$ signs in languagefiles

[Boudewijn Sjouke]

Hi all,

Some time ago there was a discussion about using variablenames in languagefiles. Since then, I saw those names appear between "#".
In the current helptext I see the $ appear again, but it's escaped out, for instance $pgv_lang[login_aut] appears in the helpfile as \$pgv_lang[login_aut] and shows on the screen as text.
I understand the editor puts the \ in front.
So.... how can I use variables in helptext now?

This is a real problem :-(

For al developers... Please keep in your mind:

If you want to use a variable inside a lang-message do the following:

$pgv_lang["xxx"] = "Message and the $var I want to use inside it";

should be:

$pgv_lang["xxx"] = "Message and the #VAR# I want to use inside it";

And inside the scipt where $pgv_lang["xxx"] is used:

Instead of
print $pgv_lang["xxx"];

use:

print str_replace("#VAR#", $var, $pgv_lang["xxx"]);

Else we get probs with the language editor :-(

bye, Kurt

Hi people,

The problems with the $ and # are solved now.
In the, already translated, files I have replaced the $ by #.

Botak helped me to change the code.
So we have a new help_text.php.
To get it working you also have to replace the functions_print.php.

I will put them in the patch section.

The files are also in the cvs.
