How to get Smarty working in MARS [message #1699946]

Hi,

last roadblock to swtich from my zend 9 to this new PDT release is that I can't get smarty to run.

I downloaded the latest 0.9.1 from google code (https://code.google.com/p/smartypdt/downloads/list), but it won't install.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Smarty Feature 0.91.0 (org.eclipse.php.smarty_feature.feature.group 0.91.0)
  Missing requirement: Smarty Feature 0.91.0 (org.eclipse.php.smarty_feature.feature.group 0.91.0) requires 'org.eclipse.php 0.0.0' but it could not be found

I also found a repository that claims to have a fix in it. But it seams to be just a Maven project: https://github.com/pulse00/smartypdt/pull/2
I am not used to Maven. So is there any compiled version/solution around? Or is there a neat trick to install a plugin from just this, that I am not aware of?

Any hint appreciated,
Torge.

Hi,

I already visited this page which in the end directed me to google code:

http://p2-dev.pdt-extensions.org/editors.html#smarty

Am I missing something?

Greetings,
Torge.

Ah thank you very much. That was the missing piece of information.

I wounder why this is not part of the PHP Eclipse distribution standard repositories.

This is IP limitation. Official packages can contain only Eclipse Foundation plugins / update sites.

But we plan to introduce built-in PDT discovery wizard to promote external solutions, see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433676

Makes sense. Thx for the info.

Anyhow I am just really glad that PHP got resurrected as official eclipse project again. Best IDE there is IMHO. And its so much faster than Zend 9 now.

Hi,

I have installed Smarty Feature on a new Eclipse PDT (Mars) as described and the Content Type .tpl is now assigned to Smarty Editor. Syntax highlighting seems to work, but autocompletion and the configured templates doesn't work with Strg + Space. Popup displays "no proposals".

Is there a trick to enable autocompletion and how can I use the templates of the Eclipse Preferences?

Thanks for any advice
Erik

As I see smarty isn't fully compatible with PDT 3.5 due internal parser changes.

Hi, I fixed 2 direct incompatibilities with PDT 3.5 and published to pdt-eg mirrors. Hope this fix your issue.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately still no proposals. Syntax highlighting would actually be enough for me but I noticed, that code indentation with Alt-Key doesn't work with Smarty Editor if two or more lines are selected. I would expect that this is a strong feature across all Eclipse editors.?

Sorry for delay.

As I saw in code smartypdt is in general hacked php editor (subclass). I'm not sure what should work and what shouldn't. I'm only trying to keep it in sync with PDT changes.

Personally I prefer Twig Razz
