azett 52bf429a01 Replaced Smarty 2.6.31-dev with v 4.0.4, keeping the FP-specific Smarty plugins.
Updated calls to current Smarty API (register_function()/register_modifier()/register_block() -> registerPlugin(); assign_by_ref() -> assignByRef()).
Fixed file includes in templates with quotes.
Removed SmartyValidate.class.php includes.

Still work in progress as some errors still appear!

{capture} {#language.function.capture}
=========
`{capture}` is used to collect the output of the template between the
tags into a variable instead of displaying it. Any content between
`{capture name='foo'}` and `{/capture}` is collected into the variable
specified in the `name` attribute.
The captured content can be used in the template from the variable
[`$smarty.capture.foo`](#language.variables.smarty.capture) where "foo"
is the value passed in the `name` attribute. If you do not supply the
`name` attribute, then "default" will be used as the name ie
`$smarty.capture.default`.
`{capture}'s` can be nested.
**Attributes:**
Attribute Name Type Required Default Description
---------------- -------- ---------- --------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
name string Yes *n/a* The name of the captured block
assign string No *n/a* The variable name where to assign the captured output to
append string No *n/a* The name of an array variable where to append the captured output to
**Option Flags:**
Name Description
--------- -----------------------------------------
nocache Disables caching of this captured block
> **Note**

> Be careful when capturing [`{insert}`](#language.function.insert)
> output. If you have [`$caching`](#caching) enabled and you have
> [`{insert}`](#language.function.insert) commands that you expect to
> run within cached content, do not capture this content.
{* we don't want to print a div tag unless content is displayed *}
{capture name="banner"}
{capture "banner"} {* short-hand *}
{include file="get_banner.tpl"}
{/capture}
{if $smarty.capture.banner ne ""}
<div id="banner">{$smarty.capture.banner}</div>
{/if}
This example demonstrates the capture function.
{capture name=some_content assign=popText}
{capture some_content assign=popText} {* short-hand *}
The server is {$my_server_name|upper} at {$my_server_addr}<br>
Your ip is {$my_ip}.
{/capture}
<a href="#">{$popText}</a>
This example also demonstrates how multiple calls of capture can be used
to create an array with captured content.
{capture append="foo"}hello{/capture}I say just {capture append="foo"}world{/capture}
{foreach $foo as $text}{$text} {/foreach}
The above example will output:
I say just hello world
