[SOLVED] Babel and news article

[Mich-adg]

Hi all,

i'm looking for a way to display a news article category depending of the lang of the current page. I use Babel for my site.

I tried this at the top of my template :

Code: Select all

{babel action="assign"}
{capture assign=actualang}
{babel show="lang_article"} //babel ml entry
{/capture}

and to display the news but i doesn't work :

Code: Select all

{news number='3' category='$actualang | news'  moretext='...'}

Any idea ?
Thx.

You need to use backticks inside quotes:

Code: Select all

{news number='3' category="`$actualang` | news"  moretext='...'}

Tanks for you reply, but this doesn't work for me actually.

But i displayed my $actualang simply in the page, and i discovered that the lang has an empty space after it (ie : fr ) and perhaps that's the problem. Any idea to delete empty character after a string variable in smarty ?

I tried a different variable and yet it works! Thanks for the backticks tip! The double quotes are important too.

I make this now :

Code: Select all

{news number='1' detailpage='news' category="`$page_lang` | mycat | news" summarytemplate='template' moretext='More...'}

$page_lang is generated by Babel, so i named my first categories "en_EN, fr_FR...". Now i have to change the moretext with a variable string and i got it
