Hello,

I seem to have a problem with the block.t plugin for smarty (http://smarty.incutio.com/?page=SmartyGettext)

I have a template, with the following text:

You are doing nothing wrong.
I was having the exact same problem since Smarty 3.1 came out.
After some digging today I found out that for some reason the block function gets called twice, once with an empty string, once with the string from the template.
I suspect this is a Smarty bug, however you can easily work around this problem by adding this at the beginning of the smarty_block_t function in block.t.php (i am using version 1.0b):

It's not a smarty bug. Block functions are called always without content at the start tag to allow for initalization code (handle passed parameter etc).

What has changed since 3.1 is that a returned value is also eched on the starting tag. This was changed as we had lot of request for it.

Hi there,

I found the i18n support of Smarty (not per see, but as the whole process) a bit lacking. That's why I've implemented and released a smarty-gettext project that enables full i18n support for Smarty, including the creation of po files, etc.

Have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/smarty-gettext/

any feedback, etc. would be very much appreciated!

Bests,
Charly
