Smarty: Modifiers and &$smarty

Hi, is there a way to access the calling smarty object from withing a modifier callback function? Regular smarty callback functions get passed a list of "parameters" of the function call as a first argument and a reference to the calling smarty object as a second argument. function my_smary_func($params, &$smarty) { ...

    if (my_smarty_check_params($params, $allowed)) {

return true;

    }

$smarty->assign(); ... } That way you can not only modify the smarty object but access properties of the object. Two of them help me to generate error messages: $smarty->_current_line_no and $smarty->_current_file (btw. one should "make them public"). function my_smarty_check_params($params, $allowed, &$smarty) { .... if (...) {

     return sprintf("Error on %s %d", $smarty->_current_file, ...);

} ... } Can I do something similar with modifiers, which seem to have this format. Is there a way to access the calling smarty object? function my_smarty_modifier($value, $option = '', ...) { ??? $smarty->... ??? } Ulf
