How could i include a langauge on whole site

[arrow816]

I have a mod that is displayed on every page on the front end, and i cant find a way to add the language file to every page, short of actually adding it, Is there an easier 1 or 2 line piece of code that i can put some where that will let me do this?

Thanks,
Steve C

Either add it to common.php or use an hook file so that you don't have to edit any phpBB core files.

Where and how would i add it in common.php, iv been trying both:

Code: Select all

$user->setup('mods/jqdropdown');

and

Code: Select all

$user->add_lang('mods/jqdropdown');

but neither are working.

Thanks,

Sorry, common.php wont work. I'd suggest to use an hook for this. Upload this file to includes/hooks/ and purge the cache. That will be loaded on every page.

Ok that worked, now i got one more question. Im trying to get the mod, to say in the welcome part, Welcome to {SITE_NAME}, is there a way to add {SITE_NAME} to the language file?

Right now its not working. Right now it shows up as "Welcome to {SITE_NAME}" but what it should show up as is "Welcome to Phpbb3 Test" .

Here is the code for the language file

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
*
* example [English]
*
* @package language
* @version $Id$
* @copyright (c) 2007 phpBB Group
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License

*/
 
/**
* DO NOT CHANGE
*/
if (empty($lang) || !is_array($lang))
{
    $lang = array();
	
}
 
// DEVELOPERS PLEASE NOTE
//
// All language files should use UTF-8 as their encoding and the files must not contain a BOM.
//
// Placeholders can now contain order information, e.g. instead of
// 'Page %s of %s' you can (and should) write 'Page %1$s of %2$s', this allows
// translators to re-order the output of data while ensuring it remains correct
//
// You do not need this where single placeholders are used, e.g. 'Message %d' is fine
// equally where a string contains only two placeholders which are used to wrap text
// in a url you again do not need to specify an order e.g., 'Click %sHERE%s' is fine
 
$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
//Here are the ones for when a user is not logged in
	'JQ_NL_WELCOME'			=> '<h1>Welcome to {SITENAME}</h1>
                				<h2>Hello Guests</h2>

if its a custom phpBB page, do this $user->setup('common'); and then you can just use {SITENAME} in the template files, it should work

[3Di]

yes, that's related to the function page_header .. located into includes/functions.php

You could use sprintf() in the PHP file that you are using to display your page...

So the Language variable would be something like:

Code: Select all

'SITENAME'    => 'Welcome to %1$s', 

(shortened for example)
And in the PHP you could do:

Code: Select all

$template->assign_var('L_SITENAME', sprintf($user->lang('SITENAME'), 'My Website')); 

To have it show more than once just use the %1$s multiple times. To add another placeholder to be replaced, do %2$s and add another argument to the sprintf() after 'My Website'.
