PLEASE CLICK THE INSTALL BUTTON IF INSTALLED!


Hallo,

the vB3 offers the chance to have multi languages, but at the moment it is unfortunally only for registred / logged-in users possible to select a language. Guests / not logged-in users will see always the default language.


With this modification you can offer your guests / not-logged-in users an option to select a language, so they can see the forum and the registration in the selected language. Further the selected language will be set during the registratin as default for the new user.


Short-description

Language-Selection for not logged-in users


Requirements
  • vB3 RC1 or higher (Tested up to 3.0.7) NOTE !! For installation on 3.0.8 or above read this posting !! Thanks to Khashyar for finding this change !
  • Of cource more than one installed language, otherwise this modification make no sense
Installationtime

about 5 minutes


The use of this modification is as always at your own risk !

Update 05. January 2004 (added version 2)

Update 09. March 2004 (added version 3)

Update 27. March 2004: Tested in 3.0.0 Gold



Version 1:

In this version you have to enter for each language a menue-entry manually

Version 2:

This version detects the selectable languages automaticly and the menue-entries are created automaticly too. To get the menue-entries, the function "Use DHTML Popup Menus" must be activated. This version has an additional query with each page-call. If you don't like this, use version 1.

Version 3:

This version is based on version 1, but it detects the browser-language automatic and shows the board in the language of the user. This automatic-detection of the user-language was realised by WildChild. Thanks for this extension of my hack. Note the difference to my version 2: My Version 2 detects the installed languages automatic, version 3 detects the language which is set in the users browser !



Note: A german version of the installation-instructions you will find here at vbulletin-germany.com

Yes, I have written a soloution for that, because a german user asked me the same. I will post it this afternoon here.

But can you tell me for what this make sense ? Which user switches the language after he selected it once ?

(I am using it only in my local test-board so I can check the translations without always going the long way via the user-settings).

O.k., here we go:

To change the language use the following line in the navbar template:

PHP Code:
 <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="changelanguage.php?$session[sessionurl]languageid=1">Name of language 1</a></td></tr
<
tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="changelanguage.php?$session[sessionurl]languageid=2">Name of language 2</a></td></tr

Add to the phrasegroup Front-End Redirect Messages the following 2 phrases:

Varname: changelanguage
Text: Boardlanguage was changed

Varname: nochangelanguage
Text: Language was not changed


Save the changelanguage.php I have attached in the main board directory (where you have your index.php).

That's all.



Best Regards

J?rg

Hello,

Thanks for the hack.

Any idea why I might be getting this error on line 76?

Code:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /home/username/public_html/forums/changelanguage.php on line 76
Here is the code from line 75 to line 79. Is there anything missing or incorrect here?

Code:
	if (($check_language == '')  or ($check_language[
	{
		$url = "$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]";
		eval(print_standard_redirect('nochangelanguage'));
	}
Thanks.

Sorry, don't know how this garbage came into the changelanguge.php

I have corrected the attachment.

You can solve the problem like this:

Change this line
PHP Code:
 if (($check_language == '') or ($check_language
to this

PHP Code:
 if ($check_language == ''

Hi Joerg,

many thanks for this Hack.

I installed it and via a condition in the header template only GUESTS have the choice. This is working on all pages at not only on forumhome. Its also working on the vbAdvance Portal page...

Great hack, thanks for your efforts. I had to do a little monkeying around with it since I am using VBA CMPS and the main index resides outside the forums directory.

However with a few minor modifications and some conditionals it is now working for both registered/logged in users as well as for guests from both the forum home as well as from VBA CMPS home page.

Thanks again.

You need only to install one of the versions.


The different is:

Version 1:
You must define a new navbar-menue-item everytime you install a new language and want to make it selectable in the navbar

Version 2:
The installed and selectable languages are detected automatic, no need to add new navbar-item when a new language is installed

Version 3:
One of your languages is the default-language. Every visitor who comes first time to your board will see the board in this default-language. Version 3 detects the language-settings of the users browser and automatic set the vB-language to this language if available. Example: Default is English, you have installed English, German, French, Spanish. A user with French language-setting in browser come first time to your board, he will see it in French. No need for him to select the language of your board manually.

I hope your confusion is gone now

Best regards

J?rg
