Default Variable Handling
If a variable is used frequently throughout your templates, applying
the default modifier every time it is mentioned can get a bit ugly. You
can remedy this by assigning the variable its default value with the
{assign} function.
Example 18-2. Assigning a template variable its default value {* do this somewhere at the top of your template *}
{assign var="title" value=$title|default:"no title"}
{* if $title was empty, it now contains the value "no title" when you print it *}
{$title} |
