Smarty comes with several built-in functions. Built-in functions
are integral to the template language. You cannot create custom
functions with the same names, nor can you modify built-in functions.
capture is used to collect the output of the template into a
variable instead of displaying it. Any content between {capture
name="foo"} and {/capture} is collected into the variable specified
in the name attribute. The captured content can be used in the
template from the special variable $smarty.capture.foo where foo is
the value passed in the name attribute. If you do not supply a name
attribute, then "default" will be used. All {capture} commands must
be paired with {/capture}. You can nest capture commands.
Technical Note: Smarty 1.4.0 - 1.4.4 placed the captured content into the
variable named $return. As of 1.4.5, this behavior was changed to use
the name attribute, so update your templates accordingly.
Caution | Be careful when capturing {insert} output. If
you have caching turned on and you have {insert}
commands that you expect to run within cached content, do not
capture this content.

Example 7-1. capturing template content {* we don't want to print a table row unless content is displayed *}
{capture name=banner}
{include file="get_banner.tpl"}
{/capture}
{if $smarty.capture.banner ne ""}
<tr>
<td>
{$smarty.capture.banner}
</td>
</tr>
{/if} |
