Lookup The Value Of A Feature In Tpl?

[Maury Markowitz]

I have a Feature called nameplate that holds a number. I'd like to use that number in a formula on my product page. It's just the current price divided by that number.

 

How do I fetch the value of a named Feature in smarty?

 

I suspect it's easy…

when you say, feature, what do you mean. It is really easy to access php value in a tpl file but i need more information before i am going to type out an answer. Smarty can do some inTPL maths on a value aswell if needed.

I have a feature called "Nameplate" with a value that is either null or a number like "2000".

 

I know I can loop over the array of Features and look at the name, like this…

 

 

{foreach from=$features item=feature}

<p>{$feature.name}, {$feature.value}</p>

{/foreach}

 

 

But what I want to do is easily find that one single Feature, the one called "Nameplate", and then get it's value. I suspect there's just a little syntax I need to know to do this…

Only started looking into smarty today, so could be wrong but cant you use array.key:

 

{$features.nameplate}

{$features.nameplate}

 

Well that is simple! Let me try it…

i think this is right. this assumes the $features is an array and that 'nameplate' is a key. the code above will return the value of the key nameplate in the array held in $features

 

they will be capitals sensitive. you will not need to loop to get this single value.
