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.

Extends Template Resources
The extends:
resource is used to define child/parent relationships for
template inheritance from the PHP script. For details see section of
Template Inheritance.
As of Smarty 3.1 the extends:
resource may use any available template
resource, including string:
and eval:
. When templates
from strings are used, make sure they are properly
(url or base64) encoded. Is an eval:
resource found within an
inheritance chain, its "don't save a compile file" property is
superseded by the extends:
resource. The templates within an
inheritance chain are not compiled separately, though. Only a single
compiled template will be generated.
Note
Use this when inheritance is required programmatically. When inheriting within PHP, it is not obvious from the child template what inheritance took place. If you have a choice, it is normally more flexible and intuitive to handle inheritance chains from within the templates.
<?php
$smarty->display('extends:parent.tpl|child.tpl|grandchild.tpl');
// inheritance from multiple template sources
$smarty->display('extends:db:parent.tpl|file:child.tpl|grandchild.tpl|eval:{block name="fooBazVar_"}hello world{/block}');
?>
