I dis-agree with one name flag. How to change...?

3rd time - which one? :)

Macedonia --> FYROM

There is no such text for any flag like Macedonia, but there is Macedonian which is name of language, and it is appropriate :)

The language that you have named as Macedonian is Skopian.The flag that you named as Makedonian is Skopia or FYROM. The Makedonia is one and is in Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tell this Google :) Google claims that it is Macedonian (go to Google translations). Also flag is not from Skopia or FYROM but Republic of Macedonia where according to WIKI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_language) Macedonian is official language :)

I will say but i will remove this flag from mod......

In the past few days I was encouraged by some of honest users, which keep credit link or gave donation, to not make any new official releases because of dishonest of some forum owners which are using this mod illegal after removing credit link.

In every release, from the very beginning, code for credit link had comment telling that you are not allowed to remove it without donation. Every one who did it is using this mod illegally and made it knowingly, because there is no possibility to remove credit link not seeing this restriction.

I believe that some people just didn't realize or didn't thought that what they did is just software piracy. So I will made new official releases (making SEO translation links working for every one) and in the same time I want those people to realize that removing credit link without donation is software piracy. Thats why I used more words this time to describe same issue. And those words are making LICENSE AGREEMENT. If you use this mod you agree for conditions below. If you don't agree - simply don't use it.

LICENSE AGREEMENT - using this mod you agree for those conditions:
- you are NOT allowed to remove credit link unless you donate NLP-er https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=267979
- removing credit link without donating NLP-er means BREAKING LICENSE AGREEMENT and you lose your rights to use this mod
- using it after that is illegal, it is software PIRACY and it will be notified in vBulletin community and other places, including appropriate government/police units in your country
- author of this mod reserves the right to change the terms of this license agreement at any time. Failure to receive notification of a change does not make those changes invalid. A current copy of this license is and will be available in mod description.

To all who already donate: please PM me your forum links, so I will be able to include your forum link in Already donated section, so it will be clear that you removed credit link legally :)

To others who removed credit link breaking restriction included in code - just made donation or update mod (even with same version) to restore credit link :)

Thanks a lot to all :)

You can disable it if you don't want to use Macedonian translations, or just override flag by some other gif :)

Hi, NLP-er!
You made a very interesting hack, Thanks.

I have a question:
in your htaccess:
may be
or no?

RedHacker,

This mod is a lanaguge translation mod, not a political translation mod.

The two letter country code for Macedonian is MK.

Greece has disputed the use of the country name Macedonia and has pushed for the country name Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), however the flag remains the same.

Hence, if you want to change the mod, you would need to find every occurrence of the phrase Macedonia and change it to FYROM. The name of the language, Macedonian would remain the same; however you can easily change the country name to FYROM if you wish.

Or, you could request that NLP-er add an option in the mod to use the country name FYROM instead of Macedonia, which he could easily do, since this is a minor technical issue, but a seemingly major issue for the government of Greece.

Also, FWIW,

Microsoft references the Macedonian language, MK, as follows:

Right now it is working :)
Will it work with this change - you can test it, since it is working I think that it is loose of time :)

Once again mod doesn't and never did use country name Macedonia.

Mod is not using country names at all :D It uses languages names. One country can have several languages, one language can be used in several countries. MOD IS NOT USING COUNTRY NAMES... it is using languages names :)

I disable this flag with language and I am OK

2.3.0 RELEASED! and finally closed beta stage :)

What's new:
- Supports translation SEO links even without vbSEO :D:D:D
- Translate Google Maps (configurable) - see http://www.forum.simple-nlp.pl/infor...ogle-maps.html for demo
- Little optimizations (i.e. included only necessary things for not translated pages)
- Supports several cache cleaning strategies (optimization for really big forums) and automatically disables cache for cleaning time to avoid read/write conflicts

Hi all. New release allows to use SEO links for every one!!! Even for those without vbSEO. I testes it on 2 test forums without vbSEO - 1 with URL going straigh to forum and 1 with subdirectory in url. It's working in booth cases.

Thats why I think that SEO links should finally work for forums with vbSEO and subdirectory in URL. Not tested in this configuration - who reads this topic knows why :p (but I know that SEO links are working for forums with subdirectory and without vbSEO) - so I will appreciate confirmation does it works on such forums or not :)

I hope that I don't ask for too much and having so many great users who asked for this functionality, there will be at least one cool guy/girl who let me know about this :p

EDIT: CONFIRMED!!! :D:D:D

Also for those where cache cleaning takes too long - you can create those indexes:
NOTE:
- If you made first installation - this is already included. Only those who made update can (but don't have to) create those indxes manually
- Those indexes can help or not (even can make it worst) it depends from your mysql version and Cache TTL setting. mySQL can choose to not use indexes if too much data is selected by where clause - in this case those indexes will made things worst because those will have to be updated during inserts and deletes. If you don't understood what I'm writing here it means that most probably you can ignore it :) Those who have to will understand :D
- When you already have filled cache, then creation of index can take long time (from minutes even to hours - depending of number of rows). So if you want create it then:
1. disable cache for this time
2. (optional) delete whole cache - in this case indexes will be made immediately. You can delete cache data manually (SQL) or change clearing strategy to last one, trigger clearing task manually (in scheduled task), and going back to normal clearing strategy.
3. create indexes (if you didn't clear cache, then create indexes one by one)
4. remember to turn on cache again

ENJOY! :D:up:

NLP-er, when is version 3 coming out? :D

When it will be ready :D ;)

Right now I'm waiting to see does this mod is cool enough to get MOM :cool:

Anyone tested this yet?

