Accesing a variable in a default language

1

Hi all!

I’m looking to use a variable as a global variable for that page in all the languages of my website so I don’t have to modify each time. Let me explain myself:

I use a text variable called img_pos to set the background-position of the image. I wish to call the variable in the default language (in my case ‘ca’) so that in the template I can call it or change it only once.

Is it possible?? GPTs say to use page.translation(‘ca’).header.img_pos but doesn’t work…

P.D. by the way another issue I have is that {{ dump() }} doesn’t nothing so I use vardump to debug…

Help me pls!!

im really not sure if i understood right but if what you ask is this:
" i want a variable that works only for default language which is ca, how can i do that in template ? "
here is a code to solve that, put these to near top of twig file if you need

{% set defaultLanguage = grav.language.getDefault %}
{% set activeLanguage = grav.language.getActive|defined(defaultLanguage) %}

later you can do this for variables that appiles for only spesific languages

if activeLanguage is ca do this
else do this
endif

that is all, have a nice day :slight_smile:

No… I didn’t explain myself well it seems… let me try again.

I have a variable named img_pos in a template so I can use it calling {{ page.header.img_pos }}. What I need is to call the variable of a specific translation (default language) so if I’m showing the ‘es’ translation of the same page it calls the ‘ca’ vesion of the variable. Is it possible?

Use img_pos.es or ...ca

@Johanan, do you want to implement a global configuration setting? If so, you can use a theme variable + take a look at theme_var twig function.

Thank you very mu ch for the effort but no… sorry, but I feel I don’t explain myself well yet…

This is the website… Agenda | Noemí Pasquina
As you can see, there is a picture for each event. This picture is background-image loaded by URL and placed differently so the customer can adjust the exact y position with the next code:

style="background-image: url('{{ isset(p.header.img) ? p.media[p.header.img].url() : p.media[p.header.image].url() }}'); background-position-y: {{ p.header.img_pos }}%"

Now, I want to be able to use the variable saved in the default language version of the same page (in my case is ‘ca’) So that I use the same data for all the translations. Can anyone understand me now?
