Some changes to Smarty

Hi, I have created some new Smarty plugins, and two patches to other smarty plugins. There are too many lines to post it here, that is why I made it available at http://www.klaban.torun.pl/patches/smarty/ There are available the following plugins: 1. Assign smart variables from PHP eval'ed values: function.assign_php.php function.eval_php.php Example of usage: {assign_php var="colorarr" value="array('#FFFFFF','#AAAAAA','#BBBBBB','#C0C0C0')"} {eval_php assign="coloridx" var="rand(0,3)"} <font color="{$colorarr.$coloridx}">Test</font> 2. Localization (changed plugins): modifier.date_format.php (not new plugin, only patched) function.html_select_date.php (new 'locale_time' parameter) {$smarty.now|date_format:"%e %B %Y %T":"":"PL"} // date in Polish {$smarty.now|date_format:"%e %B %Y %T":"":"DE"} // date in German ^^^^ - additional locale argument Select date in Polish with Polish field order: {html_select_date locale_time="pl" field_order="DMY"} Select date in English (if web server locale is not 'en'): {html_select_date locale_time="en"} 3. New plugins - presenting arrays as a set of INPUT HTML elements either radio boxes or checkbox-es (similar to html_options): function.html_radio.php function.html_checkbox.php Example usage (similar to html_options; new 'name' parameter): {html_radio name="test-radio[]" values=$vals selected=$selected output=$output} {html_checkbox name="test-checkbox[]" values=$vals selected=$selected output=$output} gives e.g.: <input type="radio" name="test-radio[]" value="1" /> A<br> <input type="radio" name="test-radio[]" value="2" checked="checked" /> B<br> <input type="radio" name="test-radio[]" value="3" checked="checked" /> C<br> <input type="checkbox" name="test-checkbox[]" value="1" /> A<br> <input type="checkbox" name="test-checkbox[]" value="2" checked="checked" /> B<br> <input type="checkbox" name="test-checkbox[]" value="3" checked="checked" /> C<br> You can also add all_extra parameter. E.g. all_extra="onClick='...'" 4. APPENDING VALUES (function.append.php and function.strcat.php) Documentation is not clear in the Chapter 13, about what 'append' method can do. I thought that it is a mthod for concatenation, like a dot in PHP. What I realize is that append makes an ARRAY and appends new value as a last item of the array. BTW in append_by_ref in Chapter 13 there is a spell mistake - Technical note talks about assign_by_append() while it should be append_by_ref(), and example is 'void assign()' while it should be append_by_ref(). Last two new plugins: function.append.php - calls $smarty->append() on a given variable function.strcat.phps - adds new value to the end of the string variable Example usage: {assign var="name" value="Smarty"} {strcat var="name" value=" Template"} {$name} gives output: 'Smarty Template' Best regards, -- Piotr Klaban
