I am now working on a site with cmsms mle 1.2 with two (prepared for three) languages: en_US, de_AT and fr_FR.
Most things are working fine. But there are four important questions, for which I didn't find a solution at the board:
My first suggestion:
copy de_DE folder translations to de_AT and change the (few?) items in lang php from DE to AT
1.) (Important)The footer is not stored and not displayed except in the default language of my site - this was en_US. The entries in the htmlblobs table are existing. When I fill the table cells manually, the other footers are also not displayed on the site, but then in the editor. But there is a message from the archiver module, when I try to change/apply them:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in D:\www\htdocs\maklad\modules\Archiver\Archiver.module.php on line 309 ".
Any suggestions ?
- Are you sure on htmlblobs table?
Look for table property
here- For check, uninstall Archiver module (in Admin area)
- In admin Global Content you look right?
2.) (Important) I want to add different news to every language site (they will be the same but manually translated). How can I (simple) add support for this functionality ?
Read this3.) (less important) I want to display the language icons in different colors for the active/inactive pages. I use no flags but text-images "En" "De" "Fr".
How can I force the {lang} tag to display alternative images for the active language ?
Substitute plugins/function.lang.php with this attach (drop .mpg extension):
- add class parameter in lang plugin
- add text parameter in lang plugin (
request)
required a update to config_lang.php - view attach
- add urlparam parameter in lang plugin (
request)
4.) (important) How can I prevent the section Header Content type from switching to Level 1 when clicked ? As I have a drop down css menu, I want it to do nothing when clicked. (Or, alternatively, bringing up the submenu tree when javascript is switched off in IE)
I don't understand much, try to post in layout section forum
