Hello,

I am working on OC 3.0.3.8

It's the first time that i attempt to pass data from an extension (shipping extension) to the order info page.
So basically I am trying to pass the tracking number and some other info from the extension to the order info page.

As I understand I need to pass the data from the extension's controller to controller/sale/order.php first.
So the values will be displayed to order_info.twig

I start with the basics as I am a beginner.
Therefore I am trying to load the language files first.

I named the extension as "MyExtension" for reference.

The code that I use is:

in admin/controller/sale/order.php
After line 1273: $data['footer'] = $this->load->controller('common/footer');

Code: Select all

$this->load->controller('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text');      

If I use {{ my_extenion_text }} I receive the English language always. I want to load the Greek language instead of English.
I tried to use $this->load->language('el-gr/extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
But I guess it doesn't work like that since I get no value at all.

How could I do this?

Thank you in advance!

$this->language->get

// save current language id
$language_id_save = $this->config->get('config_language_id');
// set new language id
$language_id_new = the id of your greek language;
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_new);


$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text');  


// restore previous language id
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_save);

Code: Select all

$this->language->get

uses the currently set language id in config so you have to temporarily change that to the id of your greek language

you could try:

Code: Select all

// save current language id
$language_id_save = $this->config->get('config_language_id');
// set new language id
$language_id_new = the id of your greek language;
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_new);


$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text');  


// restore previous language id
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_save);

// save current language id
$language_id_save = $this->config->get('config_language_id');
// set new language id
$language_id_new = 'el-gr';
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_new);


$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text');  


// restore previous language id
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_save);

id is a number not a 'code'. You need to look it up in your database, or use right click in admin
languages use language files - these files are codes
This is Opencarts filing structure and the way it works
https://github.com/opencart/opencart/wi ... art-Basics

$language_id_new = '2';
            $this->config->set('config_language_id','$language_id_new');

Thank you for the answer nonnedelectari.
I appreciate your time to respond.

I tried this but still loads the same English text.
I simply added the 'el-gr' to the $language_id_new

Code: Select all

// save current language id
$language_id_save = $this->config->get('config_language_id');
// set new language id
$language_id_new = 'el-gr';
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_new);


$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text');  


// restore previous language id
$this->config->set('config_language_id',$language_id_save);

Do I miss something? or do I need to change something else?

Thank you in advance!

		// overwrite language object with greek
		$language = new Language('el-gr');
		$language->load('el-gr');
		$this->registry->set('language', $language);		
		
		$this->load->language('extension/shipping/MyExtenison');
		$data['my_extension_text'] = $this->language->get('this_is_my_text'); 
		
		// restore default language
		$language = new Language($this->config->get('config_admin_language'));
		$language->load($this->config->get('config_admin_language'));
		$this->registry->set('language', $language);

Yes. The store is fully functional as it's a clone of my live store.

The specific extension that I use has both English and Greek file structures.

Does it play any role in the admin language or anything else in twig?

Thanks in advance!
