First, last and n'th item in a foreach loop
Smarty engine provides easy way to determine if an item is first or last in a foreach loop. This is achieved by naming the loop and using the first or last boolean variables.
Next example makes the first article headline bold:
{init_articles name="articles"}
{foreach from=$articles item="article" name="articles_loop"}
{if $smarty.foreach.articles_loop.first}<b>{/if}
<a href="{$article->href}">{$article->title}</a>
{if $smarty.foreach.articles_loop.first}</b>{/if}
<br>
{/foreach}
The same applies to "last".
To get the number of an iteration in a foreach loop use the "iteration" variable. This example numerates article headlines:
{init_articles name="articles"}
{foreach from=$articles item="article" name="articles_loop"}
{$smarty.foreach.articles_loop.iteration}. <a href="{$article->href}">{$article->title}</a><br>
{/foreach}
