Smarty Patch: Calling class methods in templates / Object handling

Hi again, I have (nearly) finished my patch for Smarty to support class methods in your templates too not only class variables. Here are some examples what smarty is able do right now and whats not: {$myObject->variableName} works as expected {$myObject->getVar("variableName")} throws an "unknown tag" error :-( {foreach from=$myObjectArray item="obj"} {assign var="xyz" value=$obj->variableName} {/foreach} works as expected {foreach from=$myObjectArray item="obj"} {assign var="xyz" value=$obj->getVar("variableName")} {/foreach} throws an error that $obj is no object :-( --------- These errors occures because smarty doesn't accept class methods but only variables. After modifications on three Smarty_Compiler.php lines these are supported too now. Even modifiers on class methods are supported: {$myObject->getVar("variableName")|lower} I haven't found any side effects yet. All is working as expected. Please let me know if you find any errors. --------- MODIFICATIONS FOR SMARTY 2.3.1: Line 238: if (preg_match('!^\$\w+(?>(\[(\d+|\$\w+|\w+(\.\w+)?)\])|((\.|->)\$?\w+))*(\(.*? \))?(?>\|@?\w+(:(?>' . $qstr_regexp .
