I use this code to get the country name,
Mage::getModel('directory/country')->loadByCode('DE')->getName();
in this sample I get "Germany". How can I get the translation of the country name to show for example "Deutschland" for the german language ?
Note: I don't use the code in a frontendend Module (it must be independant from the Frontend language of the customer).
Thanks a lot for help.
Of course Magento translation engine can be used in your external script:
Mage::getSingleton('core/translate')->init('de_DE', true);
$country_name = Mage::getModel('directory/country')->loadByCode('DE')->getName();
echo Mage::helper('core')->__($country_name);
Or you can use Zend_Locale class ar an alternative:
$locale = new Zend_Locale('de_DE');
$countries = $locale->getTranslationList('Territory', $locale->getLanguage(), 2);
echo $countries['DE'];

I've explored lot of questions and articles regarding this but I can't find how to get this done.
I'm doing a website which provides specifications of several products such as phones, tablets, tv etc. Here's what I've:
Controller - Specs (create and display specification of all products)
Method - Display (fetches detailed specs of selected model and shows)
Method - Index (lists names of all models stored in the table. this is where I build anchor links)
Display method takes three arguments (1, 2, 3).
1 - Type of product (Phones, Tablets, TV etc)
2 - Model Slug (iphone-6, galaxy-tab-s3, bravia-kdl-50w800d etc)
3 - Model ID (1, 4, 13 etc)
My URLs right now are like this:
localhost/sitename/specs/display/phones/iphone-6/1
localhost/sitename/specs/display/tablets/galaxy-tab-s3/4
localhost/sitename/specs/display/tv/bravia-kdl-50w800d/13
What I want to achieve is URLs which are like this:
localhost/sitename/iphone-6
localhost/sitename/galaxy-tab-s3
localhost/sitename/bravia-kdl-50w800d
I don't mind restructuring my tables/controllers/methods or anything else if this can be achieved using whatever.
Thanks for reading.
Edit:
Route.php
$route['default_controller'] = 'Specs/index';
$route['404_override'] = 'Errors/show_404';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
This is how I'm building the anchor links (view_file->index.php, called from Index method):
<?php
foreach model(in the table)
echo anchor(specs_controller.display_function.product_type.model_slug.model_id, model_name);
end foreach
?>
I can get the desired URLs with following code in route.php. Only problem is I'm not able to make the 'urlController/urlMethod' return a value in the function which can be assigned to $result variable.
$route['(:any)'] = function ($1)
{
$result = 'urlController/urlMethod/'.$1;
return $result;
};
I'm not sure how to do this. Can someone suggest how I should call 'urlController/urlMethod'?
You could achieve it with CodeIgniter URI Routing. Considering
localhost/sitename/galaxy-tab-s3
maps to
localhost/sitename/specs/display/tablets/galaxy-tab-s3/4
And, model id i.e 4, in this case, is static with respect to galaxy tab s3, as you have not mentioned any such Id in the simplified URL.
My understanding is with every URL localhost/sitename/iphone-6, you need three details about the string 'iphone-6'. i.e. type of product, model-slug, model id. One way could be write something like
$route['sitename/(:any)'] = 'routingController/commonRoutingMethod/$1';
Here, create a new routingController and write some logic into commonRoutingMethod() method, which takes the string like iphone-6 and fetches its all three details i.e. product type, model id etc. And then redirects by building the exact URL using
header('Location: http://localhost/sitename/specs/display/$productType/$modelSlug/$modelId/');
NOTE : There could be more forward ways just using regex match in routes.php, given that you create diffrentiated structure of the string, based on product type and model id e.g p_iphone-6_1 or t_galaxy-tab-s3_4.
Please use below routing code, to achieve it.
localhost/sitename/specs/display/phones/iphone-6/1
localhost/sitename/specs/display/tablets/galaxy-tab-s3/4
localhost/sitename/specs/display/tv/bravia-kdl-50w800d/13
localhost/sitename/iphone-6
localhost/sitename/galaxy-tab-s3
localhost/sitename/bravia-kdl-50w800d
$route['(:any)'] = 'specs/display/$1/$1/$1';
Let me know if you need any help.
im using a package called Laravel-Translatable
but is giving me more problemns that i expect, mainly with quite simple tasks. For example i have a list of all records (products), and each of them haves 2 languages translated (en,es). But now i need to edit the product information to put in the inputs fields, and for this i wish in my edit page get all the translated details (title, description), but for some reason, is returning me only one language, it doesnt return all the translated details from a specific product:
ex: return Product::where('id', '2')->get();
Somebody uses this package?
