txp:text... Where to set???

mhulse · 2007-11-02 01:36:16

Hello,

<txp:text item="go_content" />

Where are the text item variables set?

I am sure this is soooo obvious, but I just am not seeing the answer.

This looks like a useful thing though… :)

txp:text is one of those few tags I never quite understood:)

Mary · 2007-11-02 07:29:39

It outputs lang strings from the database (which enable us to have Txp available in multiple languages).

The example in the textbook is still too abstract for me. How can the tag be used in ‘real’ life?

Mary · 2007-11-02 08:33:38

Well, it is used in a couple of the default forms, for example.

Hi colak and Mary,

Many thanks for you quick replies, I really appreciate the help and attention. :)

Hmm, interesting. New questions:

Is there a list of all available txp:text variables? (Would this be best described as constant variables?)
Is it possible to create my own text constants?

Sorry if I am still not fully understanding.

I can also see how this feature would be helpful in situations other than language translations (that is, if I can set my own text variables.)

I am kinda reminded of Expression Engine’s global variables… Via the template and/or path.php file.

Thanks! :)
Cheers,
Micky

they are set in the txp_lang table of your database. not sure how you’re planning on approaching it though…wouldn’t the exact same thing be accomplished by using forms? have your ‘constant’, ‘global’ text in a form and then just output that form wherever you need it?

There’s no listing anywhere I know of.

No.
That’s not what it is intended for. :) As already pointed out, you can use forms.

Whoa, I was going to list the available txp:text variables in this thread, but it looks like 35 pages via phpMyAdmin.

Forms sounds good to me. :)

Thanks all for the info, I really appreciate it.

Have great day/night.
Cheers,
Micky
