It appears that by having a plugin named the same as one of the built-in plugins (for example modifier.date_format.php) in order to override or extend some of its facilities does not work as expected in 2.6.0-RC1.

The smarty_core_assemble_plugin_filepath function, responsible for loading plugins, whilst it finds the appropriate plugin, does not immediately return, but instead continues to check ALL the plugin directories and uses the relevant plugin from the LAST matching directory.

This appears at first glance to be a waste of time, however it is only slowing down the compilation phase due to the caching of paths.

Initially I was confused by this as I was used to placing my own plugins directory before smarty's own directory, i.e.:

Code:
$plugins_dir = array('my_plugins', 'plugins');


which makes more sense to me in that this statement would appear to suggest that plugins would be taken from my_plugins folder in preference to the plugins folder.

The current workaround (at least without modifying the core code) is just to put my plugins folder AFTER smarty's. (although as I mentioned above, this does incur a slight speed penalty).

this is the same as http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?p=5087#5087
and thus fixed in cvs.
