Hey

Yesterday I installed the latest (3.0.5) smarty version on my vserver and everything was fine, except the date/date_format.
Code:
{$entry.date}
//compiled file output
<?php echo $_smarty_tpl->getVariable('entry')->value['date'];?>
shows me the date I want, but if I chose a special format, there is nothing on the screen.
Code:
{$entry.date|date_format:'%a, %e %b %Y'}
//compiled file output
<?php echo date_format($_smarty_tpl->getVariable('entry')->value['date'],'%a, %e %b %Y');?>
does not work.

Before I worked in my local xampp installation under winxp and smarty version 2.6.26 and everything worked. Now I want to upload and host my site on a fresh installed vserver. Is this an smarty error or is possibly something wrong with my php installation..?!

In your first code block:
{$entry.date} could never have been compiled to
<?php echo $_smarty_tpl->getVariable('data')->value[0]['date'];?>

Are u sure that your date is in $entry.date?

Thanks for your answer U.Tews!

You are right, I posted the wrong code.. sorry. I edited the code in my first post, now it's right.

And right in this moment I saw, that I get a warning:

Code:
Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, string given in .../templates_c/....file.entry.tpl.php on line 32


Sorry that I posted before I checked that there are no warnings... ok, now I know whats going on, but before everything was fine under xampp and smarty.2.6. And I did not change the code, so why is there a warning now?

My tests work but are showing a different compiled output, using smarty_modifier_date_format() in the compiled code. PHP 5.2 introduced its own date_format() function, and it looks like your compiled code is trying to use that. I'm using 5.2 in my tests though. But, that may be a clue to what is going on...

If you instantiate a vanilla Smarty object and load this template:

Code:
{$smarty.now|date_format}


Does it work?

Yes, your code compiled to use PHP function date_format

Smarty tries first to locate the plugin the plugins folder, only if that fails it tries to use the PHP function.

Looks like that your plugins_dir does not point the the right folder containing
modifer.date_format.php.

Note that you must delete compiled template after this has been fixed.

Hey and thanks again for your replies!

@mohrt: I tried your template and got a formatted date. Following the compile output:
Code:
<?php echo smarty_modifier_date_format(time());?>


Also I tried $smarty->testInstall(); from the quick install guide and got this:
Code:
Smarty Installation test...
Testing template directory...
/var/www/.../smarty/templates is OK.
Testing compile directory...
/var/www/.../smarty/templates_c is OK.
Testing plugins directory...
/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/plugins/ is OK.
Testing cache directory...
/var/www/.../smarty/cache is OK.
Testing configs directory...
/var/www/.../smarty/configs is OK.
Tests complete.


Everything seems to be fine. The plugins folder is at the place it has to be (usr/local/lib/php/Smarty). But my code still does not work.

Here is an extract from my tpl:

Code:
<div class="postHeader">{$entry.date} ODER {$entry.date|date_format:'%a, %e %b %Y'} in {$entry.city}</div>

and here is the complied file:
Code:
<div class="postHeader"><?php echo $_smarty_tpl->getVariable('entry')->value['date'];?>
 ODER <?php echo date_format($_smarty_tpl->getVariable('entry')->value['date'],'%a, %e %b %Y');?>
 in <?php echo $_smarty_tpl->getVariable('entry')->value['city'];?>
</div>


Oh, when I put the template code from mohrt into my template I get the same problem.. so could there be a problem with my template?

Does /usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/plugins/ contain file modifier.date_format.php ?
Does Smarty have read access to the files in /usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/plugins/ ?

Are you sure that you are using this plugins folder when using your template or did you modify plugins_dir from thze default setting?

1. Yes, the plugins folder contains the file modifier.date_format.php
2. I think so, {$smarty.now|date_format} as a stand alone template outside my project work.
3.
Code:
// define smarty lib directory
define('SMARTY_DIR', '/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/');
these lines are in my index.php which is called every time and i did not define a plugins_dir.

?>

Strange....

Are you sure that your templates got recompiled with the latest settings?

Is compile_check = true?
For testing try force_compile = true.

I think so, in between I deleted the old compile files just to verify if the templates are up to date..

here are some lines code.. perhaps it helps:
Code:

// define our application directory
define('MYSITE_DIR', '/var/www/mysite/');
// define smarty lib directory
define('SMARTY_DIR', '/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/');

Code:
// smarty configuration
class CMysiteSmarty extends Smarty
{
   function CMysiteSmarty()
   {
      $this->template_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/templates';
      $this->compile_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/templates_c';
      $this->config_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/configs';
      $this->cache_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/cache';
   }
}
Code:

      //instantiate the template object
      $this->tpl = new CMysiteSmarty;   

      if($this->tpl->compile_check == true)
         echo "compile_check == true";
      else
         echo "compile_check == false";
         
      
      $this->tpl->force_compile=true;

The output is compile_check == true.

Any ideas?

..oh, and thank you all for your fast help! Smile

Here we go.

If you extend the smarty class you must use PHP5 constructors.

Code:
class CMysiteSmarty extends Smarty
{
    function __construct() {
       parent::__construct();
      $this->template_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/templates';
      $this->compile_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/templates_c';
      $this->config_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/configs';
      $this->cache_dir = MYSITE_DIR . 'smarty/cache';
   }
}

Thanks, I tried that but it did not work.

What else could be wrong? Again, creating a new test.php, new test.tpl everything seems to be right. But in my project it does not work. I already created new files for my php and tpl files and copied the old code into them... still the same problem. Hmmm.. I'll go through it again, perhaps I missed something..
