Terminating an mvt:foreach iterator loop

[Jeff - Wolfpaw Hosting]

I know some hard ways of accomplishing this but has anyone come across a simple command that can be used after testing for a condition that will end/exit an &mvt:foreach iterator loop? Is there a module that adds this functionality?

Hi Jeff,

I don't believe there is one. But you can bail out of ANY template using mvt:exit, which stops the CURRENT template execution immediately, returning control and continuing execution in the calling template.

How will this help? Essentially if you isolate your mvt:foreach loop into it's own template, then you can bail on the foreach loop and still render the rest of your current template.

This is a great use case for the "General Template" feature of our Template Manager.

Best,
James

<mvt:break /> and <mvt:continue /> would be awesome!

It has been requested for a couple years. I don't think we'll ever see it get included into the engine even though it would be a simple one to adopt.

Bill,

For some reason this wasn't on our radar, but we have added it to the list for 5.10 whenever that happens (no ETA at this time, as there's no 5.09 bugs reported yet).

Ditto on <mvt:break />

As for the original question... just in case it's not clear, your ONLY option is to use conditionals to skip the items you do not want to process.
