The $criteria array consists of of one or more criteria on which to perform a databased search. This array is

used for advanced cases where pre-defined helper functions do not provide required flexiblity.

Advanced Developer Reference

The reference documentation in this section is intended for advanced usage by developers.

nwa_assign

{nwa_assign …}

Smarty registered template function. Assigns a page variable based on the output of a generator function.

Simple usage example:

{nwa_assign var=my_variable value=my_value}



The “var” parameter specifies the page variable that will receive the output.



The “value” parameter specifies the value to assign to “var”.

The various request variables may also be accessed using one of two supported methods:



{nwa_assign var=_GET.get_variable value=...}



{nwa_assign var=smarty.get.get_variable value=...}

The variables that can be accessed this way are _GET (smarty.get), _POST (smarty.post), _REQUEST

(smarty.request), _SESSION (smarty.session), _COOKIE (smarty.cookies), and _ENV (smarty.env).

Assigning to values in _SESSION will persist the value for the next page load in the session.

Alternative usage example:

{nwa_assign var=userskin_plugin generator=NwaGetPluginDetails arg=$u.userskin}



The “generator” parameter specifies the generator function to be called.



A single “arg” parameter, if specified, provides a 1-argument form of calling the function; alternatively,

“arg1”, “arg2”, ... may be specified to form an array of arguments to pass to the generator.

nwa_bling

{nwa_bling …}

Smarty registered template function. Adds various kinds of visual effects to the page.

Usage example:

{nwa_bling id=$some_id type=fade}

The “id” parameter is the ID of the HTML element to which you will add add ‘bling’ effects The “type”

parameter is the kind of bling desired:



“fade”: element smoothly fades in and out



“blink”: element blinks slowly
