 |
|
Hi,
i try to get the first letter of an entry, but i always get "0" instead of the real letter. Is this call correct or is there a mistake in the syntax?
| Code: | 1. {assign var=$first-letter value='$entry->name|truncate:1:"":true'}
2. {assign var=first-letter value='$entry->name|substr:0:1'} |
A hint would be so nice.

| The problem may be the dash "-" in the var name, did you try a var without a dash? |

Thanks, good hint. This is the correct code:
| Code: | | {assign var=firstletter value=$entry->company_name|substr:0:1} |
