Can a file include tag be used in a language file define?

I have quite a bit of text that I want to be read from a language file. I am really just replacing the text of an existing definition.

I wanted to place the text in an external html file and use and include tag <{include file='thefile.html'}> to call it. Can this be done? If so how? I tried a few methods but all failed.

What is the filetype of the language file you are using? If you are using a php file, your include statement would be
Quote:
include 'path/file.html';


The <{include file="path/file.html"}> would be for use in an html file.

Thanks for the suggestions. Both still print the code on the page instead of the text from the file. Here is exactly what I am doing

I am using Userpages module and want to add significant amount of text to language/main.php line 38
define("_USERPAGE_EMPTY_PAGE","Disclaimer and rules");

I don't think you can embed an "include" within a "define" value, unless there's a tricky way of doing it with "eval".

You could either (1) add the text in main.php:

define("_USERPAGE_EMPTY_PAGE","
text
more text
and more text
");

or (2) put it in a separate file other.php:


define("_USERPAGE_EMPTY_PAGE","
text
more text
and more text
...
");

?>


and change main.php:

#define("_USERPAGE_EMPTY_PAGE","Disclaimer and rules");
include('other.php');

Actually there is an easier way of doing this.

Do as dave says, and include your define files and use this smarty tag instead:
like

define('_MY_DEFINE', 'My Text');

and in the html file:

<{$smarty.const._MY_DEFINE}>
