Call Smarty Modifier Function Syntax

[nagrap2 +]

Hi,

I have written my own modifier plugin with the following header, please can someone tell me what is the syntax to call this from within a tpl file?

function smarty_modifier_custom_output_age($date_of_birth)

I have tried the following but get an error:

{custom_output_age date_of_birth=$extra}

I think you need to rename it to smarty_function_custom_output_age($date_of_birth)

Modifiers are little functions that are applied to a variable in the template before it is displayed or used in some other context. Modifiers can be chained together.

Then it could be called in the template as: {custom_output_age date_of_birth=$extra}

I think that you actually need to name the Smarty function file itself:
smarty_function_custom_output_age

Within the file, you need to have your function with this type of syntax:
function smarty_modifier_custom_output_age($date_of_birth)

Then you call the function from within your tpl file like this
{custom_output_age date_of_birth=$extra}
