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.
