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.

Writing Plugins
Plugins can be either loaded by Smarty automatically from the filesystem or they can be registered at runtime via one of the register_* API functions. They can also be unregistered by using unregister_* API functions.
For the plugins that are registered at runtime, the name of the plugin function(s) does not have to follow the naming convention.
If a plugin depends on some functionality provided by another plugin (as is the case with some plugins bundled with Smarty), then the proper way to load the needed plugin is this:
<?php
function smarty_function_yourPlugin(array $params, Smarty_Internal_Template $template)
{
// load plugin depended upon
$template->smarty->loadPlugin('smarty_shared_make_timestamp');
// plugin code
}
?>
As a general rule, the currently evaluated template's Smarty_Internal_Template object is always passed to the plugins as the last parameter with two exceptions:
-
modifiers do not get passed the Smarty_Internal_Template object at all
-
blocks get passed
$repeat
after the Smarty_Internal_Template object to keep backwards compatibility to older versions of Smarty.
