Chapter 6. Combining Modifiers

You can apply any number of modifiers to a variable. They will be applied in the order they are combined, from left to right. They must be separated with a | (pipe) character.

Example 6-1. combining modifiers


index.php:
<?php
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('articleTitle', 'Smokers are Productive, but Death Cuts Efficiency.');
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
?>

index.tpl:

{$articleTitle}
{$articleTitle|upper|spacify}
{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate}
{$articleTitle|lower|truncate:30|spacify}
{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate:30:". . ."}

The above example will output:

Smokers are Productive, but Death Cuts Efficiency.
