Hi V@no, hello all,
I'm a 'new' user of 4images and found this fantastic MOD.
A long time ago the question about the sorting problem was discussed here:
nice thing - there's a lot to change, to have this feature working flawless 
But there's one little problem I could not solve on my own:
If you have a category and you set sorting by image name - it will absolutely mess up the sorting in there, if you rename some of the pictures to support more languages...
See here: http://photo.overlord.cz/categories.php?cat_id=38
How would it be possible to sort the images by the shown image name, not by the "whole image name" containing [czech] etc.?
For me the general problem of the sorting order (not only with this MOD) was relevant, so I tried to fix it.
I made a small addition in the function.php:
Original
function multilang($text, $show_first = 0, $remove = 0){
global $config;
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_dir']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
preg_match("#^(.*)\[".$config['language_list']."\]#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_dir_default']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
if ($show_first) {
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_list']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[2])) {
return $match[2];
}
}
if ($remove) {
return preg_replace("#\[".$config['language_list']."\](.*)#iDs", "", $text);
}
return $text;
}
Changed:
function multilang($text, $show_first = 0, $remove = 0){
global $config;
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_dir']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
preg_match("#\[default\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
preg_match("#^(.*)\[".$config['language_list']."\]#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_dir_default']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[1])) {
return $match[1];
}
if ($show_first) {
preg_match("#\[".$config['language_list']."\](.*)(\[\/?".$config['language_list']."\]|$)#iDUs", $text, $match);
if (!empty($match[2])) {
return $match[2];
}
}
if ($remove) {
return preg_replace("#\[".$config['language_list']."\](.*)#iDs", "", $text);
}
return $text;
}
This little change - the 'definition' of a [default] language tag, solved for me two problems:
1. I can sort my pictures.
2. I can define text in a default mode, which is taken, if the choosen language is not present in the text.
Example:
A picture with the name: [001][default]Picture[deutsch]Bild will be shown in any language
(except german) as 'Picture' and in german as 'Bild' and the prefix [001] is used to sort my pictures within a category.
As a sorting criteria you can use everything with '[]' at the beginning... of course execpt any installed language-name
I don' know, if anybody else will find this useful, but anyway
Cheers
HoSt
