Hi V@no,

tnx for that modification - but I can't find out what to change to have the category name shown in the right language in the admin category list...
a simple change of

Code: [Select]

$category_list .= ">".$lang['after']." ".multilang($cat_cache[$val]['cat_name'])."</option>\n";did not help and the result is still not what I expect

I'm confused..."admin category list"? what is it? in ACP? the screenshot u showed is dropdown on "regular" page...

for the categories names, u'll need search in files (mostly in includes/functions.php) for ['cat_name'] (which is only a part of a variable)
for example the full variable could look like: $cat_cache[$category_id]['cat_name'] or $cat_cache[$cat_id]['cat_name']

[martrix]

yep - if you edit a category in the ACP, you may choose if to change the cat into a subcategory - and the screenshot was this list.

I solved it - I missed to change cat_name variable in the get_category_dropdown_bits function in includes/functions.php
because I thought it will be somewhere in the admin-files

Well I mean as you have on your site http://gallery.vano.org
When i change the language to russian your catigories change to russian.
I have add all phpcode to all files functions.php and so on. But i don't know what todo next to proceed.
and get it work.

[V@no]

next, u'll need rename your categories, image names, etc

[martrix]

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.?

[V@no]

that actualy a side effect of this method...the sorting being made directly in mysql, but the language select is in php...I have no sollution for this...by the way this affects anything sorted by name with multilang support...

[martrix]

that's a pitty... the feature itself is great, but this is the only little flaw...

but I can't find out what to change to have the category name shown in the right language in the admin category list

Is your objective to change the following method - from admin/categories.php file :

echo "<img src=\"".ROOT_PATH."admin/images/folder.gif\" alt=\"\"><b><a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."categories.php?cat_id=".$cats['cat_id'])."\" target=\"_blank\">$cats['cat_name']."</a>\n</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";

to this :

Code: [Select]


echo "<img src=\"".ROOT_PATH."admin/images/folder.gif\" alt=\"\"><b><a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."categories.php?cat_id=".$cats['cat_id'])."\" target=\"_blank\">".multilang($cats['cat_name'])."</a>\n</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";


Then, at the : "savecat" action :

$cat_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name']));
$cat_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description']));

to :

Code: [Select]


$cat_name = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name'])));
$cat_description = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description'])));


Then :

show_input_row($lang['field_category_name'], "cat_name", "", $textinput_size);
show_textarea_row($lang['field_description_ext'], "cat_description", "", $textarea_size);

to :

Code: [Select]


show_input_row($lang['field_category_name'], multilang("cat_name"), "", $textinput_size);
show_textarea_row($lang['field_description_ext'], multilang("cat_description"), "", $textarea_size);


Then, at the : "updatecat" action :

$cat_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name']));
$cat_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description']));

to :

Code: [Select]


$cat_name = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name'])));
$cat_description = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description'])));


Then :

show_input_row($lang['field_category_name'], "cat_name", $result['cat_name'], $textinput_size);
show_textarea_row($lang['field_description_ext'], "cat_description", $result['cat_description'], $textarea_size);

to :

Code: [Select]


show_input_row($lang['field_category_name'], multilang("cat_name"), multilang($result['cat_name']), $textinput_size);
show_textarea_row($lang['field_description_ext'], multilang("cat_description"), multilang($result['cat_description']), $textarea_size);


?

If not, then my apologize in advance. However, it works great for me.

I get a strange error, since I've implemented this MOD...

When I upload a picture and add a quite long description in 3 languages (or just edit a long image description), I get this:

Processing image [czech]Hláška[english]MessageDialog[deutsch]Dialogfenster, ID 3333 ...
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: INSERT INTO 4images_wordmatch (image_id, word_id, name_match, desc_match, keys_match) SELECT DISTINCT 3333, word_id, 1, 0, 0 FROM 4images_wordlist WHERE word_text = 'dne'
Duplicate entry '3333-10029' for key 1

Duplicate entry '3333-10824' for key 1

Maybe it is just the case, when the image-description gets toooo long.
The description is saved without problems - so it seems to be an error somewhere 'round the search-index...

[TheOracle]

Strange. I can't reproduce this error. It doesn't even seem to be related with this addition.

Replace back :

$cat_name = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name'])));
$cat_description = multilang(un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description'])));

to :

Code: [Select]


$cat_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_name']));
$cat_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['cat_description']));


Will it work ?

There's also a line I forgot to comment out - in your admin/home.php file :

find :

".$row['cat_name']."

replace with :

Code: [Select]


".multilang($row['cat_name'])."



[Alex01]

What can I do that I can add texts in more languages to the picture when I upload it?

GER - PIC NAME
-----TEXT BOX------

ENG - PIC NAME
-----TEXT BOX------


Thanks
