CMS Made Simple Forums

I have been working with CMSMS MLE for a client, and I wanted multi-lingual functionality in the search module. While I was at it, I enabled it to display a snippet of the page's content in the appropriate language. While I'm only using two languages (English and Spanish) this example may be useful to someone else. With the example, you will need to find the appropriate place in the code and enter the changes.

I'm using the Search module (version 1.5)

action.dosearch.php
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
line 81

$content =& $node->GetContent();
if (isset($content))
{
if($_GET['hl']=="es_MX")
{
$pageContent = $content->GetPropertyValue("content_es");
}
else
{
$pageContent = $content->GetPropertyValue("content_en");
}
$col->AddItem($content->Name(), $content->GetURL(), $pageContent, $result->fields['total_weight']);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
line 231 (close enough)

foreach( $results as $result )
{
$title = $result->title;
$txt = $result->urltxt;
$txt = strip_tags($txt);
$txt = substr($txt, 0, 300);
foreach( $words as $word )
{
$title = preg_replace('/('.$word.')/i', '$1', $title);
$txt = preg_replace('/('.$word.')/i', '$1', $txt);
}
$result->title = $title;
$result->urltxt = $txt;
$newresults[] = $result;
}

Tell me what you think!

Hey, looks very good, flyingbuttressman!! 

But a changed file could be overwritten with an upgrade. You will lose the changes...
Perhaps you could suggest this as a future request at the Forge. [ http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/ ]

Even though, very nice! Keep going

I had misunderstanding.
For changing labels use {..... lang=$lang} in your tag and/or use $mle_translation.key
