Smarty

The following if-Statement worked in Smarty 2.3.0:

{ if $display != "" && $width > ( 2.5 * $height) }

but in Smarty 2.5.0 I got this fatal error:

Fatal error: Smarty: [in liquid/main.tpl line 55]: syntax error: unidentified token '2.5' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1228) in ..... Smarty-2.5.0/libs/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 1824


after changing the if-Statement to:

{ if $display != "" && $width > ( 2 * $height) }

no error occurs.

That would probably have to do with Smarty's unability to do math operations but I could be wrong. Try
{ if $display != "" && $width > {math equation="2.5 * height" height=$height} }

When you say it worked, what did it REALLY do? Did it evaluate the comparison properly? I don't think that it should ever have truly "worked" (even if it didn't throw an error) for the reason that Aztek gave.

Unfortunately, Aztek's solution won't work -- you can't embed a Smarty statement inside another Smarty statement. Alas.

Yea your right I never tried it or really thought about it

Before this turns into a why we urn for Smarty math support post. I think its probably Smarty thinking your trying to access an array key.
