Website title & email
ImpressPages provides a global setting to store website's title and email. Both values can be set in Config section of admin. This is how you can get these values in PHP
<?php
$websiteTitle = ipGetOptionLang('Config.websiteTitle');
$websiteEmail = ipGetOptionLang('Config.websiteEmail');
You can set different values for each language. The function returns correct value depending on the language of currently rendered page. Pass language code as a second parameter to get specific language value
<?php
$websiteTitle = ipGetOptionLang('Config.websiteTitle', 'en');
$websiteEmail = ipGetOptionLang('Config.websiteEmail', 'en');
