This is the directory or directories where Smarty will look for the
plugins that it needs. Default is
plugins/ under the
SMARTY_DIR.
If you supply a relative path, Smarty will first look under the
SMARTY_DIR, then
relative to the current working directory, then relative to the PHP
include_path. If $plugins_dir
is an array of directories, Smarty will
search for your plugin in each plugin directory
in the order they are given.
For best performance, do not setup your $plugins_dir
to have to use the PHP include path. Use an absolute pathname,
or a path relative to SMARTY_DIR or the current
working directory.
As of Smarty 3.1 the attribute $plugins_dir is no longer accessible directly. Use
getPluginsDir(),
setPluginsDir() and
addPluginsDir() instead.