I get this Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL when I tried to use with vBSEO and click on a flag. Nothing is wrong with the database as I can browse the site normally without clicking the flag.

I have set the settings to use vBSEO correctly in my admincp:
Link type: VBSEO_URI
Forum dir: /forum
Translation Links Type: Create URL's according to SEO link consensus (i.e. '/en/address')

I have already made the necessary changes to .htaccess:
I will PM you with access. Only guests have access to the flag until it's fixed.

Why don't you test it - it is just change of one option and few lines to add in .htaccess. To disable it is only to change the option to default. Piece of cake :)

Good Idea - PM me detail I will check it :)

Yes, you are right. BUT, the mod does use country flags and flags are associated with countries, so some people will naturally equate a country flag with a country name ;)

You have absolutely right.

So like I wrote before - it is enough to overwrite gif file or disable translation for that language.

I CONFIRM that mod is finally working with SEO links on forums with vbSEO and subdirectory in URL :D

Still - there is new issue with vbSEO 3.3.1 where error occurs for translation on main page. Thanks to dai-kun I'm working right now on his forum, to solve this issue :)

Of course on vbSEO 3.3.0 everything is working fine :)

EDIT: false alarm ;) There is one issue, but I'm working on it.

EDIT 2: I already have solution for SEO links in forums with vbSEO and subdirectory in URL, but I hold with production till I found solution or 2nd issue (vbSEO 3.3.1)

Has anyone tried this mod with TfSEO 2.0 ?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173738

Maybe ask author of mod does he want to make his product better by making it compatible with vBET :)

Right now I want to close all the issues with actual functionality, get confirmation that it is OK and then I can work on new ones (especially 3.0.0 :D)

2.3.1 RELEASED

Confirmed working SEO links on forums with vbSEO and subdirectory in URL!!! (required additional step for .htaccess file - see in first post)

Confirmed working with vbSEO 3.3.1

Also Some little bug fixes.

Finally SEO links are working for everyone :) If you will have any trouble with making translations working - please before you ask about anything go to first post where is FAQ. And most important FALLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. I just spend 2 nights fighting with vbSEO 3.3.1 on some guy forum, but there was no problem with new vbSEO at all. I just lose 2 days trying to find bug only because some guy changed mod .htaccess rules which have to be only copied and he claimed that problem is with new vbSEO. And at this particular moment I have enough :)

So enjoy the new version. Hopefully without any surprises. And if you manage any issues making translations working first make this effort and read the FAQ fallowing the instructions. And without making it several times and being absolutely sure that you have everything set appropriately, please do not bother me :) Because my first answers will be - read the FAQ, also read and set all options for mod appropriately.

I should start charging people who claim that did everything like is written, and then occurs than they didn't. It would be fast way to became millionaire ;):D:D:D

Seems like viewing member profile is not working yet.

It gives this url:

Will look at this.

good hack....

whenever i use it, i.e., click on a flag i get this error message at top of page:

Warning: mysql_ping() [function.mysql-ping]: Access denied for user '---------'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions.php on line XXX

Warning: mysql_ping() [function.mysql-ping]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions.php on line XXX

what should i do? kmt

Is this update worth the update from our current version? 2.2.0 :)

NLP-er mentioned:

Already planned for 3.0.0

• - Make in vB real world wide community without language barriers
• - Possibility to write posts in different languages (automatically translated to forum language, remembering original text, refreshing translation for better quality, etc.)
• - Language selection as option on sign up
• - RSS for multilanguage
• - Lot, lot more on my private TODO list

Excellent. Great work!

Please read version history in mod description and decide :)

Strange... It looks like on your server mysql_ping is not using connection created by vbulletin.

Just checking this and looking for solution for you :)

Try this (checked on my board an is safe, but need your confirmation does it solves the issue - if yes then it will be included in official release):
1. find in /includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions.php line with code
2. change it to this one:
Please give me confirmation does this solves the issue :)

NLP-er, do we have to uploads the file vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php file even if we do not run vBSEO?

It is used only with vbSEO and SEO translation links, and it is called only by .htaccess rules.

So in your case it is not needed :)

Mod is working fine. The problem exists because of vbSEO 3.3.1. bug. vbSEO don't parses URLs in main page if index.php is in URL. And when you translate main page then index.php is in URL (on server side).What you wrote it not what gives this mod. Look carefully on link on your page it is generated fine. This what you included - this is URL after redirection by vbSEO, what happens because of mentioned error (when links will be generated good by vbSEO this issue disappears).

I just reported it - see:
http://www.vbseo.com/f3/not-parsed-l...73/#post236094

Hello. Somebody wrote in one post that Google requests to set link to Google if you want to use translation API. I'm just reading those conditions (http://code.google.com/intl/pl-PL/ap...age/terms.html) and I cannot find such condition (I was looking by URL and link words).

So the question is - is it really needed? If yes where exactly it is written? Is it enough to only write that it is Google translation (without URL)? Or maybe even that is not needed...

Somebody knows?
