Hello, I'm trying to find documentation to see if this is possible to use Arithmetic calculation in WHMCS email template.

 

Example within an email template : SomeVar * 12/100.

 

thank you in advance to show syntaxe if possible.

Hello, I'm trying to find documentation to see if this is possible to use Arithmetic calculation in WHMCS email template.

Example within an email template : SomeVar * 12/100.

the email templates use Smarty, so the answer is yes.

 

assuming the variable you're trying to manipulate is a number and not a string, then you can do something like this to find 12%...

 

{$somevar * (12/100)}

if you need to set it to 2 decimal places...

 

{($somevar * (12/100))|string_format:"%.2f"}

if you're doing this in v7, you'll need to add string_format to your Smarty Security Policy - otherwise the emails won't send.

 

if you're wanting to do this to a variable that is a string, e.g an amount such as $123.45 USD, then you'd first need to remove the currency prefix/suffix, and then you can do your calculation as above..

 

{(($somevar|replace:'$':''|replace:'USD':'') * (12/100))|string_format:"%.2f"}

if you're using multiple currencies in your setup, then the required code gets more complicated - but not impossible to do.
