This is the directory or directories where Smarty will look for the plugins that it needs. Default is plugins/ under the SMARTY_DIR. If you supply a relative path, Smarty will first look under the SMARTY_DIR, then relative to the current working directory, then relative to the PHP include_path. If $plugins_dir is an array of directories, Smarty will search for your plugin in each plugin directory in the order they are given.

<?php

$smarty->plugins_dir[] = 'includes/my_smarty_plugins';

?>


    

<?php

$smarty->plugins_dir = array(
                       'plugins', // the default under SMARTY_DIR
                       '/path/to/shared/plugins',
                       '../../includes/my/plugins'
                       );

?>
