Smarty

[konrados]

Hello.

I'm using Smarty v. 2.6.28 (old, legacy code).

I have an array in Smarty template. I do "foreach".

Now I need to do {if someFunction ($row.var1, $row.var2) } .... I hope you know what I mean. I need to pass two arguments to a function available in Smarty template.

The someFunction is the PHP function, right now it is registered with register_function

I thought I can do something like this:
{if checkRights role=$row.userRole activity=$row.userActivity} ...

But it ends up with:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected quoted-string (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in xyz/smarty/Smarty.class.php(1935) : eval()'d code on line 26

So, how can I do this?

Update:
Calling the function without "if" works fine. But I need it in "if".

OK, never mind - I handled it.

I do $smarty->assign('result',$someResult) in registered function and then I read that value in Smarty template.

I would adwise to rethink.
Sudden appearance of variables is a headache you don't want to deal with in any project.
What if the next maintainer of your code pass the same named variable to the template, and you just screw it with your stealth assign?

Thanks AnrDaemon, I haven't noticed your answer, and got no notification.

How do you suggest to do that?

Smarty (at least in my version) doesn't allow { if some_function params1=something }
