repeatable blocks

hello smarty-dev, i added a new (4th) parameter to block-functions recently. the parameter is boolean, called $repeat and passed by reference to the function. so the function prototype to reads now function smarty_block_foo($params, $content, &$smarty, &$repeat) you shouldn't notice any difference in the behaviour of your block-functions regardless wether you use the old or the new prototype. if you see a difference, please report this as a bug to me. :) $repeat is set to true on the first call to your block-function. $repeat is set to false on any subsequent call to your block-function this is nothing new, one could also say: $repeat = !isset($content) but since the parameter is passed by reference it can be maninpulated by your block-function-plugins. by setting $repeat inside your block-function to true, you can tell smarty to "repeat" the block. that is: call the block-function another time with the content between {foo}...{/foo} evaluated another time and assigned to the $content-parameter. as a special case you can also set $repeat to false on the very first-call to you block-functions, to make the block between {foo}...{/foo} not evaluated at all. that's all behind it. i hope you like it. report if you encounter problems, but give also feedback, if you have useful applications for it :) greetings messju
