RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering?

Because I don't want to change all my display calls... Overriding for this is just a hack to circunvent the lack of a switch, IMHO devels Override Smarty methods when they want the method to behave in a particular way for his application. Using or not using OB is something that doesn't depend on the application. > -----Original Message----- > From: messju mohr [mailto:messju@lammfellpuschen.de] > Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 10:01 AM > To: luis > Cc: 'boots'; 'Smarty Dev' > Subject: Re: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering? > > > On Wed, May 07, 2003 at 09:05:03AM -0300, luis wrote: > > I see some of you disagree with enabling OB for display(). > For this an > > backwards-semantic-compatibility I think that the best option is to > > provide a switch to use or not use OB in display defalting > to no (what > > previous versions used).
