Get current langauge in init.php or init method of module

[Zeka]

Hi!

Just curious is it possible to get current language in init.php or init method of modules? 

 

[Sergio]

It is. 

// _init.php

$lang = $user->language; 

//_main.php

<?= $lang->title ?> //English or German etc.

@Sergio Thanks, but not in templates/_init.php, but site/init.php

If nothing else helps you can get it from the first url segment I guess.

Ops! Sorry! Soma showed a way to get in on a module init method:

@Sergio  Thanks, I have tried all from that thread, but it also doesn't work. $this->wire("user")->language->name always returns 'default', but in ready.php or ready modules method it works as expected, so it seems that user language is determined and set on ready stage here. 

The issue that I'm trying to solve: I'm using Padloper and by accessing 'padloper/ajaxViewCart/' I can get the view of the cart for ajax requests. It works as expected for default language, but not for non-default languages. So, I was trying to find a way how to get current language, but now I assume that it's not going to help as on init stage there is no page object and I actually can't get non-default lang values of fields. Here the code which responsible for that.

public function init() {
	.....
	$this->addHookBefore('ProcessPageView::execute', $this, 'runPadloper');
	....
}

 public function runPadloper($event) {

    $it = isset($_GET['it']) ? $_GET['it'] : "";
    if (substr($it, 0, 1) === '/') $it = ltrim($it, "/");

    // We only allow urls like /padloper/ and /d/ here
    if(strpos($it, "padloper/") !== false || strpos($it, "d/") !== false) {
      // Do nothing
    } else {
      return;
    }

    switch ($it) {

	.....

      case 'padloper/ajaxViewCart/':
        echo $this->modules->get("PadRender")->viewCart();
        exit();
        break;

whats about detecting it and set it to a session var in site/finished.php and afterwards looking for it in site/init.php?

 

PS: it would need extra attention if a language change url was currently clicked.
