switch case smarty 1.1

Extension type: Plugin
Extension originally created by mumuri on Mar 08, 2009

Description

This "switch-case" plugin allow you to use this type of structure directly in your template.

Was included in the core in the Zikula 1.2 release.

Here is a sample use,

Code

<!--[switch expr=$toTest]-->
   <!--[case expr="The"]-->
      case &quot;The&quot;<br />
   <!--[/case]-->
   <!--[case expr="word"]-->
      case word<br />
   <!--[/case]-->
    <!--[case]-->
      Default used as nothing found.  Humm - maybe an alias should be defined for default - to allow for the default keyword.<br />
   <!--[/case]-->
  <!--[/switch]-->

Note thats it can be very usefull for "new/edition" template. For instance, if you ve got a template to create a new topic in pnforum and another one to reply to a post, you can merge them into one single template, then you will put the "delta" of the differences in the switch case statement

Code

<!--[ switch expr=$mode]-->
   <!--[case expr="reply"]-->
        <!--[ pnml name='_PNFORUM_REPLY' assign='editTitle' ]-->
        <!--[ pnml name='_PNFORUM_REPLY' assign='editShortTitle' ]-->
        <!--[assign var="action" value='createQuickReply();']-->
   <!--[/case]-->
   <!--[case expr="newtopic"]-->
           <!--[ pnml name='_PNFORUM_NEWTOPIC' assign='editTitle' ]-->
            <!--[ pnml name='_PNFORUM_NEW' assign='editShortTitle' ]-->
           
            <!--[assign var="action" value='createnewtopic();']-->
 
   <!--[/case]-->
<!--[/switch]-->
