Hi All,
Writting own smarty plugins is very easy. In your smarty based applications, you
can create own plugins when you want to simplify your logic.

 Here is a short guideline and an example to write your own smarty pugins:
  
   1. Create plugin file named function.yourpluginname.php in the smarty plugins
directory
   2. Define a function named smarty_function_yourpluginname(and parameters
 $params, &$smarty)
   3. Use this plugin from template file same as the other plugins
 
   Lets say our plugin name is "encloseByText". So our function.encloseByText.php file should contain this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
   <?php
       function smarty_function_encloseByText($params, &$smarty)
       {
          $string = $params['string'];
          $text   = $params['text'];
         
          return $text.$string.$text;
         
       }

   ?>
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   And our template file will use this plugin as:
   {encloseByText string="InputString" text="delim"}
 
   Output will be : delimInputStringdelim
 
   That's all of creating and using a smarty plugin. This is just an example.
  
   Hope you will enjoy !!
