Interesting WordPress Smarty Functions

Here are some interesting Smarty equivalents of WordPress functions I hadn’t come across before:
{get_lastpostdate}
or{get_lastpostmodified}
- returns a timestamp, such as 2005-10-16 07:10:51 that contains the last post date.{get_lastcommentmodified}
is identical, but for the last comment.{human_time_diff from=n to=n}
- similar to a script I wrote about, and implemented. Limited in that it only does days, not any larger unit. Advantage: done by the server, doesn’t ‘flash’ changing text via JavaScript, neater than my Smarty version.{get_day_link}
- much neater than the version I was using! Generates the URI as described. Also{get_page_link}
,{get_year_link}
,{get_month_link}
and{get_feed_link}
.{globalvar var=varname value=value}
- makes a value a global PHP variable. Very interesting…
