Smarty Conditionals (does not contain)

[marketingpro]

Hi,

 

We are trying to customize our welcome emails depending on the product name of each customer. We need to send different content to the users that have a product name that doesn't contain a certain string/word.

 

We've managed to make it work when it contains a string {if $service_product_name|strstr:"WHATEVER"} but not when it does not contain a string.

 

We've tried {if $service_product_name is not "WHATEVER"} and {if $service_product_name % "WHATEVER"}, among other things, but they don't work (they give an error).

 

We asked the WHMCS support team but they don't know either.

 

Any clue?

 

Thanks!

if it's a case of it either contains the string 'WHATEVER' or it doesn't, then it should be an IF ELSE...

{if $service_product_name|strstr:'WHATEVER'}do something{else}do something else{/if}

if you want to directly check a variable doesn't contain specific text...

{if !$service_product_name|strstr:'WHATEVER'}string does not contain WHATEVER{/if}

though i'd be inclined, where possible, to check for strings to exist and then use an else at the end if they don't.

oh lord.
