What you did not understand?
What you have tried and what does not work for you?

[charliebbq]

ok so i added the plugin to the smarty plugin folder

and then in my tpl i tried to call a random char using {$random}

[AnrDaemon]

{$random} prints the value of variable "$random". Not calls a plugin {random}.
You should really read the documentation.
