Fraenkiman e544ed6d9a Smatry Release 4.4.1 on Feb-2024
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.

Writing Plugins {#plugins.writing}
===============
Plugins can be either loaded by Smarty automatically from the filesystem
or they can be registered at runtime via one of the register\_\* API
functions. They can also be unregistered by using unregister\_\* API
functions.
For the plugins that are registered at runtime, the name of the plugin
function(s) does not have to follow the naming convention.
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.
