i am tring to use custom plugins. the fckeditor is one of them. now at the risk of sounding like an newbie ass i need help getting the to work.
i am setting the plugins_dir
array_unshift($t->plugins_dir, dirname(__FILE__).'/smarty/plugins') ;

including the file
include (dirname(__FILE__).'/smarty/plugins/function.fckeditor.php');

and registering it
$t->register_function('fckeditor', 'fckeditor');

When i run the template no error just a blank area where the editor should be.
what am i doing wrong.
Thanks
Todd

is it a stupid question?

You don't need to include your plugins if you are putting them in the plugins directory... They will be auto-included as long as they can be found in the $smarty->plugins_dir variable.

Regarding how you set your plugins directory.. It looks correct if you want to make your custom plugins_dir the first to be searched instead of the one located off the smarty class directory.

what is "dirname(__FILE__).'/smarty/plugins'" ?

Is this your custom directory or are you simply pointing back to the one located in the same directory as your smarty.class.php??

i used what is "dirname(__FILE__).'/smarty/plugins'" because i put a plugins directory in the rootfolder>smarty>plugins just for testing. i originally put the plugin in the directory with the rest of the plug-ins that came with smarty.

From what i've read i assumed the plugins autoloaded but since it was not working i tried to include them. i assumed with it in both directory and both being called it would have to work, but apparently i was wrong.
there are no errors but the fckeditor does not display anything.

It should work this way (correct me if im wrong) with the fckeditor (or any plugin) if i put it in the plugins directory. then i just have to call {fckeditor ....} in the template and this should just then display. Or is there an _init i have to add

LOL

function.fckeditor.php file was not in right plugins directory...

It must be here:
{smarty_dir}/libs/plugins/function.fckeditor.php
