I want to assign the boolean value true or false to a variable using {assign} within a Smarty template.

Using the conventional way does what I want. But using the short hand version of {assign} creates the strings "true" and "false" instead of the boolean values true and false.

See this sample script:

Code:
<pre>
{* conventional way: creates a boolean value, correct *}
{assign var="testVar" value=true}
{$testVar|var_export:true}

{* short hand way: creates a string value, bug! *}
{assign "testVar" true}
{$testVar|var_export:true}
</pre>

Thanks, this is much better! Smile
However, what I have posted is still a bug, right?

If you feel it that way, please post an issue on GitHub.
