Marcan,

Nice to see a ML 2.0.6 version is out.

Vargr and I have been working on another 2.0.6 ML version, and will hopefully release it soon.

I'm currently working on a new language module, which will make it alot simpler for "non hackers" to have a multilangual site. Hacks will still be required, though.

It's good your version is out, then I have time to finish my work.

Regards,

Daigoro

I would be really interested in testing your version if you'd like !

However, If you test mine and you find bugs, please let me know !

Cheers !

To make a module work with this package, you have to hack your module... You need to know a bit of coding...

Basically, you have to passed the text strings into the TextSanitizer, something like this :

$variable = $myts->makeTareaData4Show($variable)

However, like i said in the readme file, if there's some demands for other module, I'll do them when I have enough time (or enought demands !!!

)

Glad to hear you like it !

Absolutely ! Go to

Administration Menu > System Admin > Modules

and rename your modules in the proper way. For example, the Web Links module should have a name like this :

[fr]Liens Webs[fr][en]Web Links[/en]

That's it !

Each text strings that you want translated have to passed by the TextSanitizer.

Here's an example from the MyDownloads module (mydownloads/index.php, line 40)

Quote:

while($myrow = xoopsDB->fetchArray($result)) {
$title = $myts->makeTboxData4Show($myrow['title']);
}

So, for each row, the $title is passed through the TextSanitizer ($myts->makeTboxData4Show($variable))

However, before calling $myts, you have to make sure that an instance of $myts was previously created. For example, in the mydownloads/index.php, at line 31, you can see this :

Quote:

$myts =& MyTextSanitizer::getInstance(); // MyTextSanitizer object

With the multilanguage hack, if you pass a variable through the textsanitizer, it keeps only the text of the selected language.

For example, if english is selected, this :

Quote:

$myts->makeTboxData4Show("[fr]Texte en français[/fr][en]Some english text[/en]")

would return
Quote:

Some english text

Is it more clear?

This looks to be very useful for my site. Even though my users are mostley local to Ontario we are a mixed bunch of native languages. I've asked my users if I should offer this mod (hack).

A quick test shows me that the newbb private forum hack has a conflict with the functions.php of this hack so I've posted in that thread too. I would need both hacks.

I'm looking forward to seeing the development continue.

I also checked this and found that in the multilanguage package the file modules/newbb/functions.php is exactly identical to the one in the official 2.0.6 distribution. You can then overwrite the file by the one in your newbb hack.

It should work !

Keep me inform thought

Just one issue... I get an error if I switch language from inside newbb. "forum not selected...". OK if done before the forums. That shouldn't be too difficult to find..

I've tried your multilanguage hack and it works great!

I have a couple of exceptions that maybe you can help me with, before I launch an attack on the code. The title of recents comments block doesn't get translated please check

http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~big/modules/news/index.php?&sel_lang=english

I'm also having troubles with the disclaimer message in the registration form.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for an excellent hack!

Hi, the version 1.2 of the hack will correct both of these issues, along with other little bugs I've found. If you can wait until then... I will be issuing version 1.2 by the end of the week !

Thank you for your interest in this hack !

I am new to XOOPS and I was wondering if the XOOPS core team will adopt the changes in 2.0.7 so XOOPS will be multi-lingual from the start. This would be VERY helpful.
