Steve, any updates on the way, I’m about to start a new site?

Best wishes to you and your family,

Yesterday I discovered this great plugin, but now I have just one problem. How can I switch between the languages of my textpattern installation? I’ve put in a page this: <txp:l10n_lang_list/>, and I obtain the languages of my installation, but the problem is that the links are on folder which don’t exist, like /txp/en/txp, when I have only a folder /txp/…

I’m using a local installation of XAMPP on windows and I’m thinking about that the problem is that I must create another folder or the wizard must create himself this another folder, but I don’t find any solution. Can anybody help me with this problem?

Maybe there is a way to pass the language as a parameter, maybe http://localhost/txp/index.php?lang=en-gb or something like this. Please help me! I’m getting crazy!

When I remove the tag from the default template, it works normally.

That’s the right thing to do. The tag isn’t necessary anymore.
It was used as a pagewrapper-tag in earlier versions

Thanks a lot

i have the same problem as frangarcia:

“…<txp:l10n_lang_list/>, and I obtain the languages of my installation, but the problem is that the links are on folder which don’t exist, like /txp/en/txp, when I have only a folder /txp/… “

is there any solution?

You don’t seem to understand how TXP works. The URL mapping is done internally and relies on basic mod_rewrite rules.

There is no Folder named en , and there must not be one, since txp isn’t serving static pages from Folders.

Yes marios, I was hopping something like this, but the file .htaccess is unmodified and my local server (as I said under windows) didn’t change. Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong? Or maybe can anybody send me an example file of .htaccess?

Yes Bender, we have same problem. With new revision txp is pdf and txt correct, but word or open office format is with mlp pack still problem.

Yes, a default htaccess file ( That comes with a download from the TXP frontpage ) works fine. I have been using it both served from windows and mac os UNIX. (For an Apache 2.2 version)

Here are the contents:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
 RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
 RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0

If I’m not entirely wrong right now, on windows, if that doesn’t work,may be you need to change it, so it looks like that, depending on httpd.conf file contents:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
 RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
 RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
#php_value register_globals 0

NOTE: the .htaccess file must go in the root directory of your local Site project. So, If I test mymlpexample.dev, which is in a Site root folder of dev_mymlpexample, then this file must go there, if you don’t have it yet.

Thanks a lot marios, but I think that the problem was another one. I didn’t have the mod_rewrite module of apache, so it couldn’t work fine. But now it works fine and it’s great!

marios · 2007-04-30 14:26:27

Yes, of course. All that applies only if mod_rewrite is enabled in the httpd.conf configuration file.
I forget to mention it, because the preconpiled Apache packages that I am using , now have this enabled by default, so there is almost nothing to configure for a standard setup, except the virtual host containers.

Tip: You can test against, if mod_rewrite is enabled, right from within the admin panel, if you are not sure:

Go to admin> diagnostics
change the radio select dropdown below the Diagnostics info to high detail mode.
when you scroll down, you will find a list, with all the Apache modules installed.
When you don’t see mod_rewrite listed there, that means, that the mod_rewrite module is not enabled ,and you have to unhash the corresponding line in httpd.conf

Also: In all cases, you will see a clean_url_data failed message. You can just ignore this message.
Please, check also, that you are not mistakenly using messy URL mode under admin>prefs.

Sometimes, also you want to clear your browser cache, in your initial setup/testing stages, if you experience unexpected Error pages.

regards, marios
