			Insert tags work much like include tags, except that insert tags
 | 
						|
			are not cached when you have template <link
 | 
						|
			linkend="caching">caching</link> enabled. They will be
 | 
						|
			executed on every invocation of the template.
 |

             Let's say you have a template with a banner slot at the top of
 | 
						|
             the page. The banner can contain any mixture of HTML, images,
 | 
						|
             flash, etc. so we can't just use a static link here, and we
 | 
						|
             don't want this contents cached with the page. In comes the
 | 
						|
             insert tag: the template knows #banner_location_id# and
 | 
						|
             #site_id# values (gathered from a config file), and needs to
 | 
						|
             call a function to get the banner contents.
 | 
						|
			</para>
 | 
						|
<example>
 | 
						|
<title>function insert</title>
 | 
						|
<programlisting>
 | 
						|
{* example of fetching a banner *}
 | 
						|
{insert name="getBanner" lid=#banner_location_id# sid=#site_id#}</programlisting>
 | 
						|
</example>
 | 
						|
			<para>
 | 
						|
			In this example, we are using the name "getBanner" and passing the
 | 
						|
			parameters #banner_location_id# and #site_id#. Smarty will look
 | 
						|
			for a function named insert_getBanner() in your PHP application, passing
 | 
						|
			the values of #banner_location_id# and #site_id# as the first argument
 | 
						|
			in an associative array. All insert function names in
 | 
						|
			your application must be prepended with "insert_" to remedy possible
 | 
						|
			function name-space conflicts. Your insert_getBanner() function should
 | 
						|
			do something with the passed values and return the results. These results
 | 
						|
			are then displayed in the template in place of the insert tag.
 | 
						|
			In this example, Smarty would call this function:
 | 
						|
			insert_getBanner(array("lid" => "12345","sid" => "67890"));
 | 
						|
			and display the returned results in place of the insert tag.
 | 
						|
			</para>
 | 
						|
			<para>
 | 
						|
			If you supply the "assign" attribute, the output of the insert tag
 | 
						|
			will be assigned to this template variable instead of being output
 | 
						|
			to the template. NOTE: assigning the output to a template variable
 | 
						|
			isn't too useful with caching enabled.
 | 
						|
			</para>
 | 
						|
			<para>
 | 
						|
			If you supply the "script" attribute, this php script will be
 | 
						|
			included (only once) before the insert function is executed. This
 | 
						|
			is the case where the insert function may not exist yet, and a php
 | 
						|
			script must be included first to make it work. The path can be
 | 
						|
			either absolute, or relative to $trusted_dir. When security is
 | 
						|
			enabled, the script must reside in $trusted_dir.
 | 
						|
			</para>
 | 
						|
			<para>
 | 
						|
			The Smarty object is passed as the second argument. This way you
 | 
						|
			can reference and modify information in the Smarty object from
 | 
						|
			within the insert function.
 | 
						|
			</para>

            It is possible to have portions of the template not
 | 
						|
            cached. If you have <link linkend="caching">caching</link>
 | 
						|
            turned on, insert tags will not be cached. They will run
 | 
						|
            dynamically every time the page is created, even within cached
 | 
						|
            pages. This works good for things like banners, polls, live
 | 
						|
            weather, search results, user feedback areas, etc.
