How to do counter with smarty?

I want to do one counter with Smarty.

In php I do $i++ to create a counter and after I use if() with if($i%3 == 0).

How could I do the same but with Smarty?

Solution

  • To initialise a counter in Smarty, you just need to specify the variable, and optionally provide the start point and skip (incremental offset):

    {counter start=0 skip=3 assign=var} // Initialise the counter **and** log the first output
{counter}<br />
{counter}<br />
{counter}<br />

    This will start a counter at 1, and increment by 3, so this will output:

    1<br />
4<br />
7<br />
10<br />

    Then you can check if a particular number in the counter is divisible by three with:

    {if $var is div by 3}
   ...
{/if}

    Hope this helps! :)
