<p>Template Dictionary is a plugin which can be used to create template variables editable by admins.</p>
<p>The plugin is multilingual ready. It includes Polylang integration, another multilingual plugin can be integrated with filters.</p>
<h4>Admin pages</h4>
<p>There are few admin pages for managing the plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Template Dictionary</strong> – view, edit and delete the template variables values</li>
<li><strong>Settings list</strong> – view, edit and delete template variables settings</li>
<li><strong>Add setting</strong> – add new or edit template variables setting</li>
<li><strong>Edit values</strong> – edit a value, this page is accessable from the page <strong>Template Dictionary</strong></li>
<li><strong>Export/Import</strong> – export settings and values to xml or import it from xml</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage in template</h4>
<p>You can use a value in template by calling function <code>get</code> of Template Dictionary object, which can be accessed by function <code>TmplDict()</code>.</p>
<p>For example, if you set a setting with code <em>the_code</em>, you can use it’s value by:</p>
<pre><code>TmplDict()->get( 'the_code' );
</code></pre>
<p>This function returns the value. If you need to echo the value, you can use function <code>eget</code>. Both functions have an optional argument <code>$default</code>, which is the default returned/echoed value, if the admin value is empty.</p>
<p>You can also get the value by accessing the code as property:</p>
<pre><code>$value = TmplDict()->the_code;
</code></pre>
<h4>Usage with shortcode</h4>
<p>You can also use a shortcode <code>[tmpl_dict]</code> with attributes <code>code</code>, <code>default</code> and <code>do_shortcode</code>. The last attribute says, if the function <code>do_shortcode</code> will be called on the value.</p>
<h4>Setup template language</h4>
<p>Default template language can be set by setting the constant <code>TMPL_DICT_DEFAULT_LANG</code> in wp-config. Default value of this constant consists of two first characters of the current WP locale. <strong>It is important to set the default language constant properly if you plan to create your site multilingual in future.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you have a multilingual site</strong>, you need to set current template language with the filter <code>template_dictionary_language</code>. For users of Polylang, it is already integrated in this plugin, the current template language is the Polylang current language slug.</p>
<h4>Setup available languages</h4>
<p><strong>If you have a multilingual site</strong>, you also need to set available languages with the filter <code>template_dictionary_languages</code>. Again, if Polylang is activated, these available languages consist of Polylang languages slugs.</p>
<p>If your site is not multilingual, there is only one available language – the default language.</p>
<h4>Use JS object</h4>
<p>To generate JavaScript dictionary object, you need to define <code>TMPL_DICT_JS_VAR_NAME</code> constant. Add to <code>wp_config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'TMPL_DICT_JS_VAR_NAME', 'dict' );
</code></pre>
<p>Then you can use it in JS:</p>
<pre><code>$('#some-element').text( dict.the_code );
</code></pre>
