[SOLVED] How do I get the language in a node template?

Monday 05 November 2007 4:19:12 am

I have a template for a custom node where I need to load locale specific graphics (which contains locale specific text). I have my graphics in folders representing the site access ("images/nor/*" and "images/eng/*" in my custom design).

In a page layout I can use:

{def $locale = $access_type.name}

to do this. (ref http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/templates/the_pagelayout/variables_in_pagelayout)

Is there a solution to get the same value within the context of a node template?

I read the docs, but could find a proper solution here:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/templates/information_extraction/outputting_node_and_object_data

The graphics does not related to any specific attributes of the node, I just need the current language or siteaccess (since that's the same thing in my setup).

Hi Knut,

to fetch the current locale from a node template you can simply do this:

{def $locale = ezini( 'RegionalSettings', 'Locale', 'site.ini' )}

and you will get the current locale string in the usual form (language-COUNTRY) so then, splitting the locale string by - you can get the current language used.

hth!
