Hello all,
I need a lttle advice re: joining two string variables together in a .tpl file.
Ive tried everything and researched on the googles… but advice so far has all failed to work.
Example I just want to join two variables together with a space in between …
Eg.
variable1 = “one”
variable2 = “two”
{assign var=“variable3” value=“$one plus $two”}
Ive tried:
{assign var=“variable3” value=$one $two}
{assign var=“variable3” value=$one’ '$two}
etc nothing works, If I use anything other than just … value=$one} the page load crashes!
Could someone please advise me on the correct syntax in cs-cart tpl files .
Help greatly appreciated.

notice the ` around the variables.

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes that worked
Ive just realised my mistake, I was using the ' character instead of the ` character.
A trap for new players I guess…

Although reluctant to post php/smarty coding questions on the cs-cart forum, I just havent found any answers in the google kingdom, so since it applies directly to my cs-cart problem, here goes another smart(y) question…
Whats the difference between $variable and !$variable ?
ie Does
{if $lang.variable} mean “if $lang.variable is defined”
and conversely
{if !$lang.variable} mean “if $lang.variable is NOT defined”
?
Cheers

Basically yes. See Smarty documentation {if},{elseif},{else} | Smarty

Thanks, I had gleaned a hint from that smarty doc, but it doesnt really spell it out… Tried searching for “!$” with no results.
Thanks again.
