This is used to set a default value for a variable. If the variable is unset or an empty string, the given default value is printed instead. Default takes the one argument.
| Parameter Position | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | string | No | empty | This is the default value to output if the variable is empty. |
Example 5.9. default
<?php
$smarty->assign('articleTitle', 'Dealers Will Hear Car Talk at Noon.');
$smarty->assign('email', '');
?>
Where template is:
{$articleTitle|default:'no title'}
{$myTitle|default:'no title'}
{$email|default:'No email address available'}
Will output:
