MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Teemu · 2011-02-15 06:28:34

My production status is set to ‘live’ and I get notices with a red font on the front end top.

I just noticed that with status to set to ‘testing’ similar red notices appear also on back end. So status ‘live’ seem to remove the notices from back end but not front end.

I have toggled the settings, re-installed MLP… the problem persists.

Hello,

I recently noticed a problem with <txp:site_url />.

In the standard comment_form <form action=”… the URL for the post action (comming through txp:site_url) does not contain the language prefix /de or /en. it just begins with the textpattern-url-scheme /section/id.

During comment_preview the site_url points then to my /favicon.ico wich gives totally wrong results when posting a comment (in fact, the browser asks me to download the favicon).

I am curious, because I could not find anything about this through google and wondering if that is a known problem?

using textpattern 4.30
Had the same results/problem with MLP 0.9.13-gp with additional tweaks and the mlp-4.3.0.12 wich I am currently on.

any ideas?

Where do you see that? As far as I know it’s not in the default comment_form (or maybe the one there is not up to date?)

…does not contain the language prefix /de or /en. it just begins with the textpattern-url-scheme /section/id.

That’s right, but commenting still works.

During comment_preview the site_url points then to my /favicon.ico wich gives totally wrong results when posting a comment (in fact, the browser asks me to download the favicon).

That is very strange. When I click ‘preview’ the URL loses the language marker, and adds #cpreview to the end. I do have a favicon.ico, but I can’t reproduce the error. How are you linking to the favicon.ico on your page?

I hope someone else can answer this question for you, I’m afraid I have no idea…

Els, thank you for your quick and comprehensive answer!

the comment_form wraps the actual form inside a <form> tag with the described action. I thought the lost language tag was a hint for an error.

here is the solution. I reffered to the favicon with a “/favicon.ico” in the link rel head tag. an absolute path www.domain.com/favicon.com solved this: the site_url never gets confused.
so it is obviously a strange server/textpattern-issue.

thank you, Els. this resolved a headache for me.

Els, thanks for noticing anyways.

Digging deeper I came up with a solution. The problem originates from the ‘Use browser “accept-language” headers?’ setting in the MLP preferences.

So if someone gets notices about deprecated split() functions with PHP 5.3.x, setting this to ‘no’ will get rid of them.

However, in my case I wanted to keep using language headers, so what I did is edited the l10n plugin code slightly.

There’s two ‘split’ funtions, in line 237 and 242, which I replaced with ‘explode’. I’m not a php coder, by no means, but this seems to be working.

Teemu, thanks for posting your solution. I hope it will help others who encounter the same problem.

frischmilch, glad you solved it. I think that losing the language marker when commenting is not as it should be, but so far I haven’t noticed any negative side effects, so we’ll just have to live with it ;)

Noted, thanks. Will be included in the next build.

Hello,
I wrote a series of articles before installing the MLP. Now I’d like to pass these articles to different languages, but the MLP table is empty.

Thank you very much

els · 2011-03-03 19:49:33

It shouldn’t be empty as far as I know. Did you follow these instructions when you installed MLP?

Thanks Els, run the cleanup wizard, then installed back, and now it’s ok. ;)

Hello again,
I’m trying to make some links to the different language homepages, as l10n_lang_list would, but with images. I’m hacking with code such as

<a href="<txp:link_to_home />it/"><txp:image name="it.png" /></a>

but link_to_home returns already homepage.tld/it/. Is there any way to dynamically/tag link to language homepages?

Thanks for suggestions…
