How can I add a function to Twig?
-
Hello,
I’m trying to add a new function to the plugin’s implementation of Twig, to allow me to perform some string manipulation on data pulled from Alexa. I think I can use the hook “wordpresscrm_after_twig_ready” to hang my function definition on. However, my function seems to be ignored by Twig (when I try to use the function I get an error).
Can you please point me in the right direction to work out what I’m doing wrong? I’m using the premium version of the plugin, if that helps. Thank you.
The hook looks like this:
do_action( 'wordpresscrm_after_twig_ready', $twigEnv );Location: /wp-content/plugins/integration-dynamics/src/Shortcode/Twig.php
My code looks like this:
function bespoke_twig( $twigEnv ) { $urlifyFunction = new \Twig_SimpleFunction( 'urlify', function( $string ) { /* manipulate $string here */ return $string; } ); $twigEnv->addFunction( $urlifyFunction ); return $twigEnv; } add_action('wordpresscrm_after_twig_ready', 'bespoke_twig', 10, 1);Location: functions.php
The error looks like this:
Template syntax error: Unknown "urlify" function in "template" at line 1.

Hi Jon,
I think
wordpresscrm_after_twig_readyis a tad too late for hooking the custom function but let me confirm with devs what’s the right place.Since you’re premium subscriber, can you also ping us at [email protected] for speedier resolution?
Thanks
GeorgeThanks George – I’ve emailed your support team as requested.
Jon
Hi Jon,
The code you’re using looks correct, and I checked – it works just fine. Are you sure you’re editing the functions.php file of the active theme? Also, where do you call add_action()? Inside another action handler or in the outermost scope of the file?
Pavel
Hi @wizardist
The function is in an include called by functions.php – there are a few other functions in the include, and they’re working as expected. The add_action() is in the outermost scope of the file.
Do you think there might be some kind of caching active that might be circumventing my code?
Thanks,
JonCaching was not my original idea, it was rather order of execution, i.e. add_action() being called after the action has been already emitted. As for caching, could you share your environment details? Also, try dropping the Twig cache if it’s enabled (wp-content/uploads/wpcrm-storage/twig/*).
WordPress version, plugins, PHP version, things like executing inside VirtualBox with a shared folder mounted, etc. Anything can be relevant, because this is super-weird as I have the same exact code running just fine.
Thanks @wizardist.
Really odd that you are not seeing any error. How are you trying to call the function? I’m calling it within the context of the [msdyncrm_inline] shortcode, if that helps.
Dropping the cache has no effect.
Here are the environment details:
PHP: 7.0.30 (detailed info here: https://westsidelondonhosting.co.uk/phpinfo.php)
Wordpress: 4.9.7
Plugins:
Advanced Custom Fields Pro: 5.6.4
All in one Favicon: 4.6
Dynamics 365 Integration: 1.2.13
Dynamics 365 Integration Premium: 1.2.3
Gravity Forms: 2.2.6.5
Gravity Forms Event Tracking: 2.1.1
Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On: 3.9
WP SEO HTML Sitemap: 0.9.6
Yoast SEO: 7.8Oh, noes. [msdyncrm_inline] is deprecated in favor of a more powerful [msdyncrm_twig].
HTH
Thanks for that @wizardist – it hasn’t changed the outcome, though.
Did you have any further thoughts having seen the environment details?
Jon,
[msdyncrm_inline] is not supposed to support twig at all. Can you share the [msdyncrm_twig] fragment of your page where you invoke the function?
Thanks
GeorgeHi @alexacrm,
Actually, I made a mistake when I said replacing [msdyncrm_inline] with [msdyncrm_twig] didn’t affect the site – in fact, it stopped the query working.
Here’s the [msdyncrm_inline] snippet. Importantly, when [msdyncrm_twig] was used it didn’t complain about the new function, so I suspect it might be accepting it. However, since the change of shortcode broke the query I now need to work out a way of using [msdyncrm_twig] so I can confirm using [msdyncrm_inline] was the problem.
I’m new to Twig, so any pointers you can give me will be great – but don’t feel you have to.
Thanks,
Jon<?php echo do_shortcode("[msdyncrm_inline] {% block fetchxml %} <fetch distinct='false' mapping='logical' output-format='xml-platform' version='1.0'> <entity name='new_building'> <attribute

I fathomed what I was doing wrong with the fetchxml construct, and can confirm my custom function now works. Using [msdyncrm_twig] instead of the deprecated [msdyncrm_inline] shortcode was the answer all along.
Many thanks for your time and assistance!

Great to hear, Jon, thank you for your patience.
We’ll be publishing a guide how to extend twig at some point in the future but looks like you’ve got it under control now.
