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 <link linkend="variable.plugins.dir">plugins directory</link>
|
|
|
|
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.
