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.

How Plugins Work {#plugins.howto}
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Plugins are always loaded on demand. Only the specific modifiers,
|
|
functions, resources, etc invoked in the templates scripts will be
|
|
loaded. Moreover, each plugin is loaded only once, even if you have
|
|
several different instances of Smarty running within the same request.
|
|
|
|
Pre/postfilters and output filters are a bit of a special case. Since
|
|
they are not mentioned in the templates, they must be registered or
|
|
loaded explicitly via API functions before the template is processed.
|
|
The order in which multiple filters of the same type are executed
|
|
depends on the order in which they are registered or loaded.
|
|
|
|
The [plugins directory](#variable.plugins.dir) can be a string
|
|
containing a path or an array containing multiple paths. To install a
|
|
plugin, simply place it in one of the directories and Smarty will use it
|
|
automatically.
