SOLVED Provisioning templates syntax

[Adrian Fretwell]

Can anyone point me in right direction to find any information on the syntax available in the provision template files?

For example here is an IF construct:
{if isset($dns_server_primary)}network.primary_dns = {$dns_server_primary}{/if}

This also contains an isset() function.

I would like to find out what constructs and functions are available to use in template files.

Kind regards,
Adrian.

PHP Smarty 3. However I try not to use too advanced syntax for the template engine because if we switch to a different template engine that would make the process all the more complex. So consider using the template engine lightly and not treating it fully like its own programming language. We use enough syntax just to get what we need done and I've tried to avoid anything elaborate.

Thankyou Mark, that is very helpful.

I won't bore you with exactly why I need to do this (router with strange NAT behavour). I wanted each device (Yealink) to get provisioned with a different SIP Local port, so, as all of my auth IDs are numeric, and only 3 digits, I simply do:

account.1.sip_listen_port = 15{$auth_id_1}
...
account.6.sip_listen_port = 15{$auth_id_6}

In order to add more safety to this I was considering using a substr to limit the length of $auth_id_X and maybe also an isnumeric test.

Kind regards,
Adrian.

Thanks for this. I fixed some issues with provisioning templates by guessing, but now I know whats going on.
