Sites Using Smarty
Advertisement
Plugin files and functions must follow a very specific naming convention in order to be located by Smarty.
plugin files must be named as follows:
type.name.php
-
Where
typeis one of these plugin types:- function
- modifier
- block
- compiler
- prefilter
- postfilter
- outputfilter
- resource
- insert
And
nameshould be a valid identifier; letters, numbers, and underscores only, see php variables.Some examples:
function.html_select_date.php,resource.db.php,modifier.spacify.php.
plugin functions inside the PHP files must be named as follows:
smarty_type, _name
The meanings of
typeandnameare the same as above.An example modifier name
foowould befunction smarty_modifier_foo().
Smarty will output appropriate error messages if the plugin file it needs is not found, or if the file or the plugin function are named improperly.
