Hello,
I'm sharing the Pipidae Forum for two websites. http://www.pipidae.de is german language and http://www.pipidae.net is english language. The board is under http://www.pipidae.org/cgi/phpBB3 . So I need to integrate two different navbars related to user_lang:

Installation:
1. create one XHTML 1.0 strict standard navbar per language. Call them:
phpbb_root/styles/prosilver/template/overall_navbar_de.html
phpbb_root/styles/prosilver/template/overall_navbar_en.html

More information - but use full URLs!!!: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=94 Step 1.

2. OPEN
phpbb_root/includes/functions.php
FIND

Code: Select all

		'T_STYLESHEET_NAME'		=> $user->theme['theme_name'],

AFTER, ADD

Code: Select all

		'L_DE'					=> ($user->data['user_lang'] == 'de') ? true : false,
		'L_EN'					=> ($user->data['user_lang'] == 'en') ? true : false,

3. OPEN
phpbb_root/includes/session.php
FIND

Code: Select all

		}

		// We include common language file here to not load it every time a custom language file is included

BEFORE, ADD

Code: Select all

			$this->data['user_lang'] = $this->lang_name;

4. OPEN
phpbb_root/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
FIND

Code: Select all

<body id="phpbb" class="section-{SCRIPT_NAME} {S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}">

AFTER, ADD

Code: Select all

<!-- IF L_DE -->
	<!-- INCLUDE overall_navbar_de.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

<!-- IF L_EN -->
	<!-- INCLUDE overall_navbar_en.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

It's a dirty solution. But I don't know a more comfortable solution.

Hello.
Can this navbar be used as the autodetect visitors browser language mod?
Under the same domain to change the language of the menu if installed?

it works, we use the forum menu so we have
done a small change, no html page for the menu just a menu-en.ini with the following code,

Code: Select all

			<ul class="linklist navlinks">
							<li class="icon-home"><a href="/" title="first page" accesskey="n">#</a>	
<li class="icon-chat"><a href="{U_INDEX}"title="of our community" accesskey="h">forum</a>
<li class="icon-chat"><a href="#" title="bla bla"  accesskey="c">chat</a>
				<li class="icon-ucp"><a href="#">who we are</a>
				<li class="icon-bump"><a href="#" title="Photo gallery"  "accesskey="l">gallery</a>	
</li><li class="icon-members"><a href="#" accesskey="u">the team</a>
<li class="icon-faq"><a href="# "title="with us"  accesskey="m">contact</a>	
<li class="icon-bump"><a href="#" title="to other websites"  "accesskey="l">links</a>	
</li>
</ul>

More information - but use full URLs!!!: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=94 Step 1.

What do you mean?
We use relative paths and not full urls for the menus, is that a problem?

Has your auto language detect mod any diference with this method?

The bug on language buttons not changing (cache issue?) exist and in your mod.

Our forum greek (default), english.
Thanks.

Hello panas,
the remarked original code in includes/session.php is not completed and not working well. So IMO it's very recommend to use my MOD.

If the realitive URLs are running it seems to be okay. :wink:

To use full URLs makes it only easier to get it running in some scenarios.
