Hi everyone,

My cart is using 2 languages french and english, i want to display different images if the user select english or french, is there any way to retrieve the language values ?

I tried this in the catalog/template/default/layout.tpl :

Code: Select all

	<?php
		if(isset($_REQUEST['language']) && $_REQUEST['language'] == 'en')
		{
			echo $_REQUEST['language'];
	?>
	<div id="homepage_image">
		ENGLISH
	</div>
	<?php
		}
		else
		{
			echo $_REQUEST['language'];
	?>
	<div id="homepage_image">
		FRANCAIS
	</div>
	<?php
		}
	?>
But it didn't work as I didn't retrieve the language value.

Any solutions ?

Thanks

If at all, the language value would be only available in $_POST['language'], and this only when it was submitted by the user when he was changing his language. The only safe way to accomplish what you plan to do is by doing this in your controller:

Code: Select all

....
$language =& $this->locator->get('language');
....
$view->set('image_name', ($language->getCode()=='en') ? 'english.gif' : 'french.gif');
....
And in your corresponding tpl file, it needs something like this:

Code: Select all

....
<img src="<?php echo 'image/'.$image_name; ?>" alt="whatever" />
....

That is exactly what the language files do. All text is chosen based on the language being displayed.

I was thinking to do something like that, as I already did for other additional text.

But for the file catalog/template/default/layout.tpl. There is no controller where I can input this code. That's why i tried to get the language values using $_REQUEST table.
