Inserts

Insert plugins are used to implement functions that are invoked by {insert} tags in the template.

string smarty_insert_name( $params,  
  $template);  
array $params;
object $template;
 

The first parameter to the function is an associative array of attributes passed to the insert.

The insert function is supposed to return the result which will be substituted in place of the {insert} tag in the template.

Example 18.11. insert plugin


<?php
/*
 * Smarty plugin
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 * File:     insert.time.php
 * Type:     time
 * Name:     time
 * Purpose:  Inserts current date/time according to format
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 */
function smarty_insert_time($params, Smarty_Internal_Template $template)
{
    if (empty($params['format'])) {
        trigger_error("insert time: missing 'format' parameter");
        return;
    }
    return strftime($params['format']);
}
?>
