Writing A Plugin

Plugins are included from the plugins directory and are loaded from the template files.

Plugin files and functions must follow a very specific naming convention in order to be located by Smarty.

plugin files must be named as follows: type.name.php

• Where type is one of these plugin types:
  • function
  • modifier
  • block
  • compiler
  • prefilter
  • postfilter
  • outputfilter
  • resource
  • insert

• And name should be a valid identifier; letters, numbers, and underscores only, see php variables.
• Some examples: function.html_select_date.php, resource.db.php, modifier.spacify.php.
