I'm looking for a fast way to display a particular template file based on the current language of the page.
Let's say I have two languages : english and french (english being the default)
I have various templates files, like : page.tpl.php page-node-11.tpl.php in my theme directory.
I'd like to find out a way to include these files based on the current languages; so for example if the current language is 'english', it will include 'page.tpl.php', if the current language is 'french' it will include 'fr/page.tpl.php'.
I'm sure it's pretty straight forward, but can't figure out how; in template.php ?
Thanks for any help.
Assuming you're using the Internationalization module, rather than changing the template per language, you may want to consider taking advantage of the CSS class set on the body tag. I've used that technique on sites before and it was easier than dealing with another template file. If you don't use the i18n module, you could still add the body class inside a preprocess_page function.
If a body class won't work for you, you could look at the patch from the issue above for an example of how to add the language to the variables array during preprocessing. Then see the Working with template suggestions handbook page for how to add template suggestions based on the newly added language info.

I’m probably not understanding something fundamental to Jinja and/or MkDocs but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I’m building a static website and using MkDocs. I need to have a landing page, some documentation pages and some product pages. Each of these will use different templates that extend main.html in different ways.
What I don’t understand is how to ensure that when building my pages, MkDocs knows which of my templates, say landing.html, product.html or docs.html template to use for a given markdown file, say landing.md, product1.md, product2.md, product3.md And doc1.md, doc2.md and doc3.md
The answer is to use the template key which is documented at https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/writing-your-docs/#meta-data
I am trying to create a custom gitbook theme and in that I also want to change the layout so that the book I create using the theme have the layout that I want. I copied the default templates dir in my assests dir of the custom theme and then modified the layout.html and header.html files as I wanted. Then to include the modified template files, I added the following attribute to the index.js file
module.exports = {
book: {
assets: "./assests",
templates: {
"layout":"templates/layout.html",
"header":"templates/includes/book/header.html",
},
......
......
However with this configuration, the generated book is not picking the template file changes. However I do see the css/js changes that I had done.
For the record, layout and header template files do exist if you're going the "unadvised" (emphasizing the unadvised nature of this) route of:
Add "theme": "./customtheme" to your book.json file.
Create your customtheme folder in the root with the files from the Gitbook repo
Edit from there
This is so far the only way I've found edit your favicon, sidebar, header, and layout files. It's not recommended because you're no longer using the files in the repo, so updates could break it, but some things either aren't easy or possible to make changes without doing something messy and hacky like this. Hopefully simple things like updating a favicon, header, or sidebar could be made to be easier in the future. I've only found this solution after many, many google searches and plugin comparisons, so maybe some one has a better solution that I haven't found yet.
Templates "layout" and "header" don't exist. You can only change:
site: template for the website
glossary: template for the glossary
langs: template for the choice of languages
page: template for the ebook
Changing templates is really not advised, you should use plugins to only extend html,css,js using: https://github.com/GitbookIO/plugin/blob/master/index.js#L2
Hello everyone and thank you for taking time to read this.
I've been using Phalcon for quite a while for a high performance JSON/XML API.
The backend managing this application was/is still driven by an oudated version of symfony, but it is gonna be dropped in favour for Phalcon and the Volt Template engine.
Now my problem is the following:
Imagine a base application and a basic template and the application is modularized. Most modules are gonna be developed by different teams but they all have to integrate niceley, which from the program logic side is not a problem.
But imagine the following:
You have a simple page, some forms, head, navigation, etc, etc.
Now someone wants to add a module which injects a template block into the footer for whatever purpose. For example adding a TagCloud (for SEO purposes) into the footer.
The idea here is, that the plugin has way to edit any template files other than the ones it brings itself.
How can this be achieved without having to change the base templates after the initial development?
The idea is basically to hook into a event, lets call it TEMPLATE_RENDER for simplicity.
TEMPLATE_RENDER is fired, every listener that is registered for it now has its chance to add stuff to the template like additional blocks etc. All without having to manually change the core templates.
It would be sufficient if there is a way to simply add a bunch of template files together in Volt and output the compiled result.
EDIT:
Okay, after some thought what I'm looking for in Volt is this:
Compiler#compileMultipleFiles(String... files);
So it can be used like this:
$compiler->compileMultipleFiles('/path/to/template1','/path/to/template2', ...);
Which would do nothing else "in theory" than take everything in file1, file2, ..., fileN and put it into one large file and then compile that as a single template. If it is not yet possible I could emulate that function by simple having each files contents combined into a single file or cache variable and use compileString() but that would break any relative paths in the template, which would be a problem.
I could also compile each template down manually, but than I would end up with an pure html document without the ability to append to blocks in the main template.
Apparently there is no such function directly.
You can however use an array and iterate over this area at the end of the primary template and dynamically include any file passed into there.
I believe that you're looking for a Volt include. You can leave some tests in your templates like:
{% if foo.enabled %}
{% include "foo/bar.volt" %}
{% endif %}
If you need something more complex than this you can use template inheritance also.
i´m developing a theme and for some reason i need to move the default position for breadcrubms (also for many other things) over woocommerce themes. Then i realised to do something like this on my functions.php:
function woocommerce_remove_breadcrumb(){
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20);
}
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_remove_breadcrumb');
function woocommerce_custom_breadcrumb(){
woocommerce_breadcrumb();
}
add_action( 'woo_custom_breadcrumb', 'woocommerce_custom_breadcrumb' );
And then on any template file, output the breadcrumb just with:
<? do_action('woo_custom_breadcrumb'); ?>
And works. My question is more than that. Is this the correct approach for something like this? I mean for anything over woocommerce, not just breadcrumb, for any pice, ratings, titles, buttons, sidebar, and so on.
What i´m thinking on is why woocommerce templates don´t come with more deep code. I mean, why there´s no such a single-content-loop.php template where you can just change the order of things, title, category, content, images, etc. in an easy way rather that hooking into functions?
I think that is an acceptable way to call the breadcrumbs explicitly. Sometimes it is easier to call a specific function than remove everything around it!
As for changing the order of things and getting into advanced customization; there isn't a single file, but a number of files working together. Create a folder in your themes root called 'woocommerce' and copy the following files for a safe override:
woocommerce/woocommerce-hooks.php:
Here are your hooks, including the ones you are overriding in your themes functions.php. Here is where you can experiment with removing and repositioning certain elements on your product page. Search for 'Sidebar' and you will see where the 'woocommerce_sidebar' action is added with the function it references in...
woocommerce/woocommerce-template.php:
Here are the functions used in template files to output content based on conditional statements. For instance, search for the 'Single Product' series and you can see which template files are used for which functions. For instance 'woocommerce_template_single_title' uses 'single-product/title.php' - if you copy over this folder and file you can make very specific edits to just the title section
Between these two files and their accompanying references (like title.php) I believe you can do the things you described. Let me know how it works out! I'm new to woocommerce too!
I have installed ModX and Downloaded the "Basic" Template in the Extensionmanager! I chose the Basic Template at my first Page for the Resource! I cant find a Globalsetting to choose an Template? My problem is that if iam going to the site i only get the pure html code shown, no website! Why is this?
AFAIK there is no "Globalsetting" to choose a template. One of the nice things with MODX is that each resource can specify which template to use. So you can mix and match as required.
You could check if you have set the base href tag in head like this:
<base href="http://www.yoursite.com"/>
It will tell the site where to start looking for the other files that you have included in your markup.
