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!

{extends}

{extends} tags are used in child templates in template inheritance for extending parent templates. For details see section of Template Interitance.

  • The {extends} tag must be on the first line of the template.

  • If a child template extends a parent template with the {extends} tag it may contain only {block} tags. Any other template content is ignored.

  • Use the syntax for template resources to extend files outside of the $template_dir directory.

Note

When extending a variable parent like {extends file=$parent_file}, make sure you include $parent_file in the $compile_id. Otherwise Smarty cannot distinguish between different $parent_files.

Attributes:
