Debug: Show all template field names and labels (for each language)

Problem

You need an overview of all template fields and labels in every language in your setup

Solution

If you want to activate all languages, use this after your page-creation API script. In this real-life scenario I had to import product pages, hence the template-selector below.

// debug / info script:
// show all template field names and labels (for each language)
// proved to be essential to avoid chaos with almost 100 template fields in a product template

$template = $templates->get('product'); // example template

echo "<table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0>";
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<th>Field Name</th>";
  echo "<th>Field Label DE</th>"; // example languages
  echo "<th>Field Label EN</th>";
  echo "<th>Field Label US</th>";
  echo "<th>Field Label FR</th>";
  echo "</tr>";

foreach($template->fields as $field) {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $field->name . "</td>";
  $user->language = $languages->get("default");
  echo "<td>" . $fields->getLabel($field->name) . "</td>";
  $user->language = $languages->get("en");
  echo "<td>" . $fields->getLabel($field->name) . "</td>";
  $user->language = $languages->get("us");
  echo "<td>" . $fields->getLabel($field->name) . "</td>";
  $user->language = $languages->get("fr");
  echo "<td>" . $fields->getLabel($field->name) . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
