Anchor based redirection in Smarty

Ciao,

There are few situations when we have to hyperlink another server directories or files. Apart from doing it with coding there is a solution in Smarty template (assuming that your path is stored in database like \\ab\bc\cd\ef.doc

< a href="http://{$Myresults[uses].directory|replace:"\\ab":"pq/yz"|replace:"\\":"/"|escape:"htmlall"}" target="dynamic" >
Remember there are 2 replace (called modifiers in smarty). First one changes the base directory to another directory. Second one replaces all backslash (\) to a Slash (/). And at the end escape works fine for each occurrences of slash.


happy coding.
