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.

$compile_id

Persistent compile identifier. As an alternative to passing the same $compile_id to each and every function call, you can set this $compile_id and it will be used implicitly thereafter.

If you use the same template with different pre- and/or post-filters you must use a unique $compile_id to keep the compiled template files separated.

For example a prefilter that localizes your templates (that is: translates language dependent parts) at compile time, then you could use the current language as $compile_id and you will get a set of compiled templates for each language you use.

<?php
$smarty->compile_id = 'en';
?>

Another application would be to use the same compile directory across multiple domains / multiple virtual hosts.

<?php

$smarty->compile_id = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$smarty->compile_dir = '/path/to/shared_compile_dir';

?>

Note

In Smarty 3 a $compile_id is no longer required to keep templates with same name in different $template_dir folders separated. The $template_dir file path is encoded in the file name of compiled and cached template files.
