RE: [SMARTY] modifiers functions

It seems not to work so. If variable is less than 20 characters, truncate don't modify it, but if it is more than 20, then truncate cut it and add " ". I need a function that modifies my variable when its length is less than 20 charaters and adds space characters to make its length 20 characters. :-) -----Mensaje original----- De: Pedro Vera [mailto:pedro.vera@gmail.com] Enviado el: domingo, 13 de marzo de 2005 1:07 Para: Nayra Quesada Asunto: Re: [SMARTY] modifiers functions The truncate function lets you add spaces as padding so it is 20 characters long, isn't that what you want? {$myvariable|truncate:20:" "} Will take $myvariable, if it is less than 20 characters it will add one space at a time til it adds up to 20. If it is more than 20 it will cut it at 20.
