Answer 1

You can use the .iteration

{foreach from=fruits item=fruit}
 current item #: {$smarty.foreach.fruits.iteration}
{/foreach}

Answer 2

In case you have something like this:

{foreach from=$fruits item=fruit} {/foreach}

Instead of this:

{foreach from=fruits item=fruit} {/foreach}

You should use this syntax:

{foreach from=$fruits item=fruit name=counter} 
    Iteration no {$smarty.foreach.counter.iteration}
{/foreach}
