hmm, "no" from me. i'm not the overall authority on this, but nobody
else seems to care right now.
i'd do the following:
make plugins_dir an array('myplugins/', SMARTY_DIR . 'plugins');
put your modified modifier.date_format in 'myplugins/'
- your date_format will override smarty's, since it is found earlier
in the plugins_dir-path
- no problems when you upgrade smarty or switch version in other ways
that's what i do, when i have modifications on the distributions'
plugins that don't fit into the distribution.
as for setlocale: since php-4.3.0 setlocale can take an array of
locales and tries all them until one can be set successfully. so get
hold of the correct locale-names of all the supported
operating-systems of your application and pass all of them to
setlocale(). that's the easiest solution, IMHO.
