Thought I'd share this...

Smarty {break} & {continue} tags are not available in Smarty v2, but are in Smarty v3.

They are handy, for example, if you want to truncate {foreach} or {section} items after x items / iterations.

{foreach from=$foo item=x name=whatever}
{if $smarty.foreach.whatever.index == 3}
{break}
{/if}
...
{/foreach}

(stops on third item)

Upload the attached two PHP files to /include/templater/plugins and you can use {break} and {continue}

Might assist some of you out there

Phil, thanks for sharing this!

I've moved all other messages on switching XC4 to Smarty 3 into a separate thread:

Thanks Phil!

New functionality worked a treat in this mod for wholesale prices in v4.6.4

I bet there'll be some long scripts in the rest of the standard code that the {break} tag can be used in larger stores to help improve site speed.
