{setfilter}

The {setfilter}...{/setfilter} block tag allows the definition of template instance's variable filters.

SYNTAX: {setfilter filter1\|filter2\|filter3\....}\...{/setfilter}

The filter can be:

• A variable filter plugin specified by it's name.
• A modifier specified by it's name and optional additional parameter.

{setfilter}...{/setfilter} blocks can be nested. The filter definition of inner blocks does replace the definition of the outer block.

Template instance filters run in addition to other modifiers and filters. They run in the following order: modifier, default_modifier, $escape_html, registered variable filters, autoloaded variable filters, template instance's variable filters. Everything after default_modifier can be disabled with the nofilter flag.

> Note > > The setting of template instance filters does not affect the output of > included subtemplates.
