Conditional based on day of week

smarty

Solution

you should learn to "cache" your values:

{assign var="weekday" value=$smarty.now|date_format:"%u"}
{if $weekday == 1} Monday
…
{elseif $weekday == 7} Sunday
{/if}

Problem

I would like to print out a different string of text based on the current day of the week. Any advice? Am I on the right track with this: ``` {if $current_timestamp|date_format:"%A" == 'Monday'} Monday {elseif $current_timestamp|date_format:"%A" == 'Tuesday'} Tuesday {elseif $current_timestamp|date_format:"%A" == 'Wednesday'} Wednesday {elseif $current_timestamp|date_format:"%A" == 'Thursday'} Thursday {elseif $current_timestamp|date_format:"%A" == 'Friday'} Friday {else} Weekend {/if} ``` This is currently working for me but I was wondering if there's a more efficient way. P.S. I won't be printing out the name of the day of the week, that's just my example.
