Utilizing language files

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

I have a language file primarily for a recruitment form. It was a hacked up spinoff of the feedback module.

I want to utilize the language file for other things in my module.

For instance.

Code:

define("_MILPACS_NAME", "3rd Infantry Division");

I want to use this to remove hard coded reference to my unit.

Same for the clan "tag"

Code:

define("_MILPACS_TAG", "[3rd ID]");

How do I utilize this within pages in my module?

Example: I want to replace this in my drillreport page and use the _MILPACS_NAME in the language file instead.

Code:

OpenTable();


?>


<table border=0><tr><td width=100%>


<font class="mainroster"><big><b>3rd Infantry Division Drill Report</b></big></font>


<!-- <hr width=200 align="left"> -->


</td></tr></table>


<?php


CloseTable();

Ehh me no hable but do you still want to use the definitions or not?
If so you can use like...

"._MILPACS_NAME." in your page.
in your language file..
define("_MILPACS_NAME", "3rd Infantry Division");

"._MILPACS_TAG." in your page.
in your language file..
define("_MILPACS_TAG", "[3rd ID]");

etc...

Donovan, Just as an example, using the defines from Hitwalker above, it might look like this:

Code:




OpenTable(); 


 


echo "<table border=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"100%\"> ";


echo "<span class=\"mainroster\"><big><b>". _MILPACS_NAME;


echo "</b></big></span>";


echo "</td></tr></table>";





CloseTable();

You can also use what is called HEREDOC method of intermixing PHP and HTML. You can look this up in the PHP manual or Google and it will give you some good info on how to use.

Hope this helps.

I have this working in all my public pages, but not for my admin pages. Do I need to have two different language files, one for public and one for admin?

admin files call on anther language file...admin/language...u could put this in the module directory

Just add this to ur module/module_name/admin/case.php

get_lang($module_name);

Then make a folder within the module/module_name/admin called langauge then make lang-english or whatever language ur nuke is set to in that folder...define all the admin language in that one

Now if u incorporated this into ur nuke_dir/admin folder then u want to add the definitions to ur nuke_dir/admin/language/lang-english.php

Nuke admin panel uses another language file instead of the MAIN language file used for the rest of ur site.

Now i hope i made this as simply explained as possible.

Yes, it is definitely intended in the 7.5 and up core nuke infrastructure, to also have a module admin/language directory with admin language files.
