Hello Alby,

I know without having tested it that you have made a good job with MLE because I read posts from happy users. But there are two topics I'm unconfortable about :
1-when you have first released the ML extension, you have clearly stated that you have no time to support it. Are MLE users at risk to rely solely on you to fix bugs in MLE ?
2-how is MLE upgradable to (to-be-released) official (multilingual) CMSms v2 ? The core is changing fast so I fear for the upgrade path of the MLE users.

This is a friendly message, please don't read it as a personal offense, you have demonstrated your commitment to support MLE users so far by releasing the ML extension closely to the official version and by answering to support requests in the forum at least.

As I have read no code, may be I'm overfearing an inexistent problem ?

MLE is a very "simple" hack 

For my istitutional sites I must to have multilingual and I remember that when I saw the simplicity (for final user) of the first version of katon I love this.
The problem, however, was that it was not easy to mantain.

First step was to simplify this to make trivial updates of core and second step I wanted a working "normal" version for use again in other site (for testing).
The hard work was in adjust few variables and routines and if you look in diff file, there are a few files only in /admin and /lib/classes (in 1.2.X there are 4-5 files more for extending functionality)

But this fact becomes simple for update: I check svn for diff version of core and apply again relative patch

If you look in old topic, many problem are in install and I drop this for avoid sql problem (you must pay attention in sql query for 3-5 fields in two tables only)

Ok, my message was more "conservative" (remember that I work on it alone although katon promised that return) that "real"

In September I look in 2.0 schema (I look last version very soon) and the differences was very small and with few sql queries was easy to transport in the new version.
Perhaps I am optimist but I do not see big problems on update to 2.0 (I have to do I too  )

So I was overfearing. Thank you for your answer.

Alby, i heard about and experienced a problem with w3c validator giving out 404 errors, basically any navigator without cookie control gets 404 (if i'm not mistaking), is there a workaround ? i heard this being discussed for previous versions of MLE, and references to a file (on reply #30) that i couldn't find. ..

i have now upgraded 1.2.2, i thought this would solve my life.. . :]

i actually am noticing this:

- http://postimpressionnisme.net/ = 404 on some browsers and http://validator.w3.org/
with error: /users/user9967/sites/postimpressionnisme.net/plugins/function.lang.php on line 40

http://www.postimpressionnisme.net/ = ok for browsing (depends on nav/sys), but still 404 on http://validator.w3.org/

funny thing is i got this on the admin page:
Check DEFAULT_LANG and language array sintax in config_lang.php!

i know i played around with it trying to make everything work, i'll have to check into this tonight.

however if you have any ideas i'd be so glad. . ..
(btw, i upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2.1 to 1.2.2)


as usual, i like to include a thank you for you work, please know that it is very much appreciated over here, and you have even helped me alot via this forum, if i can return any favours please tell me.

Display this error when you have not default_cms_language in user preferences or DEFAULT_LANG mistake with one of KEYS (LOCALE or LABEL) of config_lang.php (view config_lang.php.label for example)
IMPORTANT: delete mle and mle_admin cookies if you change KEYS of config_lang.php

If you extended MLE, reade README.FIRST.extended file

The problem was for a manual flag links (same {lang}) and not automatic
In {lang} there is same code of function GetURL of core CMSMS

No, but backup YES

Alby

thank you alby, i then noticed the red warning

IMPORTANT: delete mle and mle_admin cookies if you change KEYS of config_lang.php

and that part actually helped, plus a little cleaning up on the config_lang.php (i thought for some reason that the syntax changed, but actually just some options that can be added) and all went well, no more 404 and no more "sintax" errors..  ..

p.s. i'm thinking of a way to email you a beer.. . .  : ]
