[solved] cms_selflink tag and multilanguage

[andym]

Hi,

I have managed to use $mle_translation for breadcrumbs and search tags ok but the cms_selflink tag simply takes through the text and does not resolve the variable.

All I see is $mle_translation.previous_page displayed.

If I drop the quotes I get array.previous_page


{cms_selflink dir="previous" label='$mle_translation.previous_page'}


Any suggestions?

Andy.

I have tried a simple mod to the plugin, but clearly the relevant variables are not defined there.

I put in the following code in place of the current lines:

$Prev_label = $mle_translation.Prev_label; // andym
$Next_label = $mle_translation.Next_label; // andym
$Parent_label = $mle_translation.Parent_label; //uplink andym
And of course in mle lang file:

// Navigation

'Prev_label'=>'Previous page',
'Next_label'=>'Next page',
'Parent_label'=>'Parent page:',

The result is a moan about undefined constant and Next_label is displayed on the screen in the page.

Any clues as to the missing bit of the jigsaw anyone?

Cracked it!  Found the answer in another topic.

Use this approach in the template and it works just fine:

{capture assign='prev_page'}{$mle_translation.Prev_label}: {/capture}
{capture assign='next_page'}{$mle_translation.Next_label}: {/capture}

            {cms_selflink dir="previous" label="$prev_page"}

            {cms_selflink dir="next" label="$next_page"}

Works a treat.
