I am having some trouble adding I18N functionality to another plugin I'm using (user-login). I have previously hard-coded messages to the user etc, but would now like to add a language switching capability.

I decided to use I18N for this, and I followed the instructions here to be able to call e.g. i18n_r("user-login/REGISTER_MSG"). This works to a degree, but I am not able to switch between languages.

At first, everything was always English, confirmed by dumping $LANG to the screen. Then I decided to add $LANG = "nb_NO"; To my gsconfig.php file. This made everything Norwegian. The user-login plugin is using the language files I made in user-login/lang/ but I don't understand how to make the ?setlang=en/nb work with it.

Thanks for a great plugin. Hoping for a quick resolution.

The Front End User Plugin does not support the I18N plugin but relies on the $LANG variable.
Depending on how the Front End User Plugin works internally, you might have success with adding the following somewhere to the top of your template:

Code:

<?php global $language; $LANG = $language == 'nb' ? 'nb_NO' : 'en_US'; ?>

(of course this will not work, if the plugin loads the language texts before the template is executed)

I have tried adding this code in the header.php file that I use for the template, but the setlang functionality is still not working right with the user-login plugin. I have tried adding the code:

Code:

if (function_exists('i18n_load_texts')) {
    i18n_load_texts('user-login');
  } else {  
    i18n_merge('user-login', substr($LANG,0,2)) || i18n_merge('user-login', 'en');
  }

into the plugin file, but it still won't work correctly. In fact, it does work if I set the language using setlang and then navigate to a different page or refresh the login page. I have dug deeper into the code and found that $LANG does not change until after I navigate to a different page or rerun the same page, nor does $_SESSION['language']. I thought about setting $LANG = $language in the i18n_load_texts() function or something, but the $language variable is empty there for some reason.

I don't want to create a solution that is so hacky that I can't maintain the site...

i get this message when i want to add an user:

Frontend User 3.0

Hi,

To solve this problem, create a directory which name is "site-users" on the data directory (/data/site-users/).
Doing this, each user data created will be stored on it in a xml file.

Hope it help,

Simply enjoy get simple!

You have a few ways to accomplish this.

• 1. The Normal Way: Put the function in your template file.
  
• 2. Put the php code in a component and use the dynpages plugin to place the component in your page
  
• 3. If you want to only display the login form only on your homepage you could place somthing like the below coding into your template file:
  

Code:

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['id']) || $_GET['id'] == 'index')
{
    echo show_login_box();
}
?>

hi,

i had the sam idea but when i insert this in the source code "Edit Protected Message" nothing works

{% loginform %}

I see this on my frontend page: {% lwz_start %}

dynpages are installed....

That is because the dynpages checks the content of the page for components, not my plugins protected message node. There is currently no way to place the login form *inside* the actual protected message without editing the core plugin.

[FRAD]

ok thanks!! great job. It works very well for me!

NP, if you really feel it necessary to have the login form directly above or in between the protected message, let me know and I will instruct you on editing the plugin files.

Also if there is any capabilities you find would be useful, feel free to suggest them.

[roy_b8te]

Not sure why I cant add new users.
This is the error message returned for any user and configuration.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

What more than likely happened is the data/site-users directory was not created. Create the directory and it should work fine

[roy_b8te]

I can now create a new user in the Admin page but not from the live webpage.
I receive confirmation of new-user + login but see no new users in my list.
When I look in site-users I only see the user(s) created from Admin.

Thanks again for any insight.

Hrm seems like I spoke too soon.

Please turn on debug mode, attempt the front end user creation, and report your errors.

[roy_b8te]

Turned on Debug mode in gsconfig.php and tried another register.
The debug console comes up empty
but I do get this message directly on the User Management tab and directly on the login page.

Notice: Undefined variable: result in x:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx\plugins\user-login\class\Feul.php on line 343

../data/other/logs
[29-Mar-2012 21:29:34] PHP Notice: Undefined index: usernamec in x:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx\plugins\user-login\class\Feul.php on line 510

Your help is much appreciated.

[mikeh]

I forgot to add that I tried this on both online and local servers.
I'm going to try defining the var @ line 315

Code:

$result = '';

and see what happens.

Are you using a database or xml for the users storage?

[roy_b8te]

I tracked the problem down to a simple typeo in username var
located @ Feul.php on line 511.

Code:

$usrfile = strtolower($_POST['usernamec']); // removing the "c" at the end
            $usrfile = strtolower($_POST['username']); // works !

I'm now able to create new users on the web page but not in Admin.

[mikeh]

The post you changed was for the admin form not the front end form. I will look into the original issue tonight

[roy_b8te]

I tried again with a fresh download of GS3.1 and FEUL3.0 manual install on local and internet servers.
( local server [PHP: 5.3.8] online server [PHP 5.2.17] )


From the User Management tab I can create new users ( local + online servers ).


I add the lines of code to the template file.

Code:

<?php echo show_login_box(); ?>

                <?php echo welcome_message_login(); ?>

                <?php user_login_register(); ?>

I then try to create a new user from the web page ( online server ).


I receive the confirmation message.

I hope this full description helps with a possible solution.
Or can you tell me where the code is that names the xml file created from the web register new user form?

Thank you for your support.

Hi roy_b8te, hi mikeh...

The easiest is that you modify in user_login.php:

1) in function 'function user_login_register()' change everywhere is written $_POST['username'] by $_POST['usernamec'].
I think that there is 4: 3 at the first and other in form...

You do not change anything in Feul.php.

2) in 'function welcome_message_login()' there is other small bug, and link of logout is wrong:
//Display Logout Link
Change:
$logout_link = '<a href="'.$SITEURL.'?logout=yes" class="user-login-logout-link">Logout</a>';
by:
$logout_link = '<a href="'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'?logout=yes" class="user-login-logout-link">Logout</a>';

I am playing with this plugin because i am doing other plugin that will work with front-end users plugin

Regards.

[roy_b8te]

Thanks cumbe for your reply.
I tried everything you said but it only fixes adding users in the User Management page.
There are also $_POST['username'] found in Feul.php on lines: 789,774,771 & 513.
I tried switching these too. Same results.

[cumbe]

Hi,
line 513 must to put: $usrfile = strtolower($_POST['usernamec']);

the other lines do not changes.

[cumbe]

or better,
copy original Feul.php and does not change anyting here.

Only the changes in user_login.php.

[mikeh]

Version 3.1 Has Been Added To Extend
Thank you both for your assistance.
It turned out the problem was the $_POST['usernamec'] on line 525 of Feul.php shouldn't even have been there. There should be no posts in the class file as the variables are passed to the methods from user_login.php.

Changing $_POST['usernamec'] to $username fixed the problem.

I also fixed a few other bugs such the data/site-users directory not being created.
