This Smarty modifier plugin adds ordinal suffix to a number, so 1 becomes 1st, 15 becomes 15th and so on.
Specially useful for dates formatting in english.

Thank you! This plugin works brilliantly — saved quite a bit of time, too.
You're welcome!
(at last I have proofs someone is using this plugin).
I thought I'd offer a modification I made to the plugin since we have ordinal numbers > 999 and wanted them formated with commas, such as 27,987th.
I changed the function definition to this (basically just adding in the number_format options):
function smarty_modifier_ordinal($n, $decimals = 0, $dec_sep=",", $thous_sep = ".") { if (is_numeric($n)) { $n_last = $n % 100; $n = number_format($n, $decimals, $dec_sep, $thous_sep); /* ...snipped... */I then call it like this:
{$myNumber)|ordinal:'0':'.':','}Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Jon.
Wow! have been trying to hack this functionality into my CMSMS installation for ages, now this little smarty plugin saves me so muhc time! thanks man!
I'm very happy it helped you. Thanks for visiting.
