Question

I´m display a slider that get´s the images from custom field, now I need that the slider shows different images depending on the language (es – ca):

This is the code of the slider:

        <a href="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_enlace') ?>">
            <img src="<?php the_field('slider_home_1'); ?>">
        </a>

So I´m creating a conditional tag to load images depending of the language of qtranslate plugin:

        <?php
        _e('<!--:es-->
                <a href="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_enlace') ?>">
                    <img src="<?php <the_field('slider_home_1'); ?>">
                </a>
            <!--:-->
            <!--:ca-->
                <a href="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_enlace_ca') ?>">
                    <img src="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_ca'); ?>">
                </a>
            <!--:-->');
        ?>

I´m a php begginer so I see the problem maybe that the php is inside another php, because this way its not working, if i just put text between tags it works properly for the language.

Any ideas how to syntax this?

You need to check language first, using if – else

detect the language and store it to the variable named $language and then check the condition as below.

<?php
if(qtrans_getLanguage()=="es"){
?>
  <a href="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_enlace'); ?>">
      <img src="<?php the_field('slider_home_1'); ?>">
  </a>
<?php
} else if(qtrans_getLanguage()=="ca"){
?>
  <a href="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_enlace_ca'); ?>">
      <img src="<?php the_field('slider_home_1_ca'); ?>">
  </a>
<?php
}
?>
