Hi - I'm sure this has been asked before and I'm sure there's a simple answer but I can't find it.

I've created a new plugin function called email_setup. The filename is function.email_setup.php, located in /home/manager/plugins. Here's the code:
Code:
function smarty_function_email_setup($params, $template='')
{
   if (is_array($params['data'])) {
      $result = "Email setup called: {$params['data']['temp']}";
   }
   return $result;
}

The problem is not with the code; calling it as a standalone function works. I've also created a file function.eightball.php, copied directly from the example in the Smarty docs, and put it in the same directory.

Using {eightball} in a template works as expected. But using
Code:
{$mydata.email='email'}
{email_setup($mydata)}

throws an error:
Code:
Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "eval:<div class="report"> <h1>{$report_option..." on line 8 "{email_setup($mydata)}" unknown function "email_setup" <-- thrown in /home/espritg/manager/lib/smarty-3.1.29/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 8

So the question is, why is {eightball} found and executed, and {email_setup}, in the same directory and with identical permissions, not even found?

Code:
{email_setup data=$mydata}


But you are doing it wrong. Don't use templates for your business logic.

I understand that templates are supposed to help separate logic from display, but in my case I do have a good reason for doing this, and that was not the point of my question.
To reiterate: why is one function (eightball) found and executed but the other one (email_setup) throws a "not found" error? Both live in the same plugins directory.

Your Smarty version is grossly outdated to begin with.
And to the point of your problem, double check the naming.

If you are still convinced everything is all right, try replicating you issue using this testbed: https://github.com/AnrDaemon/test-001

Link the repo with reproduction case, please.

So I can now use my email_setup function (yes, I know, logic vs. display and all that, but that's not the point).
However I can't call it like
Code:
{email_setup($parameters)}
(parenthesised style); I get an unknown function error.
If I use
Code:
{email_setup address='me@example.com' name='My Name'}
- i.e. the non-parenthesised style - it works.
Yet I have another function defined in the same plugins directory which works just fine with the parenthesised-style call:
Code:
{get_transactions(21064372)}

Where else can I look for clues?
