Ternary Operator

[Matt]

Does Smarty3 have support for the ternary operator? If not, could it
be added? It would be very useful to simplify common statements, such
as this:

<table>
{foreach $row as $r}
<tr class="{$r@iteration%2?'even':'odd'}">
<td>{$r}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
</table>

You can use the cycle plugin.

<tr class="{cycle values="even,odd"}">

Thanks Karel. I wasn't aware of that particular plugin, which was a
wonderful solution to that problem. However, I am still curious as to
the status of the ternary operator in Smarty3, or any equivalent
simple conditional printing mechanism.

Tews,

the ternary operator is extremely necessary because avoid big instrucions in the template code. For simple code, de cycle plugin meets the need, however for complex context it does not meet. For example:

instead of writing

{if $auditor == 1}
   Auditor Medical
{else}
   It's me
{/if}

I could use
{$auditor == 1 : 'Auditor Medical' : 'It's Me'}

Stay there the sugestion.

The first is a lot more readable though, even to a non-programmer.

I'd welcome a ternary operator as well.
If {$x=$y==2?$foo:$bar} is not possible (syntax wise), maybe one of the following suggestions is:

{$x=($y==2)?$foo:$bar}
{$x=($y==2?$foo:$bar)}
{$x=?|$x==2:$foo:$bar}

cheers,
Sander

The ternary operator is impelmented now. It can be used on assignments
and output.

Examples:
{$x=($y==2)?$foo:$bar}
{assign var=x value=($y==2)?$foo:$bar}
{($y==2)?$foo:$bar}

If you modifiers you have to put the expression into paranteses to
avoid ambiguity of the ':'.
{($y==2)?($foo|truncate):$bar}

The condition always needs to be in paranteses.
