Convert to Integer in Template ?

[techxpert]

I have a custom code named

<vb:if condition="$post['posts'] > 25">

in a template

which works good but problem is Number of posts in some cases comes with Comma "," like

1,298 where it fails

How can I simply convert to Integer in Template

This is something that never really occurred to me until recently, and I'm afraid I've probably suggested to many people that they use $posts['post'] as an integer. In any case, I don't think there's any way to use that value in a conditional. What you could do is create a plugin using hook postbit_display_start and save the value to another name, like maybe:

$post['numposts'] = $post['posts'];

The of course you'd use $posts['numposts'] in your template conditional.
