Smarty将var分配给配置文件vars

Question

My question looks almost the same as this Is it possible to put variables inside config files?

I have a config file that controls the language. Also I have a feedback div that is showed for the feedback.

Now I want to assign feedback like this:

$smarty->assign('feedback', 'the_age_of_user_' . $user->name . '_is_changed_to_' . $user->age . '_years');

nl.conf

the_age_of_user_%s_is_changed_to_%s_years = De leeftijd van gebruiker %s gewijzigd naar %s jaar

en.conf

the_age_of_user_%s_is_changed_to_%s_years = The age of user %s is changed to %s years

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Or is there a better solution to assign variables to the config file?

Answer 1

Sorry, but I don't completely understand what are you trying to accomplish.

In our project, we have following solution for similar problem:

Language file:

the_age_of_user_is_changed = The age of user {user} is changed to {year} years

Notice that there is no %s or any variables on left side. It is always constant.

Option 1:

1. Smarty/code assigment: $smarty->assign("VARIABLE_TO_USE_IN_TEMPLATE", getLang('the_age_of_user_is_changed', array('user' => $user->name,'year' => $user->age));

2. Then, in Smarty, you can use following code: {$VARIABLE_TO_USE_IN_TEMPLATE}

Function getLang reads string information from language files and replaces all {symbol} to corresponding data.

Option 2:

1. In template, we have smarty userspace function: {LANG key='the_age_of_user_is_changed' name=$user->name year=$user->age} Lang is actually calls function getLang from previous example.

2. In code you have to assign user: $smarty->assign("user", $user); . After that, smarty will do everything by itself.
