php question

Post by coolpenguin » Mon Jan 16, 2012 2:57 am

Hello everyone,

Recently I started learning how to really get the most out of opencart, that means I am trying to understand php, css and html. I have a question about php aou guys and I hope you guys can help me get this knowledge.

Lets say in a template file this line is standing:

<h3><?php echo $text_information; ?></h3>

If I change the line to:

<h3><?php echo $text_frogs; ?></h3>

Why do I get an error if i create the following line in the right language file:

$_['text_frogs'] = 'frogs';

What do I do need to do to make it actually display text instead of an error? Has it something to do with a controller file?

Thanks in advance!

$this->data['text_frog'] = $this->language->get('text_frog');

Is VQMod essential to learn and is it hard?
