[SOLVED] Adding an external link to the headerlinks dependent on language

[sshare]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add a link to the headerlink to a plain HTML site, however I would like it to send the people to the page in the language that they are already on in Prestashop.

For example if they are using the shop in French I want to send them to domain.com/fr/index.html, English to go to domain.com/en/index.html, and so on.

 

I've tried a couple of things trying to use an if statement as follows, but no luck as of now;

<li><a href="http://www.domain.com/{if $language->id == 1}en/index.html{/if}{if $language->id == 3}es/index.html{/if}">{l s='distribution'}</a></li>

Also:

<li><a {if $language->id == 1}href="http://www.domain.com/en/index.html"{/if}{if $language->id == 3}href="http://www.domain.com/es/index.html"{/if}>{l s='distribution'}</a></li>

I then got desperate and tried:

{if $language->id == 1}<li><a href="http://www.domain.com/en/index.html">{l s='distribution'}</a></li>{/if}
{if $language->id == 3}<li><a href="http://www.domain.com/es/index.html">{l s='distribucion'}</a></li>{/if}

But same no luck.

Some of you will probably laugh at the above code

 

Is it possible to do something like this?

 

Any input is highly appreciated.

{if $lang_iso=="en"}

<a href="link english">english</a>

{elseif $lang_iso=="it"}

<a href="link italian">italian</a>

{elseif $lang_iso=="es"}

<a href="link spanish">spanish</a>

{/if}

Thanks Milos, I'll give it a go. I found another "solution" on the French forum where someone used the translation files to edit the link, although not sure if that would be considered correct?

if your url will contain special chars - it can generate some problems :-)

anyway, if it works now, don't worry about that :-)

Off Topic, do you have any idea on this please?

Hello,

 

I have a custom .html file in my prestashop and want to show different content depending on language.

 

So tried to use inside .html file the following but is not working. I got errors.

<?php 

{if $lang_iso=="el"}

?>

                 <div>the greek content </div>


<?php
                            {else}

?>

               <div> the english content</div>

<?php
                            {/if}

?>

As this is not a .php or .tpl file i don't know how to make it works.

 

Please if is possible i want a quick answer. Thank you

 

Best Regards
