<title>Writing Plugins</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
For the plugins that are registered at runtime, the name of the plugin
function(s) does not have to follow the naming convention.
</para>
<para>
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:
</para>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
require_once $smarty->_get_plugin_filepath('function', 'html_options');
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
<para>
As a general rule, Smarty object is always passed to the plugins
as the last parameter (with two exceptions: modifiers do not get
passed the Smarty object at all and blocks get passed
<parameter>&amp;$repeat</parameter> after the Smarty object to keep
backwards compatibility to older versions of Smarty).
</para>
