The new Pearified package Smarty-2.6.7 (stable) has been released at
http://pearified.com/
Release notes
-------------
- fix handling of hashed opening php-tags inside strip-blocks (messju)
- removed border tag from html_image function (monte)
- change escape:url use rawurlencode() instead of urlencode() (messju)
- make $smarty.const.FOO compile to "FOO", and not to "constant'foo'".
this is less code and a little faster execution. note that undefined
constants are now displayed as the constant's name. (messju)
- make block functions and registered objects' block methods use a
local variable for block_content instead of a property of $smarty (messju)
- fix escaping in the generated code that calls smarty_core_load_plugins
(jes5199, messju)
- fix invalid HTML issue with popup (Stefanos Harhalakis, Monte)
- fixed {popup} to properly handle inarray and function parameters and added
support for mouseoff and followmouse options (boots)
Package Info
-------------
What is Smarty?
Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other
template engines for PHP provide basic variable
substitution and dynamic block functionality.
Smarty takes a step further to be a "smart"
template engine, adding features such as
configuration files, template functions, and
variable modifiers, and making all of this
functionality as easy as possible to use for both
programmers and template designers. Smarty also
converts the templates into PHP scripts,
eliminating the need to parse the templates on
every invocation. This makes Smarty extremely
scalable and manageable for large application
needs.
Some of Smarty's features:
* it is extremely fast
* no template parsing overhead, only compiles once.
* it is smart about recompiling only the template
files that have changed.
* the template language is remarkably extensible
via the plugin architecture.
* configurable template delimiter tag syntax, so
you can use {}, {{}}, <!--{}-->, or whatever you
like.
* built-in caching of template output.
* arbitrary template sources (filesystem,
databases, etc.)
* template if/elseif/else/endif constructs are
passed to the PHP parser, so the if syntax can be
as simple or as complex as you like.
* unlimited nesting of sections, conditionals,
etc. allowed
* it is possible to embed PHP code right in your
template files, although not recommended and
doubtfully needed since the engine is so
customizable.
* and many more.
