Links in language strings?

Links in language strings?

Hi All,

 

Can I put a link in a language srting. I tried normal html, but it didn't work - the whole string disappeared:

$string['notenrollable'] = 'This course is available to registered students only. Please click <a href="#">here</a> to register';

I also tried escaping the quotes with no effect:

$string['notenrollable'] = 'This course is available to registered students only. Please click <a href="/#"/>here</a> to register';

What do I need to do to get this working?

Many thanks

Ryan

Yes, you can put the link into the string. That is pretty common. The question is what function you used to display the string. The following should work:

$string['foobar'] = 'Click <a href="{$a}">here</a>';

in the strings files and then

echo get_string('foobar', 'mymodule', 'http://foo.bar');
