Hi there
Up until this point I have always hard coded links to info pages and the like onto the template. Maybe some in header and some in footer etc...all exactly where I want them to appear.
However, I've just done my first opencart site with 2 languages and quickly found out when a user changes to German, for example, nothing changes obviously on these hard coded parts.
So...my question is...how do I add a link to template without hard coding it?
Issue number 2 is when I have placed a strapline on a site...let's say I've added the words 'build, belong, believe' in the header template next to logo...this is obviously hard coded too...so how can I added these words so they are translated? Do I create a new language string for example?
Many thanks in advance

First, you can go to each language file, for example: catalog\language\english\default.php, add texts you want to translate at the end of the file
After that, you edit the header.tpl file, and translated text by this code:
So texts will be translated when switch to other language.
Code: Select all
$_['text_my_work'] = 'My Work';
$_['text_my_projects'] = 'My Projects';
Code: Select all
<?php global $language; echo $language->get('text_my_work'); ?>http://www.viethemes.com - OpenCart turtorials, news, tips and stricks, extension

Just need to figure out adding information pages into template without hard coding then.

So 1 last thing is:
What code do I need to place on template to call in..
A Specific info page (lets say ID 3)
But...not hard code the text between the link to ID3...as otherwise it won't work with other languages
Need the trigger text to pick up my 2nd language (German)
If anyone can give some pointers that would be great.

You can try this code:
Note that change information=1 to your ID you want to add.
Code: Select all
<?php global $url; echo $url->link('information/information', 'information_id=1'); ?>http://www.viethemes.com - OpenCart turtorials, news, tips and stricks, extension

Ok but in each info page I can already have
English title
German title
So can't these be drawn in to create the link text?
Rather than creating a language string
Thanks

It is hard to display title of information like that. You should use the above solution
