I found that the Smarty Bundle is no longer at the location given in this article. It is now at: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/PHP Smarty.tmbundle/

So the command to get it would now be:

svn --username anon --password anon co \
    "http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/PHP Smarty.tmbundle/"

I also did not find an option to “Edit Languages…” in the Language popup at the bottom of TextMate. Instead, I found it under Bundles->Bundle Editor->Show Bundle Editor which brought up the dialog box mentioned here. (Note that you want to choose the Languages category)

If you are using different delimiters you’ll probably have to edit the bundle yourself. I’m not its author so I can’t really say where the edit(s) are needed.

Good luck.

Hello, thanks for that nice hint. I'm using Smarty within my Xoops-Projects, where Smarty uses <{}> instead of {}. How can I tell the Smarty-Bundle to recognize <{}> ?

First of all, thanks for this article as it got me up and running quickly with my first svn bundle.

In regards to getting the snippets/tab triggers working. I notice two problems. First off is that the scope for all the snippets is text.html.smarty which is wrong. You are in text.html when you invoke a smarty snippet (except for the modifiers I guess). If you change the scope to text.html they will work as advertised (remember to click out of the snippet in the editor in order for it to be saved/applied). Secondly, they don't work with smart typing. The tab triggers start with a curly brace, which will automatically create the closing brace, then the trigger creates a redundant brace.

I also have to nitpick the snippets that are literally equal to their tab triggers? What's the point?

Anyway, I really appreciate the effort that went into creating the smarty bundle, but I'd like to see a lot more. Maybe I'll get off my ass and try to contribute... mabe :)

When I type on the line that is SMARTY the TextMate, now, beeps. Why is that and how can I silence it? Thanks

I just checked it out fine. Make sure your are not checking it out in another svn folder maybe? Or maybe this was a fluke as they were doing updates?

I'd try again. Else, email TextMate for support (as I don't manage their svn repo).

While trying to download (checkout) this bundle I got this error: subversion/libsvnwc/lock.c:158: (aprerr=155004) svn: Working copy 'Smarty.tmbundle' locked svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

How can I download this bundle ? Thanks.

Sorry Ryan, I don’t have any experience or thoughts “incorporate the Smarty triggers into the HTML bundle.”

Any thoughts on how to incorporate the Smarty triggers into the HTML bundle?
