Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)
Pardon my repost, had this in the wrong thread before....

Is there a way to call a custom field instead of page slug in the i18n navigation? For instance instead of...
get_i18n_navigation(return_page_slug()1,1);
have
get_i18n_navigation(return_custom_field('thumbnail')1,1);

If not, is there a way to grab the custom field data in the xml page via a data path in css to make the background image of the menu style change for each page?

Something like: {background-image: url($page, $thumbnail);}

I'm at the end of my rope on trying to automatically get rows of custom field thumbnails from child pages to show up on the parent page. It seems like it should be easy, but I am obviously over my head with the php and how the functions work. This is my last ditch effort, or I have to either do it manually (lame!) or go back to concrete5 (slow!)

Edit by Connie: I deleted your post in the other thread because this is not a general question ;=)

What do you want to achieve?
  • a different menu background on each page?
  • an image instead of the text for each menu item?
  • an image additional to the text on each menu item?
  • anything else?

Hello everyone!
mvlcek, I have a question about i18n function return_i18n_languages() and it's front-end class implementation getLanguages(). The fact is, that this function returns only 2 languages (best on first place), but for my plugin implementation I need all user created languages.
My suggestion is to make another function return_i18n_language_list() or to modify existing return_i18n_languages() so that it would return all languages.
The code could be taken from pages.php file lines ~ 24 - 35.

I18N version 2.5.4:
  • provides a new function return_i18n_available_languages($slug), which returns the available languages for the page determined by $slug or the whole site, if $slug is not given (@Zorato).
  • fixes the view links in the pages, navigation structure and page edit views in the administration (@intelx86).
  • danish translation (thanks @chrsand)

An image instead of text for each menu item. The image pulled from the custom field of each individual subpage. I want the effect to be rows of thumbnails that link to that one page's children.

Hey mvlcek,
For some reason when using FANCY URLS with the language variable, these rewrite rules seems to work.
I would recommend adding them to the documentation on your site.

Code:
RewriteRule ^/?$ en/ [R,L]   # redirect to language of your choice
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [QSA,L]   # handle index page without 'index'
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ en/ [R,L] # redirect to language of your choice
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(.*)$ $2?lang=$1 [QSA,DPI]    # replace with your languages
RewriteRule ^(.*);(\d+)([^\d/][^/]*)?/?$ $1$3?page=$2 [QSA,DPI]  # for use with pagify plugin
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]   # for everything else show home page

I believe these two sets of .htaccess rules are something you provided earlier in this thread.

dizarter Wrote:Thanks for the fix, but, switching languages on the index page still doesn't work.

You are probably missing a rule in .htaccess. Try this:
Code:
RewriteRule ^/?$ en/ [R,L]   # redirect to language of your choice
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [QSA,L]   # handle index page without 'index'
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
or that:
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ en/ [R,L] # redirect to language of your choice
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(.*)$ $2?lang=$1 [QSA,DPI]    # replace with your languages
RewriteRule ^(.*);(\d+)([^\d/][^/]*)?/?$ $1$3?page=$2 [QSA,DPI]  # for use with pagify plugin
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]   # for everything else show home page

dizarter Wrote:Now, another question - how to make visiting example.com auto-redirect to example.com/de/index?

See the examples above.
The default rules provided on your website when using %language%/%parent%/%slug%/ as a permalink structure switch the language code in the URL and the content switches languages on most pages. However, it doesn't work on the index page. Which returns a 404 when you use the language changer function: <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(return_i18n_lang_url('de')); ?>">In deutsch</a>
I am using the rules from your site here. http://yuritopia.info/t/en/hello-world/
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
Thus, it might be a good idea to provide this on your website. In terms of the difference between the first set and second set, I cannot say for sure. I am using this set on my site and it works fine for the index page:
Code:
RewriteRule ^/?$ en/ [R,L]   # redirect to language of your choice
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|es)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|es)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [QSA,L]   # handle index page without 'index'
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

Would it be possible to allow the url structure of the GS site to reflect the navigation structure of the I18N plugin?
page1
-page1-1
--page1-1-1 (http:www.site.com/page1/page1-1/page1-1-1)

No. The find_url function of GetSimple can't be overwritten and the alternative would be to patch GetSimple and all plugins that use URLs to pages. I don't think there is a practicable way to do it.

You seem to redirect each URL to the URL without parameter (click on the language link and the page displayed will have no ?lang=en), so probably the language parameter never reaches GetSimple.

Hi, I'm trying to re-write output for i18n navigation to match it with bootstrap structure:

Code:
<ul class="nav">
  <li class="dropdown">
    <a href="#"
          class="dropdown-toggle"
          data-toggle="dropdown">
          Account
          <b class="caret"></b>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
      ...
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

I'm no php-programmer and can't figure how to alter output of the parent link without messing with sub-menu links. For example, if I change line 358 in i18n_navigation.php from this:

Code:
$html .= '<li class="' . $classes . '"><a href="' . $href . '" title="' . htmlspecialchars(html_entity_decode($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . '">' . $text . '</a>';

To this:

Code:
$html .= '<li  class="' . $classes . '"><a class="dropdown-toggle"
          data-toggle="dropdown" href="' . $href . '" title="' . htmlspecialchars(html_entity_decode($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . '">' . $text . ' <b class="caret"></b></a>';

All links, parent and children, get altered.

Any advice how to re-write default output for navigation?

Again, I don't know php, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, just installed this new version and spotted the below error?

[Image: gs004.jpg]

Is the menu options moving the other options down and making it look like that, as at the moment its restricting the width of the edit area a fair bit?

This seems to be a problem of the Frontend users plugin (?)
Probably it has to be adjusted for 3.1

Hi,

I discover the beauty getsimple and one of the things is a simple implementation language version of the article as well as components, etc. Non English very well so I do not know if that's somewhere in this thread overlooked, but not how to resolve the translation page as well as a reference.

The SEO and search I find it better if I have contacts, such as pages for the English and Czech version of the url will look like this

www.site.com/cs/kontakt - for Czech or better yet just www.site.com/kontakt
www.site.com/en/contact - for English or better yet just www.site.com/contact

Hello everybody.
I spotted that sitemap.xml contains malformed addresses like:

Code:
http://www.example.com/gs/%language%/subcat/simplepage/
http://www.example.com/gs/%language%/simplepage2_de/
http://www.example.com/gs/%language%/index_fr/
http://www.example.com/gs/

instead of
Code:
http://www.example.com/gs/en/subcat/simplepage/
http://www.example.com/gs/de/simplepage2/
http://www.example.com/gs/fr/
http://www.example.com/gs/en/
