Hey, Is there a way to add (or any math function) 2 variables listed in a smarty template? I want to master the ability to manipulate these smarty html pages but I realize the rules don't apply as they do to pure PHP For instance, if you look at aff_stats.html, you will see 2 unique lines of code that display a value that arrives from a db call: Line #1: {$d.uniq|string_format:"%d"} // displays daily unique hits Line #2: {$d.raw|string_format:"%d"} // displays daily total hits Imagine I create another column on that page that is used to display the dividend between the 2 or the sum. How would I work that out within the smarty code? For instance, the new column would show in psuedo code PHP: <?php $ratio=$line 1 code / $line 2 code; print($ratio); ?>
Within the template files you can do the math within smarty tags eg {$d.uniq / $d.raw} I've just done this to create a conversion ratio for the transactions / visitors for affiliate's display pages. David
Interesting. However, when I added a column in aff_stats.html (the section where you must click on the month to get monthly stats) I tried to type this within the column to provide a demo output {$d.uniq / $d.raw} and it provided this error: An Error has occured ERROR [256] Smarty error: [in aff_stats.html line 101]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: '/' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1497) in line 1102 of file /home/wwwulti/public_html/amember/smarty/Smarty.class.php Hrm... TY for the reply. Maybe I am missing something...I need to read up on smarty because I am sure it's much easier than I realize. But it's been a pain figuring out how to output a dividend between 2 values.
Ah, look at that. Thanks! Just one last q, if I may When there is a daily division between the 2, and the end result is 0, the error is: WARNING: Division by zero in line 134 of file %%101^%%1014743997^aff_stats.html.php How does one disable that for each record within the template? I really appreciate your time and will join your membership. I really appreciate your time as I love php but hate these template engines (for now) Thanks again. I'm going to bone up on the smarty tutorials so I can learn how to harness php with these.
Check to make sure the number your dividing is more than zero {if $d.uniq > 0.0} stuff {/if} BTW- The affiliate template files to show the conversion (like in the image) are downloadable from my member's aMember hack forum. David
Ah, works. I just have to convert the string format. Beautiful (TY, again) I'll check out your hacks, no question. It's just interesting to see the logic with the html files as compared to PHP. I am used to doing this in php. Heck, it's funny because I can rebuild the entire thing in php but smarty templates...ha! I see, so if statement logic can work within it, just in a different way. I'll dig into how to work more into the php logic within smarty, but I have learned a lot today. I really appreciate your time.
