Lots of operators for text are needed, they could be placed in a module. E.g. substr, contains, containsregexp, startswith, endswith, replace, explode etc.

I am wondering if we really need to keep extending ez with more and more php functions.
What about a more flexible framework that may allow a function and parameters through on the template level to the php call underneath. That way the door is open to do more.
Obviously this would be limited to simple operators...

But that's what Gunnstein suggested: they are thean available for use in templates.

I thought he was suggesting defining new operators that mapped to php ones. I would prefer a generic way of letting operators through...

Yes, I was thinking about mapping. The ability to use PHP code directly could be useful. Don't know how complex it would be to do that, though.

I think it is good to have some string function/operators in the template engine.
That way we can better design the content returning from the contentobjects.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read, the eZTemplatePHPOperator already offers the means for adding such facilities. Couldn't be to hard to make a module, no?
