I found out that using smd_short_url together with MLP causes problems.
Maybe you’d better ask in the smd_short_url thread. If there is a solution, Stef will tell you :)

Yes, I did this using smd_query. I had to repeat the code for each language because I used it to build the links to the renditions as well (which is otherwise only possible in individual article mode and I needed it in article list mode). My code is not exactly what you need, but I guess you’ll be able to change it to your needs. I also used variable and if_variable to check if the rendition exists.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks a lot! smd_query is really the swiss army knife for textpattern …

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
Is it possible to get the language code into the log files?
At the moment I see only index.php instead of ru/index.php or de/index.php

That’s an old “issue” that still persists. URLs without the language markers work too. If you browse some previous pages on this thread (take your time, we are already at page 153 :) ), I’ve reported this “issue” before. I’m not sure if there is something you can do to prevent TXP/MLP to make this non-language-mark URLs to work. Also, should they return a 404? or should they just redirect to the correct URL, including the lang mark?
All of a sudden my no-language-mark URLs from RSS feed started to behave really strange – if current browser language is the same as the language of post – it works as usual. But if the browser language is different from the language of post I get 404 error.
Let’s say I have /ru/odin and /en/one. Before /odin and /one URLs also worked, but now I get 404 from a browser with Russian locale if I try to access /one
Anybody have any ideas? Can it be related to the template switch?
And I get ‘Nice try’ string when I try to access a feed URL from feedburner – google adds a lot of parameters. txp seems unwilling to serve URLs with it.
P.S. I changed ‘Maxumum URL length’ in advanced settings, no more ‘Nice try’.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
Sorry. The problem was caused by feedburner.
Two feedburner’s settings confused MLP:
1. Optimize/browser friendly
2. Analyze/Configure stats/Item link clicks
I disabled both and now enjoy both of my feeds :)

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
It seems to be a MLP bug making RSS feeds unusable with MLP.
URLs in RSS feeds are without language markers when Keep Txp’s normal feed behaviour is ON. When its OFF the feeds are broken.
I take two posts, one in English, the other- in Russian.
http://liniocht.com/drawings/wooden-temples-in-kizhi
http://liniocht.com/drawings/dvor-v-vyborge
If I enter these URls into the address bar of a browser, only one of them loads, the other returns 404 error.
Which one returns error depends on the current language of MLP. As far as I understand MLP has no way of detecting which language the post belong to and searches only in current language.
You can try it yourself, but purge the browser cache first.
To make sure both posts exist you may address them with language markers:
http://liniocht.com/en/drawings/wooden-temples-in-kizhi
http://liniocht.com/ru/drawings/dvor-v-vyborge
and again, purge the browser cache to make sure the bug is replicable
This demo http://mlp-demo.netcarving.com/ demonstrates the same behaviour.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
Hi Liniocht, no the thread isn’t dead, but I can’t answer your question, don’t know how MLP handles (or should handle) this ;) Did you look at your MLP preferences settings, in particular Keep Txp’s normal feed behaviour?
If that doesn’t help, I hope Graeme notices your posts. If you think it’s a bug, you can also file it here.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
Can anybody give me links to working MLP-enabled sites? I have to check I’m not the only one having the problem with no-lang-marks URL.

Els, I’d appreciate if you file the bug described here

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
I need to add another language to a site and was wondering whether MLP can be installed on an existing site that already has lots of content?
If so, what, if any, problems might we encounter?

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
hi masa.
There shouldn’t be any TXP-related problem on adding MLP to an existing site. Of course, you will sweat a little during the process ;).
Of course, there are other issues that you may want to consider and have listed in your check list: URLs will change (you will get the lang chunk for each language, like /en/, /es/, /de/, etc), so website’s positioning/SEO may get hurt during a while, until search engines re-index the website again. Of course, you can prevent/minimize this by doing redirects from old stuff to new stuff, and/or serving a sitemap to search engines with the new URLs, to make them easier to re-index your website properly.
