Test on languages

[Luckyluke]

Hi,

I've got a problem.
In my template I use the folowing code:

Code:

<h1>Foto's</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.domein.be/nl/fotos.php">Klik hier voor foto's</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[[RandomImage?dir=fotoweek]]</p>

But, I've got a site with 3 language so if you click on the above link, you allways got the NL part of the site.
So, I want something like

Code:

if $language = "NL"

<h1>Foto's</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.domein.be/nl/fotos.php">Klik hier voor foto's</a></p>

elseif $language = "FR"

<h1>Photos</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.domein.be/fr/fotos.php">Cliquez ici pour les photos</a></p>

else

<h1>Photos</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.domein.be/en/fotos.php">Click here for photos</a></p>

endif

<p style="text-align: center;">[[RandomImage?dir=fotoweek]]</p>

I want this in my template, do I have to use <?php ... ??
I'm not a php coder so for me this is something like flying the Concorde... 

Thxalot!
Grtz,

We all experienced some dificulties with droplets in wb 2.8

You shlud try a workaround:

Make a hidden page with random section module

then include this code instead droplet:

Code:

<?php
// Change to the number you need!
$section_id = 65;

// Get requested section for requested page
$query_sections = $database->query("SELECT section_id,module FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."sections WHERE section_id = '$section_id' ");

// Make sure there is one
if($query_sections->numRows() > 0) {
    $section = $query_sections->fetchRow();
    $section_id = $section['section_id'];
    $module = $section['module'];
    require(WB_PATH.'/modules/'.$module.'/view.php');
} 
?>

find your section id in page -> sections and then replace id to this line: $section_id = 65;

Also pleas post this to droplets page so that Ruud can see what is wrong with droplet

I hope I helped

cheers

For multilanguage pages, you can always try Easy Multilanguage Link, probably the most easiest way to offer links to pages with the same content in other languages.

May be the article Comfortable multilingual sites is useful, too.

Hi,

Sorry, my question wasn't clear 
The multilanguage site works perfectly.
But a template does not know if the pages are Dutch, French or English.
That's why we need to test the language inside the template to do some certain action.

Why not, have you tried using the build in WB value LANGUAGE ?

We're comming closer to the solution 
I know I have to test with the WB value LANGUAGE. But here's my weak point, I'm not a php coder.

Hi,

try this code:

Code:

<?php
if ( LANGUAGE =="EN") {
  echo "Language is english";
} elseif (LANGUAGE =="FR") {
  echo "This is french";
} else {
  echo "This is Dutch!";
}
?>

Put it in your template and seewhat happens. If it works, replace echo line with the code you need )

cheers
