[Plugin: Smarty for WordPress] Plugins Not Working

  • On a default install (after creating the directories in the theme) when I do a simple test it fails with “unknown modifier”.

    {$name|upper}

    If I copy the modifier file from:
    plugins/smarty-for-wordpress/plugins/modifier.lower.php

    to the theme plugins folder then it works.

    And thanks for a great plugin! I really hope this is maintained and kept current because Smarty + WordPress is a powerful combination.

    A little more information on this:

    If I copy the files from the plugins/smarty-for-wordpress/plugins/ folder to the theme plugins folder, some things work, but other things cause a “Cannot redeclare” error because it’s trying to include the function in both places.

    So having all files in either place or both places doesn’t work.

    I think it ~may~ have something to do with only the theme plugin directory being declared, so maybe something like this would work:

    $smarty->plugins_dir[] = ‘[wordpress-path]/plugins/smarty-for-wordpress/plugins/’;
    $smarty->plugins_dir[] = get_theme_root().”/”.get_template().”/plugins”;

    But so far no luck. I would love a solution to this since I can’t really proceed without it.

    OK, I think I figured it out.

    About 4 places in smarty-for-wordpress.php there is this line:
    $smarty->plugins_dir = get_theme_root().”/”.get_template().”/plugins”;

    That is overwriting the directory in the plugin folder (smarty-for-wordpress/plugins/) so that ONLY the theme plugins folder is getting checked.

    Instead it should ~add~ a plugin folder (so both folders are read) by having the square brackets:
    $smarty->plugins_dir[] = get_theme_root().”/”.get_template().”/plugins”;

    After I made that change everything works as expected (I also had to clear my theme/templates_c/ folder).

    Thanks again for a great plugin!
