Smarty

I would like to use something like a switch construct in Smarty. I could also use many many else-ifs, but switch would be a better and faster solution.

messju has provided at least two different example plugins at different times for doing switch -- try searching the forums. Feel free to post the threads here if you can find 'em Smile

You might as well throw a {break} in there too Smile

This has been discussed before. I think the reasons it was never added:

* only an alternate to what can already be done with if/else
* would be used very infrequently (this is a template after all, not a program)
* yet another template construct to support and document

Ok, then sorry for that. But the search hasn't found anything Smile

Probably I'll write something at my own and poste it here Wink
