What is the best way to edit via admin a portion of text of a custom page with a custom .tpl file?

[DrLightman]

Let say I've created a new page "special-deals.php" with its controller and its "special-deals.tpl" file under my theme folder.

 

In this page I've some paragraphs of text that I need to change regulary, but I'm too lazy to go and edit the .tpl file every time so I'd like to have something in the administration area to do that.

 

What is the optimal/fastest/better way to accomplish that?

 

Thank you.

One way is to use the {l s='blablah'} notation, that way you can change the text via the translation tool

I agree with mohsart. If it's ina a module, be sure you also add mod='modulename' inbetween the brackets, or it won't show up in back office.

Actually it shows up (if you mean in the translation) but won't work, i.e. the translated string won't show up.

So yes, use {l s='Text' mod='module'} :-)
