Small issue with ordersummary.tpl's variable called $cycle.

[-M-]

Hi guys,

 

Quick question on ordersummary.tpl there is a variable called {$cycle}.

 

Here is the part of ordersummary.tpl with this variable:

 

       {foreach from=$producttotals.pricing.recurringexcltax key=cycle item=recurring}
           <div class="clearfix">
               <span class="pull-left">{$cycle}:</span>
               <span class="pull-right">{$recurring}</span>
           </div>
       {/foreach}

 

I think this variable is linked somehow to:

 

$_LANG['orderpaymenttermannually'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermbiennially'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermfreeaccount'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermmonthly'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermonetime'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermquarterly'] = "xx";
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermsemiannually'] = "xx";

 

Now the "problem" is that if I change the translation in dutch.php it will change them for all other values as well which are linked to the above.

 

Now I just want to change translation for just that page into something else, without changing it for other pages / templates as well. In other words, I want to assign the ordersummary.tpl it's own language changes for that part.

 

Something like the following (but then for ordersummary.tpl):

 

{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "monthly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermmonthlyalternative}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "quarterly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermquarterlyalternative}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "semiannually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermsemiannuallyalternative}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "annually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermannuallyalternative}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "biennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermbienniallyalternative}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "triennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermtrienniallyalternative}
{/if}

 

(please take notice of "alternative"-part)

 

Obviously, the above isn't correct, but just an example of what I am trying to achieve, so I can use different names on ordersummary.tpl in comparism to other pages.

 

Can someone give me a partial example or point me in the right direction?

 

Thank you!

you'll need to do this in two ways... firstly, using Language Overrides to create your alternative translations.

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Language_Overrides

 

the documentation explains what to do in more detail - but, in brief, you create a folder within the 'lang' directory, call it "overrides" - inside the folder, you create a file for each language you need to add overrides for - if your site only uses Dutch, then you only need to add 'dutch.php'; if you use other languages, you'll need to add them too.

 

btw - you never edit the original language files - they will get replaced when updating WHMCS, these new overrides will not.

 

inside dutch.php, add the following...

 

<?php
$_LANG['altpaymentcycleannually'] = "Annually (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcyclebiennially'] = "Biennially (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcycletriennially'] = "Triennially (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcyclefreeaccount'] = "Free (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcyclemonthly'] = "Monthly (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcycleonetime'] = "One-Time (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcyclequarterly'] = "Quarterly (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcyclesemi-annually'] = "Semi-Annually (Alt)";

obviously, put your dutch terms inside the quotes!

 

and then in ordersummary.tpl, you can do this...

 

        {foreach from=$producttotals.pricing.recurringexcltax key=cycle item=recurring}
           <div class="clearfix">
               {$altpaymentcycle = "altpaymentcycle{$cycle|strtolower}"}  
               <span class="pull-left">{$LANG.{$altpaymentcycle}}:</span>
               <span class="pull-right">{$recurring}</span>
           </div>
       {/foreach}

you could use an {if} statement for every cycle and display an alternative term for each one - but the above is a quick way to do it using existing Smarty variables.

Thanks Brian,

 

I was already using the overrides function for Dutch (have over 240 lines atm).

 

Anyways, I added your language examples also to it and edited ordersummary.tpl.

But I don't think it's correct; the only result I am getting back, or better said, being displayed is ':'

No tranlastion or anything? Just the ':'

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

yes - i'm an idiot!

 

the testing on the above code was so poor and incomplete, i'm now qualified to work for WHMCS Quality Assurance Division - but i'm not even sure it has one!

 

the mistake I made was to test it in English, and assume that the $cycle values were always in English - a basic mistake!

 

so the Smarty code is correct, but it's the dutch overrides that will be wrong... e.g for Monthly and Quarterly cycles, use these...

 

$_LANG['altpaymentcyclemaandelijks'] = "Monthly (Alt)";
$_LANG['altpaymentcycleper kwartaal'] = "Quarterly (Alt)";

and then adjust your other entries and replace the English cycle term with its dutch equivalent.

Thanks Brian!

 

That indeed worked. I really didn't have a clue what I was doing wrong.

Thank you nevertheless
