If you look under extensions > plugins page then hit the name of the plugin they will tell you how to use it most times...

Yes, usually there is help for each plugin... But it shows smarty tag usage only... And I want to use plugin-function in module - it means in PHP code of any module... something like

Code: Select all

$class_name->cms_version($params,...);

Thank you. Pavel

And I want to use plugin-function in module

You can't, not like that. You may use smarty to evaluate a template, and for that you'd need to do something like:

Code: Select all

$result = $smarty->fetch('eval:{aSmartyTag}');

But it is slow and usually it should be avoided. Most of the time there are better ways to get what you want by using PHP: all plugins are made of PHP native code so you may be better off checking the source code and reproduce it... for instance: {cms_version} is just:

Code: Select all

global $CMS_VERSION;
return $CMS_VERSION;

... why would you need to call a smarty tag from PHP just for that?
