Can I combine text and variable into new variable within tpl file?

[panupat]

Hi.

 

I'm trying to figure out a way to insert image into my product pages. I'm wondering if what I'm thinking is possible?

 

- Create images using product name as file name. So if the product is ABC123, the image would be ABC123.jpg

 

- Next, how do I combine text with variable? What I need is probably like this

$theURL = http://site/dir/dir/ ... + ... {$product->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} .. + .jpg

Then I'll use that with file_exists

{if file_exists($theURL) [spam-filter]
    <img src="{$theURL}">
{/if}

Possible to do this all in the .tpl file?

Any help appreciate, thanks!

example of the code:

 

{assign var=my value='this is '}
{assign var=variable value='lazy saturday'}
{assign var=myVariable value="{$my}{$variable}"}
{$myVariable}

{$myVariable} will display "this is lazy saturday"
