Hello,

Here is my actual code with truncate:

Code:

<a href="{$product.url}">{$product.name|truncate:50:'...'}</a>

I want to change it, I don't want to use truncate, I need to add a line break in $product.name after 3 words.

I found this php code which allows to do it :

Code:

<?php
$test = 'one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven tweleve thirteen fourteen';
echo preg_replace('~((\w+\s){3})~', '$1' . "\n", $test);
?>

Can you please help me translate it into smarty in order to make it work with my code? I think in smarty it's not preg_replace but regex_replace. Or if you have another solution to make a line break after 3 words...

Thank you very much for your help, I am a novice.

Try:

Code:

{$name_array = " "|explode:$product.name}{foreach $name_array as $name}{if $name@index eq 3}<br>{/if}{$name} {/foreach}

Code:

{if empty($name@iteration % 3)}<br/>{/if}

So, this is MOD(3)? This will break after every third word.

Which was exactly the intent.
