Default language for Modules should be the "default frontend language" if avail

[RonnyK]

Why aren't the modules looking at the "default language for frontend" in Global Settings as a first language. I would like the modules to check there first, instead of having to explicitly adding "lang=...." to every module-calling. Changing the language would than be easier as well. If that language is not available in the module/lang then it go to the current default (en_US).

I would agree with that as well, it would make it much easier and cleaner as well

I'm surprised your having difficulty.  I changed my default language in global settings to 'italian' the other day to test a reported bug in News, and the News summary showed up fine in italian, without a lang= parameter on the tag.

Sometimes has happened to me and, in version MLE, I have forced use of $gCms->current_language.

ATTENTION because $config['locale'] wins vs 'frontendlang'
In class.module.inc.php:

Code: Select all

$this->curlang = get_site_preference('frontendlang','');
if (isset($config['locale']) && $config['locale'] != '') {
    $this->curlang = $config['locale'];
}
