Only the specific modifiers, +functions, resources, etc invoked in the templates scripts will be +loaded. Moreover, each plugin is loaded only once, even if you have +several different instances of Smarty running within the same request. + +Pre/postfilters and output filters are a bit of a special case. Since +they are not mentioned in the templates, they must be registered or +loaded explicitly via API functions before the template is processed. +The order in which multiple filters of the same type are executed +depends on the order in which they are registered or loaded. + +The [plugins directory](#variable.plugins.dir) can be a string +containing a path or an array containing multiple paths. To install a +plugin, simply place it in one of the directories and Smarty will use it +automatically. |
