UDT inside a another tag?

[jmansa]

Is it possible to insert a UDT inside another tag? I've installed a multilanguage site and was having trouble changing headlines made in my template so I came up with this solution.

my urls look like this:
www.mypage.com/index.php/uk/welcome or www.mypage.com/index.php/da/velkommen

I made a UDT to get the language out of the current url like this:
UDT = current_url

Code: Select all

function selfURL() {
	$s = empty($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? ''
		: ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "s"
		: "";
	$protocol = strleft(strtolower($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]), "/").$s;
	$port = ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == "80") ? ""
		: (":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]);
	return $protocol."://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$port.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
function strleft($s1, $s2) {
	return substr($s1, 0, strpos($s1, $s2));
}

This looks at my url and gets the 2 letters (uk, da) for use later.
I then put that in top of my templatebody.

Now, I had a headline for my news in my template like this:

     
         News
          {news number="3" detailpage="news"}
     

I have created my page in both english and danish and now wanted the "News" headline to change to the dansih language "Nyheder" when I went on the danish version of the site. This was done by making a UDT like this:
UDT = newshead

Code: Select all

$url = selfURL(); 
$last_slash = strrpos($url, "/"); 
$temp = substr($url, 0, $last_slash); 
$second_last_slash = strrpos($temp, "/"); 
$page = substr($url, $second_last_slash+1, $last_slash-$second_last_slash-1);

if($page == 'da') {  
echo 'Nyheder'; } 
if($page == 'en') { 
echo 'News'; }

I then inserted the {newshead} instead of news and viola... The header changes

Now here comes the tricky part and my question (at last)

I now want the news to change category when I change language, but how do I do that. I have tryid this but no can do...

I made a UDT called newscat like this:

Code: Select all

$url = selfURL(); 
$last_slash = strrpos($url, "/"); 
$temp = substr($url, 0, $last_slash); 
$second_last_slash = strrpos($temp, "/"); 
$page = substr($url, $second_last_slash+1, $last_slash-$second_last_slash-1);

if($page == 'da') {  
echo 'news_DK'; } 
if($page == 'en') { 
echo 'news_UK'; }

I then tryid to insert into my template like this...

{news number="3" detailpage="news" category="{newscat}"}

but that didnt work... Can somebody please help me with this problem...

Substitute echo with return in:

Code: Select all

.......
if($page == 'da') {  
echo 'news_DK'; } 
if($page == 'en') { 
echo 'news_UK'; }

And in template:

Code: Select all

........
{capture name=newscat}{newscat}{/capture}
........
........
{news number="3" detailpage="news" category="$smarty.capture.newscat"}

Thanks alot, but I'm not quite shure what or how you mean about using return instead of echo... Can you give an example?!

I just inserted the template suggestion and did nothing with the UDT, but I get an smarty error... Why?

string(125) "Smarty error: [in template:19 line 93]: syntax error: $smarty. is an unknown reference (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 2115)"

Where do I go wrong?
