+
+Block functions are functions of the form: `{func} .. {/func}`. In other
+words, they enclose a template block and operate on the contents of this
+block. Block functions take precedence over [custom
+functions](#language.custom.functions) of the same name, that is, you
+cannot have both custom function `{func}` and block function
+`{func}..{/func}`.
+
+- By default your function implementation is called twice by Smarty:
+ once for the opening tag, and once for the closing tag. (See
+ `$repeat` below on how to change this.)
+
+- Starting with Smarty 3.1 the returned value of the opening tag call
+ is displayed as well.
+
+- Only the opening tag of the block function may have
+ [attributes](#language.syntax.attributes). All attributes passed to
+ template functions from the template are contained in the `$params`
+ variable as an associative array. The opening tag attributes are
+ also accessible to your function when processing the closing tag.
+
+- The value of the `$content` variable depends on whether your
+ function is called for the opening or closing tag. In case of the
+ opening tag, it will be NULL, and in case of the closing tag it will
+ be the contents of the template block. Note that the template block
+ will have already been processed by Smarty, so all you will receive
+ is the template output, not the template source.
+
+- The parameter `$repeat` is passed by reference to the function
+ implementation and provides a possibility for it to control how many
+ times the block is displayed. By default `$repeat` is TRUE at the
+ first call of the block-function (the opening tag) and FALSE on all
+ subsequent calls to the block function (the block\'s closing tag).
+ Each time the function implementation returns with `$repeat` being
+ TRUE, the contents between `{func}...{/func}` are evaluated and the
+ function implementation is called again with the new block contents
+ in the parameter `$content`.
+
+If you have nested block functions, it\'s possible to find out what the
+parent block function is by accessing `$smarty->_tag_stack` variable.
+Just do a [`var_dump()`](&url.php-manual;var_dump) on it and the
+structure should be apparent.

+Compiler Functions {#plugins.compiler.functions}
+==================
+
+Compiler functions are called only during compilation of the template.
+They are useful for injecting PHP code or time-sensitive static content
+into the template. If there is both a compiler function and a [custom
+function](#language.custom.functions) registered under the same name,
+the compiler function has precedence.
+
+mixed
+
+smarty\_compiler\_
+
+name
+
+array
+
+\$params
+
+object
+
+\$smarty
+
+The compiler function is passed two parameters: the params array which
+contains precompiled strings for the attribute values and the Smarty
+object. It\'s supposed to return the code to be injected into the
+compiled template including the surrounding PHP tags.
+
+
+ <?php
+ /*
+ * Smarty plugin
+ * -------------------------------------------------------------
+ * File: compiler.tplheader.php
+ * Type: compiler
+ * Name: tplheader
+ * Purpose: Output header containing the source file name and
+ * the time it was compiled.
+ * -------------------------------------------------------------
+ */
+ function smarty_compiler_tplheader($params, Smarty $smarty)
+ {
+ return "<?php\necho '" . $smarty->_current_file . " compiled at " . date('Y-m-d H:M'). "';\n?>";
+ }
+ ?>
+
+This function can be called from the template as:
+
+
+ {* this function gets executed at compile time only *}
+ {tplheader}
+
+
+
+The resulting PHP code in the compiled template would be something like
+this:
+
+
+ <?php
+ echo 'index.tpl compiled at 2002-02-20 20:02';
+ ?>

+How Plugins Work {#plugins.howto}
+================
+
+Plugins are always loaded on demand. 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.

+Naming Conventions {#plugins.naming.conventions}
+==================
+
+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](&url.php-manual;language.variables).
+
+- Some examples: `function.html_select_date.php`, `resource.db.php`,
+ `modifier.spacify.php`.
+
+**plugin functions** inside the PHP files must be named as follows:
+
+> `smarty_type_name`
+
+- The meanings of `type` and `name` are the same as above.
+
+- An example modifier name `foo` would be
+ `function smarty_modifier_foo()`.
+
+Smarty will output appropriate error messages if the plugin file it
+needs is not found, or if the file or the plugin function are named
+improperly.

+Resources {#plugins.resources}
+=========
+
+Resource plugins are meant as a generic way of providing template
+sources or PHP script components to Smarty. Some examples of resources:
+databases, LDAP, shared memory, sockets, and so on.
+
+Custom Resources may be put in a file `resource.foobarxyz.php` within
+your [`$plugins_dir`](#variable.plugins.dir), or registered on runtime
+with [`registerResource()`](#api.register.resource). In either case you
+will be able to access that resource by prepending its name to the
+template you\'re addressing: `foobarxyz:yourtemplate.tpl`.
+
+If a Resource\'s templates should not be run through the Smarty
+compiler, the Custom Resource may extend `Smarty_Resource_Uncompiled`.
+The Resource Handler must then implement the function
+`renderUncompiled(Smarty_Internal_Template $_template)`. `$_template` is
+a reference to the current template and contains all assigned variables
+which the implementor can access via
+`$_template->smarty->getTemplateVars()`. These Resources simply echo
+their rendered content to the output stream. The rendered output will be
+output-cached if the Smarty instance was configured accordingly. See
+`libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_resource_php.php` for an example.
+
+If the Resource\'s compiled templates should not be cached on disk, the
+Custom Resource may extend `Smarty_Resource_Recompiled`. These Resources
+are compiled every time they are accessed. This may be an expensive
+overhead. See `libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_resource_eval.php` for an
+example.

+
+If a plugin depends on some functionality provided by another plugin (as
+is the case with some plugins bundled with Smarty), then the proper way
+to load the needed plugin is this:
+
+
+ <?php
+ function smarty_function_yourPlugin(array $params, Smarty_Internal_Template $template)
+ {
+ // load plugin depended upon
+ $template->smarty->loadPlugin('smarty_shared_make_timestamp');
+ // plugin code
+ }
+ ?>
+
+
+
+As a general rule, the currently evaluated template\'s
+Smarty\_Internal\_Template object is always passed to the plugins as the
+last parameter with two exceptions:
+
+- modifiers do not get passed the Smarty\_Internal\_Template object at
+ all
+
+- blocks get passed `$repeat` after the Smarty\_Internal\_Template
+ object to keep backwards compatibility to older versions of Smarty.
