I've put my site on-hold till the multi-language package comes out since there is just too much hardcoding, and correcting that hardcoding involved.

I look forward to the ML pack. I hope it will be available soon

The authors of it are kindly asked to post it here (or with instructions how to get it).

Thanks for the instructions. I actually know that already since that is the case with all such systems. The problem is that usually these strings are called from one file and are defined in language files. That's easy to modify and I can do that with no fuss.

If you take a look at the Contact module files, however, you'll see that they are not so easily configured. I believe I added the string to the template file and updated the module but I only got the string displayed, not the actual text defined in the language files. If I enter - hardcode - normal text in the file, it gets displayed but I'd really need that to work multilingual.

I might have called the string incorrectly; I used several types of calling it. I took a look at other files and copy-pasted those, modified that, and it still didn't work. Please take a look at this particular module and try to advise which file needs modifying and how to call the language variable.

Please help - I'm still confused here

I've done that but the problem is that I don't know how (and in which file) to call it.

I just switched to XOOPS (from Nuke) and I need to adjust

Contact module hack

I have reaally a simple wish but I can't figure it out by myself.

I'd like to tweak the standard Contact module that comes with Xoops. All I want is to display additional information (instructions and alternate ways of contacting) below the form. If I simply edit the templates/contact_contactusform.html I get the desired result BUT I'd like to offer that information in two languages - depending on the language selected by the user.

That's where it gets trickier. It seems that I cannot call a translation directly from that file. I might also be wrong. I'd really appreciate if someone helps me out here.

Hello.

I've installed the module and tweaked the include/common.php file, and it works great. If I turn on debugging feature, though, I get this message displayed:

Quote:

Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: sel_lang in file modules/language/common/functions.php line 2

Any idea what that is all about?

One more...

If I turn on the 'site closed' function, I get this displayed:


Warning [PHP]: fopen("/MY_PATH/cache/db%3Asystem_siteclosed.html", "r") - No such file or directory in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1998

Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: xoops_sitename in file templates_c/db%3Asystem_siteclosed.html line 12

OK I do know that I can turn them off (and when the new site will be ready for public I will do that) but I really do want to eliminate any problems first...

I also got the following messages displayed and I'd like to get rid of them so I can troubleshoot the real problems later.

I think very highly of Xoops. I was using PhpNuke before, and now I'm trying to adapt to Xoops.

Xoops indeed has better functionality, but lacks multi-language support. I think you guys are doing a great job and I'll stard hardcoding the files using this forum topic.

Thank you for sharing this, and I would like to urge the developers to at least offer multi-language versions of XOOPS in the future, if not switching completely to this functionality.

I could hardly say I'm a newby when it comes to hardcoding modules and other files, but I have to admit that this kind of tweaking certainly requires a lot of energy and attention.

My congratulations and thanks to the brave and bright people who started coding this
