Adding Custom Words to Language Files

Seraphic · Post by **Seraphic** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 5:20 pm

Hi,

I am trying to add a new word in the forumlist_body.html file.

So in forumlist_body.html added: {L_STATUS}
Then in en/common.php I added: 'STATUS' => 'Status',

Refreshed template, but it just shows as { STATUS }
So I take it I left something out?

Looks good. Can you show me where you put the code in en/common.php?

Are you still online?

Guess not. So did he mean I added it in the wrong location the en/common.php file?
Where should it be added?

/language/[iso]/common.php is included on all pages, except for the admin pages. So it seems to be odd that the variable doesn't display there, although you correctly added that line.
Maybe did you add that for wrong language pack?

Only have one language pack. It was added to: /phpbb3/language/en/common.php
Does it need to go in specific location or is common.php the wrong language file?

Seraphic, please bear in mind there is a 6 hour bump limit.
You don't need to reply to this post.

Could anyone help me square this away? I don't want to have to add the word "Status" in the template itself.

You again bumped this before 6 hours. Please don't.

Alright, made it to the magic six hour mark and was hoping someone would have offered some help.

Could someone offer some help here?

That's odd...
...have you left a tab space after the lang var and before the =>?
I mean instead of

Code: Select all

'STATUS'=> 'Status',

have it like

Code: Select all

'STATUS'     => 'Status',

I should have used a code tag, it messed it up.

In en/common.php I have:

Code: Select all

    'STATUS'                    => 'Status',

In template/forumlist_body.html I have:

Code: Select all

{L_STATUS}

But all that shows up on forum index is:

Code: Select all

{ STATUS }

Did some searching and found the below. Tried it, but did not work. But maybe because it is for phpbb2 and also because I am not sure if I used the correct language and php file (used en/common.php and index.php).

In your lang_english/lang_main.php:
Code: ‹ Select ›
$lang['books'] = 'Books';
$lang['otherlangvar'] = 'otherword';

In your php file where the menu is at:
Code: ‹ Select › ‹ Expand ›
$template->assign_vars(array(
'L_BOOKS' => $lang['books'],
'L_OTHERLANGVAR' => $lang['otherlangvar']
));

'L_OTHERLANGVAR' => $lang['otherlangvar'] i put in there to show you you can add more vars there.

In your tpl file where the menu is in at the place you want the word Books or Libros to apear:
Code: ‹ Select ›
{L_BOOKS}

Try purging your cache or try putting it in your language's viewforum.php file.
