Variable modifiers can be applied to variables, custom functions or strings. To apply a modifier, specify the value followed by a | (pipe) and the modifier name. A modifier may accept additional parameters that affect its behavior. These parameters follow the modifer name and are separated by a : (colon). Also, all php-functions can be used as modifiers implicitly (more below) and modifiers can be combined. .
So lets say my variable is named $my_fruit and I want to check if the value is in this array: ['apples', 'oranges', 'peaches', 'dragonfruit']. This is what it would look like in Smarty...
Smarty
{if $my_fruit|in_array:['apples', 'oranges', 'peaches', 'dragonfruit']}
My fruit is in the array
{/if}
The syntax can be a little confusing. The variable is specified first, followed by the pipe character, then the in_array function. A colon is used to specify an input parameter to the in_array function, which happens to be the array of fruit from above.
-i
