In smarty I'm having to load data from an object using a function ala: $obj->Function1(1) I then want to be able to acces a value that function returns like this: $obj->Function1(1)->name but get this error "unrecognized tag: $cat->getSubCategories(1)->name " is there an easy way of getting this done?
You may have to assign the result of Function1() to a variable. It's not pretty but it should work.
{assign var='foobar' value=$cat->getSubCategories(1)}
{$foobar->name}

In Smarty: is it possible to call a PHP function (from the controller class) inside the template? there is explained, how to call class methods out of template files.
You nee to assign the object like
$smarty->assign('a', new Controller);
and you can use it like
{$a->foo(5)}
But what, if I want to pass a smarty array value as parameter? It should be something like this:
{foreach from=$dataset item=data}
{$a->foo($data.id)}
{/foreach}
for sure, this won't work. But how can this issue be handled?

This is what you need?
We got a shopsystem working with Smarty. I need to pass some Smarty variables to a PHP function and get the return.
What I know and also did so far is the following:
{$order_id|#get_order_total}
So this passes the Smarty Variable "$order_id" to a included PHP file which contains the function get_order_total($order_id) and shows me the return of this function.
Now I need to pass 3 variables to a PHP function. The function would for example look like this:
handleDebit($order, $payCode, $insertId)
Sadly i have not found the right thing so far in smarty documentation. Anyone has ever done this?
If you really need to call the function from within smarty templates, register a wrapper function as smarty-plugin:
<?php
$smarty->registerPlugin("function","handleDebit", "handleDebitSmarty");
function handleDebitSmarty($params, $smarty)
{
return handleDebit($params['order'], $params['payCode'], $params['insertId']);
}
Now you can use it as smarty tag:
{handleDebit order=$blah payCode=$blub insertId=$yeahh}
But you should consider #JonSterling s advice and try to find a way auch that a controller is doing the handleDebit-call and you only handle results/display-stuff in the template.
I have a plugin function which should be used to modify a given Smarty variable which is an array.
After reading the docs, it looks like this should be the way to do it:
$var = &$smarty->getTemplateVars($params['var']);
$var['blah'] = 'aaa';
... but it doesn't work. The array, as seen by other template code after the call to this plugin function, sees the array unmodified.
So, how can a plugin function modify a template variable?
Unless someone figures out a solution, it looks like it cannot be done in a "function" plugin type. It can be done in a "modifier", though.
I'm quite new to smarty template in php. I want to assign a value to a variable inside the smarty template:
{assign var=all_person_exams value={$gdao->getGrade({$val->getTotal()},{$smarty.session.schoolsection})}
The value returned by the method $gdao->getGrade(...) is an array. This method has been thoroughly tested without smarty. But, it's not working here. How do i go about it?
Note: it should have returned a value when i do something like: {$all_person_exams.grade}
Try
{assign var=all_person_exams value=$gdao->getGrade($smarty.session.schoolsection)}
Smarty assign
or even
{$all_person_exams=$gdao->getGrade($smarty.session.schoolsection)}
Smarty short form assign
In a smarty template I call a user defined function, as a modifier like that:
{"myArray"|assignArray}
my user defined function in php looks as:
function smarty_modifier_assignArray($str)
{
global $smarty;
if ($str=="myArray")
{
// it is not constant in real, but comes from a mysql query
$all = array( array("foo","joe")), array("green", "blue"));
$smarty->assign($str,$all);
}
return null;
}
My purpose is that loading "myArray" from mysql is expensive, and if my template do not need that
array, I don't want to load it. My template follows as:
{"myArray"|assignArray}
{foreach from=$myArray item=r}
{$r[0]}
{/foreach}
The problem is, that in the foreach I can't see $myArray (or it is empty). I read in the smarty forum (v3.x, http://www.smarty.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=77671 ) that for speed optimalization the variables are copied to the template space, so after starting a template, one can not assign new variables onto that. Sadly it seems true. I suppose using template {assign ...} I still could do that, but I was not able to generate dynamical multi-level arrays into that {assign ...} :(
What should I do? Any ideas?
You can assign smarty multilevel array while rendering,
use {assign} tag for it.
Syntax,
{assign var=foo value=[1,[9,8],3]} // can be nested
