Multilevel folder (URL) structure - arthur_a_keen - 2010-11-16
Multilevel folder structure.
Pls, can you advice how to create a multilevel URL structure?
For example it is a 5 language website and I need:
htttp://domain.com/news/news_name_here/ (English version)
and
htttp://domain.com/fr/news/news_name_here/ (French version)
htttp://domain.com/de/news/news_name_here/ (German version)
htttp://domain.com/it/news/news_name_here/ (Italian version)
htttp://domain.com/jp/news/news_name_here/ (Japanese version)
Is it possible with GetSimple?
Thank you!

It's a higher layer of abstraction, but it's possible with some modifications to create proper navigation system.
Just create 5 parent pages and name them accordingly to languages.
Create subpages in all language versions you need as siblings, and assign them a proper parent.

yojoe, it is impossible. It does not work this way in GetSimple.

Weird, I didn't have problems with this solution, nor couple other persons.
Browse threads in "Sites Using GetSimple" section and see some multilanguage websites on your own eyes.
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - arthur_a_keen - 2010-11-16
No matter if it is a multilingual or not multi
I talk about a multilevel URL structure: domain.com/folder_name/folder_name/folder_name/folder_name/
I do not understand how to make this in GetSimple. If you could show me an example
?

Ahhh, I thought you were wondering how to approach to create multilanguage sites.
GS is designed to work with a 2 lvl deep navigation (parents and their slugs).
If you'd like to go deeper, you'd have to hack navigation inside admin panel (navigation.php) , and then create own function to get parents/slugs and display menu.
Here's a good start: http://get-simple.info/forum/topic/107/building-a-multilevel-navigation/
tbh. I think you expect too much from this CMS, and it doesn't fit into the type of website you want to create.

yojoe, thank you. I will look at the topic http://get-simple.info/forum/topic/107/building-a-multilevel-navigation. Thank you

I have read the topics, installed Zegnat plugin but still do not see any changes in the admin's Page Management > Page Editing Mode.
I do not need to add any menu to the site. I just need to create pages with different URLs:
domain.com/news/news_title_here/
domain.com/de/news/news_title_here/
domain.com/fr/news/news_title_here/
...
Pls, anybody can tell me exactly how to do it?
Thank you.Pls look at the image attached here.

Several pages cannot have the same slug (the "news_title_here" part).
While it's not what you want, an easy way to do a multilingual site could be adding a prefix (or suffix) to non-English page slugs, like:
domain.com/news/news_title_here/
domain.com/news/de-news_title_here/
domain.com/news/fr-news_title_here/
...
(or .../news_title_here-de/ , etc. if you prefer a suffix)
PS Not sure, but maybe something could be done with mod_rewrite...

Carlos, thank you ...
I need exactly in form like this: domain.com/de/news/news_title_here/
My client (Law Firm) already has a website with such URLs and may be would like to use GetSimple for his site.
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - Carlos - 2010-11-17
Maybe....
Use page slugs like "news-item-1", "fr-news-item-1", "de-news-item-1", and get someone :-) to do a .htaccess rewriterule that passes the id parameter (slug) "fr-news-item-1" to GetSimple's index.php if the URL is domain.com/fr/news/news-item-1 (or domain.com/fr/news-item-1 , as for GS they're both valid)
I've no idea about mod_rewrite, so I don't know if this is difficult. Maybe easier (or safer) if your slugs are like "lgfr-news-item-1" ...?

Carlos, thank you

SOS!
May be there is a solution for my problem?
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - Zegnåt - 2010-11-18
There is no solution, GetSimple isn’t made for it. The core only supports 1 level of depth and currently there are no plans to change this.
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - arthur_a_keen - 2010-11-19
I see ...
Thank you
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - Carlos - 2010-11-20
Here's a quick 'n dirty patch to the core that may do the trick in this case...
Edit root index.php, around line 30-31 (GetSimple 2.03) insert this:
Code:
$langs=array('fr','de','it','jp');
foreach ($langs as $lg) {
if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/'.$lg.'/') !== false) {
$id = $lg.'-'.$id;
break;
}
}Create your pages with slugs like:
sample-page
fr-sample-page
de-sample-page
...
Now you can open (or link to) the e.g. French page with any of these URLs:
domain.com/fr/news/sample-page/ (the one you wanted)
domain.com/news/fr/sample-page/ (another possibility)
...or the "real" ones:
domain.com/news/fr-sample-page/
domain.com/index.php?id=fr-sample-page

Carlos, thank you very much for your help and your time. Unfortunately this solution is not quite acceptable in my case.

there is much simpler solution
domain.com - first
domain.com/en - en
domain.com/fr -fr
domain.com/ru -ru
Each one is a separate folder cms referring to others. clicking on the links to the languages just going through the cms
Or do it in subdomains
domain.com
en.domain.com
fr.domain.com
ru.domain.com

Your first solution is nice and simple, but you also have several user/passwords, one for each GS installation (unless you fix that with some script/patch/whatever, but then it's not so simple)
Subdomains could be an option for multi-language, but not a solution for what was asked for in this thread.
Multilevel folder (URL) structure - yojoe - 2010-12-13
I was thinking about the multilanguage functionality.
The simplest method is to raise nesting 3 lvls instead of two.
1st level would be a language container, and the rest would work as it's now, with 2 lvl nesting.
I don't see the sense of trying to mess with it before v2.04 goes gold, so I'll just hold on until then. It's a matter of creating new menu function, and this may be too hard for me to achieve :\