Just read the documentation. Therein is all that you need.
Some example:
$product = Product::where('id', 2)->get();
$product->translate('de')->title = "Germany title";
$product->translateOrNew('pl')->title = "Polish title";
//Shortcut
$product->{'title:pl'} = 'lorem ipsum';
$product->save(); //It Will save all translations and main model
In my project I am trying to provide dynamic sizing in one of my modules. I am trying to figure out in yii2 internationalization how can I get the string length of the translated text.
for instance:
<?php
//I am getting the name from the database. Assume name to be "Hello"
$name = $gettingNameFrom->db;
//Now $name is equal to string "Hello"
//The below function will dump the output to be int(5) as the length of hello is 5
var_dump(strlen($name));
//Now I want to apply translation to the above name in the db.
// I have all my translation configured and working fine.
echo Yii::t('app','{0}',[$name]);
//I have configured fo french language.
// the above output for "Hello" in french would be "Bonjour".
?>
Now how can I get the length of the translated text? I am unable to find any help online on this topic. Any help appreciated.
Thanks!!
$translated = Yii::t('app', $name);
var_dump(strlen($translated));
I'd like to get all my categories in my header (header.tpl) of my Prestashop theme but it seems not working well...
My code header.tpl :
{$childCategories= Category::getChildren(0, 0, $active = true, $id_shop = false);}
{printf($childCategories)}
Issue : Error 500
The code you have written is not valid for smarty. Prestashop uses Smarty to render templates. Please, take a look to the rules if you want to avoid troubles like this. Also, you have a lot of examples in the default theme of Prestashop to learn more about coding in Smarty.
The right code would be:
{assign var='childCategories' value=Category::getChildren(1, 1, true, false)}
Arguments to be passed
$id_parent : The parent category id. The root id category is 1 and the home id category is 2.
$id_lang: The id language. You can check it in the localization area to get the id of a language. If you have enable multiple languages, you could use the $language variable to get the id. List of global variables in Prestashop.
$active: Return only the active caregories.
$id_shop: The id of a shop if you have got multiple shops in an instalation.
Printing variables to debug
If you want debug or see the variables, you could try the following snippets of code:
{* Print only the variable $childCategories *}
{$childCategories|var_dump}
or:
{* Print all variables *}
{debug}
A template header.tpl comes from FrontController.php function displayHeader().
Category doesn't exists there, because header.tpl is a comprehensive template used in all pages.
There are several hooks which you can use adding content there: displayHeader, displayTop, displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn, displayFooter.
You can add all categories in any module and one of these hooks like that:
$category = new Category((int)Configuration::get('PS_HOME_CATEGORY'), $this->context->language->id);
$sub_categories = $category->getSubCategories($this->context->language->id);
// else code
How can I read the section a certain URI belongs to?
I want to enhance the mod_breadcrumb to put section and category into the HTML. JApplication->getPathway() returns a JPathway which basically holds an assiciative array combining a name and an URL (as $list[]->name and $list[]->link). I think, it should be possible to get the section and category from a link, but don't know how.
A starting point could be the parsing into JURI-Object, but from there I don't know how get get further. Any ideas?
Pretty straight forward...
I assume you want to add category and section for the article and not your custom component.
Check if requested current URL is for article. If it is for article you know the article ID, use this article Id to go database and get catid from #__content, Use this cat_id to go to #__categories and get section (this is section id), go to #__sections to get the proper section name. All this can be done in 1 sql statement.
$breadcrumbs =& JFactory::getApplication()->getPathway();
$breadcrumbs->addItem("SECTION_NAME", JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=SECTION_ID"));
$breadcrumbs->addItem("CATEGOY_NAME", JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=CATEGORY_ID"));
$breadcrumbs->addItem("Article");
Alternatively, if you know the URL from the breadcrumb item. You can parse it and get IDS. The trick here is not to get the default URI object by JFactory::getURI() because things will get ugly, use JFactory::getURI('YOU_URI_NAME').
<?php
// You need to get Your own uri, you do not want to modify default URI
// because this will messup a lot of things
$uri = JFactory::getURI('MyCustomURI');
// Test # 1 [ID = SECTION_ID]
$url = "index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=SECTION_ID";
$uri->parse($url);
echo "CURRENT SECTION = " . (int) $uri->getVar('id');
// Test # 2 [ID = 123]
$url = "index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=123";
$uri->parse($url);
echo "CURRENT SECTION = " . (int) $uri->getVar('id');
?>
