Smarty

[Stormtrooper]

Hi,

It would be nice to have some form of an Ternary operator in Smarty. ie: var = $istrue ? 'this' : 'that';

I'm not sure how it would be implemented within the syntax of Smarty currently. It would be partially possible to create a new function plugin to allow for something like this:

[mohrt]

It wouldn't be added to the core, this only obfuscates what can already be done with {if}{else}{/if}. However, write a custom function/modifier and post it to the wiki. Functionality suggestions:

function:

{ternary test=$mightbetrue true='yes' false='no' assign='foobar'}

modifier:

{$mightbetrue|ternary:'yes':'no'}
