Hi,


I'm developing a module and hitting problem at a template.

I want to use smarty engine to do some condition works so that it differetiates based on an array value to provide a different table cell (background) color.


It works find for the "<{if ($item_set[item_data].emp_id) == 'EMPLOYEE01'}>" statement. But when come to the inner/nested if statements for "<{if ($item_set[item_data].status) == 'LV'}>...", the checking doesn't output result as expected (it points (class="others") instead of the (class="lv") when the value is 'LV')

<code>

<{section name=item_data loop=$item_set}>
<{if ($item_set[item_data].emp_id) == 'EMPLOYEE01'}>
<{if ($item_set[item_data].status) == 'LV'}><td class="lv"><{else}><td class="others"><{/if}>
<{$item_set[item_data].status}></td>
<{/if}>
<{/section}>
</code>



Pls guide me what's wrong, and how I can deal with this problem.

Thanks a lot.

The code and nest look fine to me.

Are you sure that this element of the array $item_set[item_data].status has the var you expect?

I suggest you do a print_r($item_set) and see if the key has the value you believe it has.

also use [code ] not <code> on these forums ;)

would it not be tter also to define $item_set[item_data] in the php and just use if ($emp_id == ) in the template?

Thanks John and m0nty,


I also thought that the array doesn't have any value of 'LV'. But, as seen in my code, I've already show up the value of <{$item_set[item_data].status}> at the table cell. I do see occurences of 'LV' in the table.

Result is not expected and I double-check at the html page source; I don't the condition pointing to the correct path.

thanks,

Hi all!


I've found out the problem. There must be some trailing spaces follow the array values. I use the truncate modifier to limit the string into 2 characters only, then it works!




Thanks for your assistance!

In your php did you use trim() on the var? If not I would suggest that you do :)

Nice catch :)
