change menu url depending the language

[plusplushosting]

Anyone know what is the language variable i have to use with an IF so i can point to different url depending the language selected in WHMCS?

 

Thanx!

 

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
   $navItem = $primaryNavbar->getChild('Contact Us');
   if (is_null($navItem)) {
       return;
   }

   $navItem->setUri('https://www.domain.net/contact');

});

try with the SESSION variable

if ($_SESSION['language']=="english") {
   // Set URL
}
else if ($_SESSION['language']=="french") {
   // Set Different URL
}
else {
   // Set Default URL Maybe
}

   $navItem = $primaryNavbar->getChild('Contact Us');
   if (is_null($navItem)) {
       return;
   }
 if ($_SESSION['language']=="spanish") {

 }

try with the SESSION variable

lol - I figured out three different methods to attempt this last night... but none of them would work 100% - I didn't even think of checking the session!

 

unfortunately, as plus says, this session trick doesn't quite work... Language isn't in the session at the start.

 

I wrote the hook below to test sentq's idea...

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
if ($_SESSION['Language']=="english") {
   $contactlink = "http://www.google.co.uk";
}
elseif ($_SESSION['Language']=="french") {
   $contactlink = "http://www.google.fr";
}
else {
   $contactlink = "http://www.google.com";
}  
   if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Contact Us'))) {
             $primaryNavbar->getChild('Contact Us')
                           ->setUri($contactlink);
   }

});

by default, it doesn't work because Language doesn't exist... so it will set the contact link to google.com

 

however, as soon as you select a language from the menu, Language is in the session and the contact link then changes based on the language chosen.

 

so it's nearly there - we just need some guaranteed way to get the initial value of language.. perhaps pulling it from the Smarty variable would be one way, but maybe sentq has an alternative ?
