What it does
Function jrCore_lang
Example

  • What it does

    {jrCore_lang} shows a language string: a piece of text that can be translated. Skins and modules use it for all their text, so a site can change or translate it on the Language tab.

  • jrCore_lang

    Function
    jrCore_lang
    parameter
    type
    default
    required
    description
    module
    string
    -
    on
    The module the string belongs to. For a skin's strings, use skin instead.
    skin
    string
    -
    off
    The skin the string belongs to, such as $_conf.jrCore_active_skin
    id
    int
    -
    on
    The string's number in the lang file
    default
    string
    -
    off
    Text to show if the string doesn't exist. Master admins see it between asterisks, as a hint to add the string.
    1, 2, ...
    string
    -
    off
    Values for %1, %2 ... in the string
    assign
    string
    -
    off
    Put the result in this variable instead of showing it

  • Example

    {jrCore_lang module="jrEvent" id="33" default="Updated an Event"}
{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="12" default="Newest Members"}

  • The first shows string 33 of the Event module: $lang[33] in modules/jrEvent/lang/en-US.php.

  • When a module or skin is installed, its strings are copied into the database. Changing the lang file afterwards doesn't change the site: change the string on the module's or skin's Language tab instead.

  • New strings you add to a lang file are added at the next Integrity Check.
