[MOD] Language select

[V@no]

can you tell me the size for the gif file, 80*60 is good?

hehe whatever your eyes would enjoy

[V@no]

This little addon could help to someone who likes to add lots of new stuff into 4images (like myself ).
Sometimes I work with /english/main.php, add some new lang text, but dont have time or wish, at the moment, add/translate that text for the rest of languages I use on my site. So, this addon will use "default" language text to replace missing translation for other languages. Otherwise if there is missing some translation text, it will display just empty blank spaces.

Open /global.php
Find:

Code: [Select]

include(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$config['language_dir'].'/main.php');
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

$lang_eng = "";
if ($config['language_dir'] != $config['language_dir_default']) {
include(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$config['language_dir_default'].'/main.php');
$lang_eng = $lang;
}
include(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$config['language_dir'].'/main.php');
if ($lang_eng) {
foreach ($lang_eng as $key => $val) {
$lang[$key] = ($lang[$key]) ? $lang[$key] : $lang_eng[$key];
}
}

Hello,

On my  website, any of these two mods wants to run...   whyyyy??
who wants to help me ?  
Tanks !
Stephane.

[V@no]

who wants to help me ?  

I dont... unless u tell us what exactly the problem is.

[martrix]

wonderful feature Thank you V@no.

On my page the user does not stay on the "right" language if clicking on certain links - e.g.: "Delete lightbox" or any link with an extra template (in my case index.php?template=help or index.php?template=mods) and goes back to the default language
How could I arrange it, that the user stays on "his" language and is not sent back to default  :

[V@no]

that's because these links are hard-coded into templates, you will have to parse those links through $site_sess->url(); function and then register the result as tags. or u can try add php code directly in your template:

Code: [Select]

<a href="
<?php
global $site_sess;
echo $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=help");
?>
">Help</a>

[martrix]

Fast and reliable Thank you again V@no! It works fine.

I'll try to figure out, how to use the $site_sess->url() function, because I don't like PHP in the template files

[V@no]

u can look how its done in includes/page_header.php
just do same thing

[martrix]

OK. TNX 

BTW: what about the "Clear Lightbox" link?
That's made with some javascript, asking you, if you really want to clear the lightbox... (default 4images behaviur? I don't remember I've changed that) and if the user clears the lightbox, then he's redirected to the default language too 

[V@no]

I belive its in lightbox.html template...

[martrix]

yes it is

The strange thing on it is, that the url is running throught the $site_sess->url(); function, but somehow it looses the lang-attribute 
So: deleting lightbox causes going back to the main-language.

One more question: May I somehow save the lang-setting for the visitor - so he gets the same language when visiting the page next time (well, unless he doesn't delete his cookies) I guess I saw such a topic here on the forum, but can't re-find that

its possible, try this:
in global.php find:
4images v1.7:

Code: [Select]

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['l'])) {
  $l = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l'])) ? trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) : trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['l']);
  if (file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$l.'/main.php')) {
    $config['language_dir'] = $l;
  }
}
4images v1.7.x:

Code: [Select]

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['l'])) {
  $requested_l = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l'])) ? trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) : trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['l']);
  if ($requested_l != $config['language_dir'] && file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$requested_l.'/main.php')) {
    $l = $requested_l;
    $config['language_dir'] = $l;
  }
}
Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['l'])) {
  $requested_l = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l'])) ? trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) : trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['l']);
  if (!preg_match('#\.\.[\\\/]#', $requested_l) && file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$requested_l.'/main.php'))
  {
    if ($requested_l != $config['language_dir'])
    {
      $l = $requested_l;
    }
    $config['language_dir'] = $requested_l;
    setcookie('4images_lang', $requested_l, (time()+ 60 * 60 * 24 * 365), "/", "", 0);
  }
}
else
{
  if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']) && !preg_match('#\.\.[\\\/]#', $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']) && file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.trim($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']).'/main.php'))
  {
    $l = $config['language_dir'] = trim($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']);
  }
}
define("LANG_URL", !(isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']) && trim($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']) == $config['language_dir']));

And if u are using version B of this mod, then replace in includes/page_header.php

Code: [Select]

    $lang_select .= "<a class=\"lang\" href=\"".$lang_url.(preg_match("/english/i",$folder) ? "" : ((preg_match("/\?/", $lang_url) ? "&" : "?")."l=".$folder))."\" onMouseOver=\"(window.status='$folder'); return true\" onMouseOut=\"window.status=''; return true\"><img src=\"".TEMPLATE_PATH."/images/".$folder.".gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"".$folder."\"></a>&nbsp;";with this:

Code: [Select]

    $lang_select .= "<a class=\"lang\" href=\"".$lang_url.(preg_match("/\?/", $lang_url) ? "&" : "?")."l=".$folder."\" onMouseOver=\"(window.status='$folder'); return true\" onMouseOut=\"window.status=''; return true\"><img src=\"".TEMPLATE_PATH."/images/".$folder.".gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"".$folder."\"></a>&nbsp;";
If you don't want always see l=blah in the url, then in includes/sessions.php find:
    if (!empty($l)) {

Replace it with:
    if (!empty($l) && LANG_URL) {



P.S.
I've updated the code to include the security fix
For these who installed this mod before, you'll need find and replace this block in global.php:

Code: [Select]

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['l'])) {
  $l = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['l'])) ? trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['l']) : trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['l']);
  if (file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$l.'/main.php')) {
    $config['language_dir'] = $l;
    setcookie('4images_lang', $l, (time()+ 60 * 60 * 24 * 365), "/", "", 0);
  }
}
else
{
  if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang']) && file_exists(ROOT_PATH.'lang/'.$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang'].'/main.php'))
  {
    $l = $config['language_dir'] = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['4images_lang'];
  }
}

P.S. I havent test it though.

Then I will 

I'll report the results as soon as I try that out.
Thank you
