 Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:25 am Post subject: Change the value of a Smarty var during foreach |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm using a Smarty template to show a list of blog posts. The template file obviously(?) contains a {foreach} loop to show them sequentally:
| Code: | {foreach $previews as $post}
<article class="{$class.post}" id="{$post.id}">
....
</article>
{/foreach} |
Everything works, but now I want to mark some of them as "draft". I thought to use the value of {$class.post}: it's just a predefined string "item-post", but for some articles I would like it to be "item-post draft".
Now the problem: how can I get inside each loop, check if the post is a draft, then change the value of {$class.post} accordingly?
Moreover: the template file should be as simple as possible (actually it should remain the same as now). I'll not be the maintainer of the template file, but I can change the logic behind on the PHP.
Should I define a custom foreach loop (like {iterateposts})?... Or is all of this a bad practice?
Thanks for the help |

How will you find out if a post is a draft?
I would not reassign {$class.post} in the foreach loop because the original content gets lost. Perhaps you can load $class['postdraft'] in your PHP script with "item-post draft"
| Code: | {foreach $previews as $post}
<article class="{if put draft condition here}{$class.postdraft}{else}{$class.post}{/if}" id="{$post.id}">
....
</article>
{/foreach} |

On the PHP side I have access at each post object (in fact I assign the list of posts to the $previews variable). Then I call fetch() to generate the HTML from the template.
Anyway, the solution you described is ok but it makes the template a little harder to customize (I must leave it really, really, simple). I'm thinking to create a customized for-loop for the list of articles, so I can use it this way:
| Code: |
{iterateposts $previews as $post}
<article class="{$class.post}" id="{$post.id}">
....
</article>
{/iterateposts}
|
"iterateposts" should be defined like the Smarty's foreach, but with a difference: for each loop, it changes the value of $class.post based on the $post->isDraft property.
Is it possible to do this? |

You can just make template function that output necessary class name based on certain input value.
No need for any convoluted stuff you're trying to implement.
| Code: | <article class="{myproperclass $post.isDraft}" id="{$post.id}">
....
</article> |
Also, I hope you remember, that idref can't start from number? |

Can you explain this last line? What's the "idref" you're talking about? |
