I have a simple Smarty template that checks for the existence of a number variables that it assumes may have been passed in by the calling template but if not set then defaults them to something appropriate. Here's the code:

Code:
{* DEFAULTS *}
{if not isset($field_id)}
   {$field_id="form-button-action"}
{/if}
{if not isset($field_name)}
   {$field_name="Submit"}
{/if}
{if not isset($btn_type)}
   {$btn_type="success"}
{/if}
{if not isset($action_btn_text)}
   {$action_btn_text=$field_name }
{/if}
{if no isset($action)}
   {$action="ajax-submit::{$action_btn_text}"}
{/if}
{if no isset($target)}
   {$target='body'}
{/if}


It was working but I added a few more and now I get the message
Quote:
Syntax Error in template ... on line 28 "{if no isset($action)}"; too many shorthand attributes


I'm not sure I understand what this really means in this case. Is there a limited to how many {if}{/if} blocks a template can have? I have tried removing each one-by-one, and then a few at a time. It does work if I remove the test for $action and $target but I just remove two others at random (testing the idea that its the number of conditional blocks) it doesn't appear to work. Strange.

Ok, I'm an idiot. It had to do with the last two blocks having a "no" instead of "not" operator. Jeez. Still interested in what this error means so I can become more knowledgable but consider this problem solved.

In many cases Smarty tags accept unnamed attributes (shorthands).
For example the shorthand for {include file='foo.tpl'} is {include 'foo.tpl'}.

In your case the unknown 'no' caused the misleading error message.
