Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1 It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0. Remark: During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs: Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier. As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again. The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

Cache Groups
You can do more elaborate grouping by setting up $cache_id
groups.
This is accomplished by separating each sub-group with a vertical bar
|
in the $cache_id
value. You can have as many sub-groups as you
like.
-
You can think of cache groups like a directory hierarchy. For instance, a cache group of
'a|b|c'
could be thought of as the directory structure'/a/b/c/'
. -
clearCache(null,'a|b|c')
would be like removing the files'/a/b/c/*'
.clearCache(null,'a|b')
would be like removing the files'/a/b/*'
. -
If you specify a
$compile_id
such asclearCache(null,'a|b','foo')
it is treated as an appended cache group'/a/b/c/foo/'
. -
If you specify a template name such as
clearCache('foo.tpl','a|b|c')
then Smarty will attempt to remove'/a/b/c/foo.tpl'
. -
You CANNOT remove a specified template name under multiple cache groups such as
'/a/b/*/foo.tpl'
, the cache grouping works left-to-right ONLY. You will need to group your templates under a single cache group hierarchy to be able to clear them as a group.
Cache grouping should not be confused with your template directory
hierarchy, the cache grouping has no knowledge of how your templates are
structured. So for example, if you have a template structure like
themes/blue/index.tpl
and you want to be able to clear all the cache
files for the "blue" theme, you will need to create a cache group
structure that mimics your template file structure, such as
display('themes/blue/index.tpl','themes|blue')
, then clear them with
clearCache(null,'themes|blue')
.
<?php
require('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->setCaching(Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT);
// clear all caches with 'sports|basketball' as the first two cache_id groups
$smarty->clearCache(null,'sports|basketball');
// clear all caches with "sports" as the first cache_id group. This would
// include "sports|basketball", or "sports|(anything)|(anything)|(anything)|..."
$smarty->clearCache(null,'sports');
// clear the foo.tpl cache file with "sports|basketball" as the cache_id
$smarty->clearCache('foo.tpl','sports|basketball');
$smarty->display('index.tpl','sports|basketball');
?>
