Curly braces inside a function argument

[Ben Davis-3]

How can put curly braces inside of a function argument?  Is it not
possible?  everything I've tried doesn't seem to work:

{myfunc test="foo {bar}"}
{myfunc test='foo {bar}'}
{myfunc test="foo {ldelim}bar{rdelim}"}

No matter what, smarty always percieves the first closing brace as the
closing brace for the function itself.   Should this be considered a bug?

Not sure if it's the "best" way but did you try:

{myfunc test="foo {ldelim}bar{rdelim}"}

How about using the html entities:

}
{

Or URL encoding:

%7B
%7D

Then simply decode in your function.

This is not a bug.. if you *really* had to you could change your smarty
template delimiters and the problem would go away.

Hi.

It is a limitation of the parser. There are two ways that I can think of off
the top of my head to do this, but I suggest the latter:

1) use an assigning {capture} block to embed an {ldelim}/{rdelim} into a static
text block;

2) use the $smarty.ldelim and $smarty.rdelim can be used. Just remember the
syntax for embedding vars in quotes:
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.syntax.quotes.php

eg: {myfunc test="foo `$smarty.ldelim`bar`$smarty.rdelim`"}

hope that helps

it isn't a bug

when I have to generate javascript and/or css
I use:

  class AxSmarty extends Smarty {

    function __construct() {
      $this->left_delimiter = '[[';
      $this->right_delimiter = ']]';
    }
  };

then simply
  [[myfunc test="foo {bar}"]]
