Question

Is it possible to print a variable inside the JText

ie:- i need to print $email to test whether it is nil or has value in it…

$this->setMessage(JText::_('COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_ACTIVATE_SUCCESS'));

Answer 1

The JText class has a static method ‘_’ which converts the string argument passed into it into another string, using the language files and settings appropriate for the context. If you want to see what is being passed to setMessage you could just try:

echo 'DEBUG setMessage argument: "'.JText::_('COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_ACTIVATE_SUCCESS').'"';

If you find that this reveals that _ is returning nothing, then it is likely an indication that there is not an entry for ‘COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_ACTIVATE_SUCCESS’ in the language file(s) being used.

EDIT:

If you need to append $email then just do this:

$this->setMessage(JText::_('COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_ACTIVATE_SUCCESS').$email);
