Default Variable Handling

If a variable is used frequently throughout your templates, applying the default modifier every time it is mentioned can get a bit ugly. You can remedy this by assigning the variable its default value with the assign function.

{* do this somewhere at the top of your template *}

{assign var="title" value=$title|default:"no title"}



{* if $title was empty, it now contains the value "no title" when you print it *}

{$title}
