Smarty

[carl_galloway]

Hi all,

I'm working on a template for Serendipity and I want to give the blog title a two color look, which means placing a <span> around all words after the second or third word. I have no idea how to do this. I've searched these forums and the documentation for anything to do with splitting a variable, or adding html to a truncate but nothing seems to say I can do this. Smarty is of course endlessly capable, so where do I start?

Many thanks, Carl

Write a modifier or a block function that massages your output with preg_replace or the like. see:
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/plugins.writing.php
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/plugins.modifiers.php
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/plugins.block.functions.php

put the php file that implements your plugin somewhere where smarty can find it. where this is depends on how the smarty object is configured in s9y, which I don't know off-hand, sorry.
