Smarty

[feti]

What I'd like to do is mimic the conditional {if} block style, but inside a custom block that accesses custom smarty variables.

I have two attributes, a param and a message. What my block function does is check if a validation error has occured on the parameter with the given name, and if so, sets the smarty variable stored in 'message' to the error message, like so:

{sum_iferror param=first_name message=message}
Error: {$message}
{/sum_iferror}

However, I want to tell smarty to ignore everything inside, or stop processing of the content if an error isn't set. Is there any way to have Smarty to skip everything from inside the function declaration?

Nevermind, the thought bypassed me. I just don't echo the actual content. For some reason I thought it was automatically printed.
