Fraenkiman e544ed6d9a Smatry Release 4.4.1 on Feb-2024
Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1

It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0.

Remark:

During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs:
Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier.

As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again.
The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

{while}

{while} loops in Smarty have much the same flexibility as PHP while statements, with a few added features for the template engine. Every {while} must be paired with a matching {/while}. All PHP conditionals and functions are recognized, such as ||, or, &&, and, is_array(), etc.

The following is a list of recognized qualifiers, which must be separated from surrounding elements by spaces. Note that items listed in [brackets] are optional. PHP equivalents are shown where applicable.

Qualifiers

Qualifier Alternates Syntax Example Meaning PHP Equivalent
== eq $a eq $b equals ==
!= ne, neq $a neq $b not equals !=
> gt $a gt $b greater than >
< lt $a lt $b less than <
>= gte, ge $a ge $b greater than or equal >=
<= lte, le $a le $b less than or equal <=
=== $a === 0 check for identity ===
! not not $a negation (unary) !
% mod $a mod $b modulo %
is [not] div by $a is not div by 4 divisible by $a % $b == 0
is [not] even $a is not even [not] an even number (unary) $a % 2 == 0
is [not] even by $a is not even by $b grouping level [not] even ($a / $b) % 2 == 0
is [not] odd $a is not odd [not] an odd number (unary) $a % 2 != 0
is [not] odd by $a is not odd by $b [not] an odd grouping ($a / $b) % 2 != 0

Examples

{while $foo > 0}
  {$foo--}
{/while}

The above example will count down the value of $foo until 1 is reached.
