Hello all,

I've just starting to experiment when Smarty 3 (nice work!) and I've hit an issue when trying to 'escape' a variable. In the template I have:

Code:
{$post.Username|escape}


In the Apache error log I get this:

Quote:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Syntax Error in template "/www/smarty/gf/templates/index.tpl" on line 19 "{$post.Username|escape}" unknown modifier "escape"'


Looking in my Smarty directory "plugins/modifier.escape.php" is definitely there, and the error log doesn't have any indication that it can't be read, or not found in a different location.

Am I using incorrect syntax here? It appears to work in Smarty 2 okay (on my colleagues machine), but not in Smarty 3. I'm using RC1.

Many thanks,
Allan[/quote]

do any of your modifiers work? you could have the config_dir setting wrong.

Hi mohrt,

Thanks for the reply. Your post promoted me to dig deeper and it appears we ran into a hiccup with a transition from Smarty 2 to Smarty 3. We had a class extending Smarty and that doesn't appear to go down well (probably the initialisation around doing it that way). I've removed that now and it works perfectly.

Many thanks,
Allan

Old post but got here via google so maybe it helps others;

Had the same issue after upgrading and was extending the class, solved it by simply calling the parent::__construct() method

Wrap. Don't extend.

I'm porting a Smarty 2 -> 3 site and ran into this problem with several of the plugins. I'm extending Smarty but I believe I followed the update instructions properly. I'm running PHP7, if it matters.

Class:
Code:

class TRMS extends Smarty
{
    public $Cookie;
    public $credentials;
    public $dsn;
    public $db;

    function __construct()
    {
        // Class Constructor.
        parent::__construct();

        $this->setTemplateDir($GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['templates']);
        $this->setCompileDir($GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['templates_c']);
        $this->setConfigDir($GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['configs']);
        $this->setCacheDir($GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['cache']);
        $this->setPluginsDir($GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['plugins']);

        $this->initialize();
    }

    private function initialize()
    {
        // We need to fetch the user's credentials cookie to see which
        // database we need to open.
        $this->Cookie = new Cookie;
        ...
      }


It's being instantiated as:
Code:

require_once($_SERVER['TRMS_BASE'] . '/class/trms.class.php');

$trms = new TRMS();


Example of an error:
Code:

     <a class="button"
        href="javascript:void(null)"
        onclick="this.blur();
                 confirm_set_entity_status({$patient_id}, '{$full_name|escape:'quotes'}');
                 return false;">
     <span>Set Patient Active</span></a>


Error log:
Code:
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught  --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "file:/web/htdocs/chf/trms/smarty/templates/view_patient.tpl"  on line 66 "confirm_set_entity_status({$patient_id}, '{$full_name|escape:'quotes'}');" unknown modifier "escape" <-- \n  thrown in /web/htdocs/chf/trms/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 66
[/code]


FIXED (and left for reference in case someone else runs into this).

The plugins config needs to be an array which includes the vendor plugins directory:
Code:
        $this->setPluginsDir(array(
            $GLOBALS['TRMS']['smarty']['plugins'],
            $_SERVER['TRMS_BASE'] . '/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/plugins'
        ));

The most likely cause is that you override Smarty plugins directory.

You can addPluginsDir() instead setPluginsDir() for your system
