I find it so much easier to just do $count++ than to use the counter function. The problem is, when you do

<{$count++}> it prints out the value.

Is there any way to not print the value here?

Thanks.

It's all in the documentation.

See http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.counter.php

Thank you, but that wasn't the question. Really the question is more general. Is there a way to not print the value that an expression evaluates to? I think there should be. For example, if I do this:

{$arrayname|@print_r}

It will print out the value of the array, but then print out what print_r returns, which is not needed.

Same with {$var++}. To me, that's a much more simple way to implement a counter than the counter function.

For example this:

You could write a "noprint" modifier which just returns an empty string.

File: modifier.noprint.php

Did you manage to sort this out? Because I'm having the same issue - I'm trying to increment using {$x++} but all I'm getting is "0 1 2 3" etc on the screen as well as my content. I would be grateful if you could let me know how you solved it.

Thanks!

{$x++} is not supported.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try
