instance of your smarty object then register your modifier using the API. That way, the modifier can access smarty from the local class reference.

i know this is an old post; but since i needed this to work, and found a solution figured i'd post it

the simplest method is just to call the global object you defined smraty as;
in my case it's defined as $template; so if i use "global $template" it brough in the object perfectly...
