<?php
$smarty->registerPlugin("function","date_now", "print_current_date");

function print_current_date($params, $smarty)
{
  if(empty($params["format"])) {
    $format = "%b %e, %Y";
  } else {
    $format = $params["format"];
  }
  return strftime($format,time());
}
?>

And in the template

{date_now}

{or to format differently}
{date_now format="%Y/%m/%d"}

<?php
// function declaration
function do_translation ($params, $content, $smarty, &$repeat, $template)
{
  if (isset($content)) {
    $lang = $params["lang"];
    // do some translation with $content
    return $translation;
  }
}

// register with smarty
$smarty->registerPlugin("block","translate", "do_translation");
?>

Where the template is:

{translate lang="br"}Hello, world!{/translate}

<?php

// let's map PHP's stripslashes function to a Smarty modifier.
$smarty->registerPlugin("modifier","ss", "stripslashes");

?>

In the template, use ss to strip slashes.

<?php
{$var|ss}
?>
