Feature Requests: Browse | Submit New | Admin
Request the ability for variable names to include an argument. Example: I have a class User with has_role?(rolename) - rolename being 'guest,' 'member,' 'admin,' or the like. (My actual script has 7 roles) I currently use method_missing to pseudo alias is_a_foo to has_role?(foo) explicitly for PT [% if is_a_admin %] versus [% if has_role admin %], the latter reads smoother for the designer, IMHO. Maybe to go along with your obj.attr syntax. arryorhash[symbol or number] and foo(symbol or number) ?

Date: 2005-07-21 11:30 Sender: Jeremy Apthorp Another thing I would like to see is comparisons in if statements. Like: [% if user.level > 1 %] You needn't really go so far as using the whole ruby syntax ([%if foo.bar[3] === Regexp%] is a bit much) but simple operators like <, >, <=, >=, != and == would be very useful.
