tpl variable in php

[kimaweb]

Hi everybody.

So I've been searching this forum for a loooong time now.

I could really use some help.

I wrote with matt earliery today and he said that it is posible to add you own php variable in the tpl files.

So i did this in viewinvoice to get it to show and ekstra field, but.. it dosnt work. Dos anyone have an idea of what i am doing wrong?

First i added this:

{php}
$moms = $total/5;
{/php}


then where i wanted to show the amount (20% of the total amount) i added this:

{php} echo $moms; {/php}

but it shows 0


Anyone whom can help me please


Sincerely Matt

echo $total and see what you get. Most likely it will be 0

what exactly are you trying to do?

if total is a smarty variable, then just do

{math equation="x / 5" x=$total}

[kimaweb]

Yes, 0 i was..

but how can i fix it? there must be a way?

[MACscr]

heck, even {$total/5} might even work

[kimaweb]

Im really sad now.

That didnt work. It showed 0, but.. at least it did show something...

More ideas?

[MACscr]

both of my suggestions didnt work?

[kimaweb]

None of them worked.

a smarty what?

It is just the viewinvoice.tlp i am trying to and and ekstra fielnd in.

Here some of the code, so you can see what im doing:


<tr><td id="invoiceitemsheading"><div align="right">{$LANG.invoicescredit}</div></td><td id="invoiceitemsheading" align="center">{$credit}</td></tr>
<tr><td id="invoiceitemsheading"><div align="right">Moms </div></td>

{php}
$moms = $total/5;
{/php}

<td id="invoiceitemsheading" align="center">{php} echo $moms; {/php}</td>
</tr>

[MACscr]

right, dont try doing it with {php} tags, remove that completely and just try:

{$total/5}

or

{math equation="x / 5" x=$total}

[kimaweb]

With {math equation="x / 5" x=$total} it shows nothing.

With {$total/5} it shows 0

[MACscr]

what is your total normally?

[kimaweb]

Well, depends on what people are ordering. :-)

But on this invoice the total amount is 99

[MACscr]

there were a couple hurdles. The main one was that the $ was causing issues with the math. Here is a work around and does exactly what you wanted.


{php}
$total = $this->get_template_vars('total');
$newtotal = sprintf("%01.2f", ((str_replace('$','',$total)) / 5));
echo '$'.$newtotal;
{/php}

[kimaweb]

did you test that? coz it dosnt work here...?

[MACscr]

yep, works perfectly for me.

[kimaweb]

Maybe you have msn messenger? wanna help me? it would really be so nice..

[MACscr]

lol, scroll up, i have 3 different messengers listed above.

btw, i have/had no need for this code, i did it just for you out of the kindness of my heart. Merry Christmas =P

[kimaweb]

hehe, i did add you, but no ones there. :-)

I know, you do this to be nice, and im pleased!
