Checking a field for a value (IF CONTAINS)

Recently we have added a Smarty plugin which allows for some simple syntax to check if a field contains a certain value. More advanced programmers will know that this can be accomplished using the ever dreaded regular expressions.

Basic syntax

The basic use of the contains syntax is the following code. Else and elseif can be used optional.

{if $FIELDNAME|contains:"value"} output {else} other output (optional) {/if}
