Hi,
I need to do some parsing, translating, on the {content} tag of the error messages on our EE site.

We have built a tri lingual site, and everything works great except for the redirect/error messages!  There seems to be no way to have them translate based on the global variable that holds the “country_code” information.

I am very close, but don’t understand something about EE, please help.
I have downloaded the system_messages plugin, so that we could work in a real template instead of the admin site.

This is my content code on the template:

{exp:replace_plus find="You did not submit a search term" replace="french version of you did not submitted a search term"}
{content}
{/exp:replace_plus}

This doesn’t work at all. 

However, the find/replace works if I use a string instead of the {content} tag.
And the Content tag is working fine, it shows up, it just doesn’t get translated.

We’ve been trying to solve this for about 2 weeks.  Please help.  We have to find a solution, or will have to… rebuild the entire site…?  There must be a way to do this.  I have tried about 8 solutions to no avail yet!

Thanks for any help,
Phoebe

Phoebe,

This thread is more appropriate in the CodeShare Corner so moving it here.

Did you try a parse=“inward” on your plugin tag?

{exp:replace_plus find="You did not submit a search term" replace="french version of you did not submitted a search term" parse="inward"}
{content}
{/exp:replace_plus}

Hm, inward tag doesn’t help. 

I thought perhaps I could use includes, but I can’t get conditionals to work on the {content} tag either.. .must be the order of parsing….

hmmm!

also just tried to affect the content of the {content} tag w/ php to no avail!

<?php
$content_v = "{embed:content}"; 
$content_v =  str_replace  ("did not", "did", $content_v);
echo $his; 
?>

Returns, on the error template
“You did not submit a search term”

However,

<?php
$content_v = "You did not submit a search term"; 
$content_v =  str_replace  ("did not", "did", $content_v);
echo $his; 
?>

Returns
“You did submit a search term”

So frustrating, because the php is working, the embed is working the the {content} is working, they just will NOT work together…..

any suggestions?????

Bump. I’m having the same issue.

Is PHP set to input or output?

Also:

$content_v = "{embed:content}"; 
$content_v =  str_replace  ("did not", "did", $content_v);
echo $his;  //<---Where does $his get set?  Should it be $content_v?

PHP is set to output. I’ve actually tried it on both just for fun. It seems the that {content} tag isn’t getting populated until AFTER everything else, including PHP.

My setup is slightly different than Phoebe’s. Like her, I am using the Custom System Messages extension, but I am attempting to use PHP to parse the contents of {content} before it is outputted. To illustrate:

<?php

$message = "{content}";

mail([all_appropriate_fields], $message);

?>

I just used the mail function so I could see what exactly PHP was getting as the body of {content}. The mail message only contains:

{content}

so it’s obviously not getting set until AFTER PHP is evaluated.

This is an issue with the Custom System Messages Extension.  The {content} and a few other tags are not parsed until after $this->EE->TMPL->run_template_engine($template[0], $template[1]); 

Possible fix (add the following):

$this->EE->config->_global_vars = array_merge($this->EE->config->_global_vars, $data);

before line 157

$this->EE->TMPL->run_template_engine($template[0], $template[1]);

in the ext.system_messages.php file.  Warning this is untested.

the3mus1can, that is a good solution, I’ll look into adding that. I can add that, but I will probably prefix it with something like {csm:content} since {content} is a pretty generic variable name. That way if, just like in this case, {content} isn’t working, they can resort to using {csm:content}.

Thanks for pointing this out.

This is untested too, but you can try this:

foreach($data as $var => $value)
        {
            $this->EE->config->_global_vars['csm:'.$var] = $value;
        }
        
        // Parse the template
        $this->EE->TMPL->run_template_engine($template[0], $template[1]);

Then you have {csm:content}, {csm:referrer} etc

Let me know if that works for you.

I tried Brian’s fix posted above and it appears to be working! PHP now has access to {csm:content}. Thank you very much gentlemen!
