Smarty Variable Modifier not working

[ralphonz]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the smarty modifier 'lower' in clientareaproductdetails.tpl like this: {$status|lower} as mentioned in the smarty docs here: http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.modifier.lower.tpl

 

But all i get is a blank page if I put |lower in. Why doesn't this work?

that confused me too when I first came across it some months ago... I assumed whmcs didn't include it in the installed smarty plugins for some reason.

 

anyway, the workaround is to use {$status|strtolower}

Amazing! Thanks brian. I'm wondering how on earth you figured that out and why is it strtolower rather than the documented lower?

 

Thanks again!

The original lower modifier used the php command strtolower in it

if you want the original lower modifier shoot me a ticket at my site.

Thanks for the offer sparky.

 

I'm not too bothered about it being different, I just wondered why that was the case and how we are supposed to know if it's not documented! I'm just learning smarty and trying to understand how it is implemented in WHMCS.

I think I saw it in another client area template!
