Parameters in User Defined Tags?

[finster]

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a way to have parameters within user defined tags. I have had a good look around but can't find any information on creating tags.

I basically want to pass in a string to the tag, and for the tag to then spit out a with the string inside.

e.g.{ image_link("hedgehog") } would go to something like 

I have the PHP ready, I just need to get it into a tag. Or will I have to use a proper tag? Is there any basic info on creating tags/user defined tags?

I have tried testing the basics of this in a user defined tag but it doesn't want to work (smarty errors) : -

name: image_link($fname)
code: echo $fname;


Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers.

{image_link src='hedgehog'} can be done with:

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="'.$params['src'].'.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="t_'.$params['src'].'.jpg"></a>';

Excellent - thanks very much - thought it could be done - just my syntax. My hedgehog is now being displayed

For reference if anybody looks at this again, wishy's code goes in the "code" section of the user defined tag, the "name" doesn't need anything extra - just the name of the tag (in my case "image_link").

Thanks again!
