MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

net-carver · 2007-12-28 16:15:14

One thought: it might just be one or more stray newline(s) at the end of one of the textpattern/lib/l10n_blahblah.php files (that is, after the ?> at the end of the file.) I just took a look at the sources and there were a few in there — I’ve trimmed them out so the next build will not include them.

If you want to see if that is your problem just edit those text files and make sure there is no blank line after any closing ?>.

Hope that helps.

Edit: The files you will need to edit are…

l10n_default_strings.php
l10n_en-gb_strings.php
l10n_langs.php

Many thanks for this excellent plugin.

I have a problem with the compatibility of this plugin with the plugin chh_keywords. In messy mode it works fine, in clean mode, chh_keywords adds an extra language identifier to the url of the top page (not to the addresses of the individual articles).

For example:

Address returned by <txp:l10n_lang_list /> should be:
1. www.xxx.com/ja (in English mode)
2. www.xxx.com/nl (in English mode)
3. www.xxx.com/en (in Japanese mode)
4. www.xxx.com/nl (in Japanese mode)

Actual address returned:
1. www.xxx.com/ja/en (in English mode)
2. www.xxx.com/nl/en (in English mode)
3. www.xxx.com/en/ja (in Japanese mode)
4. www.xxx.com/nl/ja (in Japanese mode)

I figure this must a problem with the code for clean mode in chh_keywords.

Is there anybody who has (or can make) a fix for this problem?

Problem solved! I removed all the blank lines at the end of all the l10n_ … files and the first empty line is gone.
Thank you.

I’ve never used that plugin so please be patient while I take a look at it. Do be aware however; it might not be possible to fix this problem as the MLP Pack includes a modification to the txplib_db.php file. I’ll let you know what I find or if I need anything else to help narrow it down.

Fantastic. Thanks for helping me make the pack better too. Please consider posting me a link to the site when it goes live and as long as my young daughter can look at it.

Oops, sorry Steve I’m late for an answer.

The website is still in development and must be launch on january 15th 2008. I drop you a line when all will be finished.

Best regards,

Thanks. I think the fix may be needed in the css_keywords plug.

I also have a problem with the plugin “ob1_googlenav”. It should give “www.xxx.com/en/?pg=2”, but instead it gives “www.xxx.com/en?pg=2”. If I add a final “/” to the address in the browser, it actually produces the correct address, so I think the plugin pulls the url from the current page.

Now there is no final “/” in the adress in MLP (eg. the address is “www.xxx.com/en”). Is that on purpose? Is there a way to add a final “/” to the language marker? (eg. “www.xxx.com/en/”)

I will give you the details of the site when it goes live. Should be somewhere in januari.

Kjeld,

Hello again.

Regarding your first post; does disabling chh_keywords give correctly formed links from the l10n_lang_list tag?

I also have a problem with the plugin “ob1_googlenav”. It should give “www.xxx.com/en/?pg=2”, but instead it gives “www.xxx.com/en?pg=2”. If I add a final “/” to the address in the browser, it actually produces the correct address, so I think the plugin pulls the url from the current page.

Yes, it pulls from the current page. As there is no other ‘/’ character after your site’s root URI, the plugin doesn’t insert one.

Some examples…

URI	Re-Written URI
www.xxx.com	www.xxx.com/lang-marker
www.xxx.com/section	www.xxx.com/lang-marker/section
www.xxx.com/section?get-vars	www.xxx.com/lang-marker/section?get-vars

For now, can you consider a move of your use of the googlenav plugin to a section? (I guess not.)

…Is there a way to add a final “/” to the language marker? (eg. “www.xxx.com/en/”)

Not currently. You might find a .htaccess re-write rule to do it.

Yes, it does. (Unfortunately, chh_keywords plays a very important role on the site, so I can’t discard it.)

Mmmm. Not an attractive preposition.

I originally used sections for different languages, but I find your plugin so elegant that I really want to use it, if possible. Do you think a rewrite of the googlenav plugin would be an option?

No. I think an extra option for the l10n_lang_list would be more appropriate. Something like <txp:l10n_lang_list appendslash="1" />.

BTW, I take it that these problems aren’t with the site you just posted for the MLP gallery???

That is correct. They are with another site still under construction. I can e-mail you the URL if it helps.

Ok, there’s a contact form on my website but I probably won’t get much time for anything until Monday night. If you are posting from Japan I’m about an hour behind you here.
