Tip & Tricks: add language strings in overrides

infograf768 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 17, 2007 10:16 am

Just add in each override

JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_nameoftemplate' );

Then add the strings in the en-GB.tpl_nameoftemplate.ini file frontend file.

Enjoy !

Good find JM, a quick note though, the JPlugin::loadLanguage is not intended to be used in template override scope. I can not guarantee that this method will keep functioning in future versions.

I guess you guys will devise a better way to get the overrides to accept language strings in future versions (although keeping this works OK).
In the meanwhile, this will help all template designers and does not cost one line of code.

Hello,

I'm sory but i don't understand where the en-GB.tpl_nameoftemplate.ini file has to be saved. Can you be more specific ?

Thanks

Some templates do not have that file, others do (milkyway).
If it does not exist, create it in languages/en-GB/
The file can also be loaded in a template package with the following tags in the xml

Code:

<languages>
      <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.name_of_template.ini</language>
</languages>

This is used when you have occurences of JText in the index.php of your template and the template is distributed over the Net to people not using the same language as yours.

Example for Milkyway:

Code:

<p id="power_by">
<?php echo JText::_('Powered by') ?> <a href="http://www.joomla.org">Joomla!</a>.
<?php echo JText::_('Valid') ?> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a> <?php echo JText::_('and') ?> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">CSS</a>.
</p>
