Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

fuls

thanks for the update. Good to get some positive confirmation!

Your first point could probably be done using mod_rewrite on apache and mapping fr.example.com/blahblah to example.com/fr/blahblah and de.example.com/foobah to example.com/de/foobah but I haven’t tried that myself.

Check out this post above and my reply for your second question. Personnally, I would recommend trying this out on a local copy of your site first until you are happy with the procedure. As usual, you should backup your site and the original txplib_db.php file first.

We are now aware of these two outstanding issues which we will be addressing…

  1. Snippet tab giving preload() error on php4 installations
  2. Install wizard sometimes giving an undefined index error when processing existing articles.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

thanks for the feedback. Looks like a problem with the sql queries on your system as most of those steps are changes to the DB.

  1. Do you get any other SQL errors when running the site without the MLP Pack? (For example, when adding a new article from the content>write tab?)
  2. Are you running with table prefixes on your tables in this installation?

Can you also contact me to get my email address and then send me the corresponding entries from your MySQL error log and your TxP’s diagnostics.

Thanks!

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

1. No, mysql errors did not notice.
2. I tried both with prefixes and without them.

You wrote…

Can i have one language as the main site (www.example.com), and a second one as subdomain (fr.example.com)/(de.example.com)?

Just to follow up on your previous post, looks like the very mapping I talked about in my previous reply to you has recently been discussed right here on the forum.

I haven’t yet tried this but it just went on the to-do list!

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

php4 users

Tentative fixes for your php4 installations. Try replacing these MLP Pack files in your /lib directory…

  1. l10n_base.php
  2. l10n_admin_classes.php

Please report success or failure here.

All

I’ll be travelling with my family again later today and probably won’t be able to connect for a few days — I’ll work on your issues as soon as I can!

On the first sight, it’s working very well. I couldn’t find any issue.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

This is absolutely fantastic, and very timely as I’m working on an English/Japanese site at the moment. So far we’ve found MLP to work very well and once we’re a little further on i’ll post a link for y’all to check out.

Two questions though:

  • Where’s the tip jar, so we can throw some cash your way for an awesome plugin?
  • One feature that would be very useful for us would be a link on the post that showed that particular post was available in another language. Not all posts on our site will be translated into Japanese, and likewise not all those on the Japanese page will make it into English. Different audiences need different content. So, for those posts that are available in both languages, it would be great if once the translation went live, the original post appended an additional link with something like “This post is also available in Japanese” with a link to the translated post.

Great work though, and here’s to more multi-lingual sites.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I’ve installed mlp on a new install of the 4.04, but the second installed language (French) was not picked up. Why would that be?

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I entered it manually and it worked. Steve, I’ll be dropping some money in you amazon account this weekend mate – this is a great addition to txp.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Be useful if txp:l10n_if_lang worked with txp:else.
