Hi,

Does anyone know if you can use like with smarty?

We want to say {if $products[product].productcode like "C-"}do this{else}dothis{/if}

Thanks

Like?

Here are the smarty functions rules: http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.if.php

If you use numerical productID as your var, then you can easily constrain an if to give you the correct results. Why not use the numerical ID? Am I missing what you're trying to do here?

In "like" i mean like in SQL eg - SELECT * from orders where items like '%electronic%'

Basically we mark all products that are variants with a productcode that begins "C-" and i want to show a field based on this.

Hope that makes sense.

Any idea how to use $cat variables on the Cart page? For example, you can use:

{if $cat eq "X"} SHOW THIS {/if}

on other pages, but it doesn't work on the cart page.

What if instead of {if=a}html1{else}html2{/if} you wanted something like this:
{if=a}html1{if=b}html2{else}html3{/if}?

Anyone have a response to this?

I have tried

{if $products[product].categoryid eq "3"} and
{if $products[product].catid eq "3"}

and neither work...I am trying to display a specific message in the cart if the customer has a product from that category in their cart.

Thanks!!!!!!

I use this on the product.tpl for categories and it works there... give it a try on your cart page:

{if $product.categoryid == 3}

Thanks but unfortunately that doesn't work.

If anyone else has a suggestion feel free to pass it along. Thank you.

You have to ensure you are using a variable in a section loop. For example:

{section name=prod_num loop=$products}
{$products[prod_num].product}: {$products[prod_num].categoryid}<br />
{/section}

Not sure if the categoryid is in the cart $products variable as I didn't test it.
