Requirements of ternary operators within a Smarty template is too less.
I just wanted to decode Y for "Yes", and N for "No".
It can be done easily with {if}..{else}..{/if}.

I came here with a comparison first, and sending the true/false flag to the operator. But the compiled PHP output is not good as I expected.
Code:
{{'N'==$member.is_admin}|ternary:'Yes':'No'}

The above code uses ob_start(), ... buffers in its compiled PHP code.

So, I thought of passing all the values to the operator and print the codes.
Code:
{$member.is_admin|ternary:'Y':'Yes':'No'}


By the way, this kind of modifier was already written in around 2007. You may check these URLs as well.

The modifier plugin file (modifier.ternary.php) would look like:
Code:

<?php
/**
* Ternary Operator in Smarty Templates
* @param $flag Boolean Input true or false as a value is compared within the template
* @param $yes_value String Print this value when the comparision is true
* @param $no_value String Print this value when the comparision is NOT true.
*/
function smarty_modifier_ternary($original_value='', $compare_to_value='', $yes_value='', $no_value='')
{
   return ($original_value==$compare_to_value)?$yes_value:$no_value;
}
?>

Smarty 3 does support ternary syntax

Code:
{('N'==$member.is_admin)?'Yes':'No'}

... nine years later ...

Secret here are these parentheses around the conditional. They're needed even for functions and methods. This doesn't work:
Code:
{ImageManager::retinaSupport() ? '2x' : ''}

This works just fine:
Code:
{(ImageManager::retinaSupport()) ? '2x' : ''}
