MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

For multilingual databases you should be using multiple different collations. Each textpattern table should be using a collation that matches the language, and its characteristics (charset of course should be UTF-8). Otherwise MySQL will not work properly when it comes to searching, matching and sorting.

Oops, well spotted, thanks. Everyone ignore what I said earlier about collations (I edited the posts anyway). Just make sure the field types match.

Ok, I made a blank new install on my xampp here of TXP latest and the latest “official” MLP, then overwrote the files with those in github (the plugin files I edited by substituting the php code from the github sources). All ok only the same problem persists — no edits are saved on the website although they are saved in the backend. New articles are being created.

I feel like an idiot right now. Am I the only one with those problems?

Unlikely to be you: it’s the code!

If it’s not working on a new installation with no other plugins installed, then it’s likely the plugin isn’t set up to work with the PHP / MySQL version you’re using. Since it’s a XAMPP install I won’t be able to log in and test it, but if you can let me know as much as possible about your environment it’d help — both your local one and the server you originally found the problem on.

If it’s at all possible to grant me a login to the server it’s happening on (even a Txp login would be fine for now) then I might be able to figure out what’s going on. Thanks.

Stef, after two consecutive installs from scratch, ~~it finally worked on the xampp~~ . I don’t know what has changed as I followed the same procedure each time: new TXP install, MLP official, ran the install and it could not create the two language tables:

Add the per-language article tables… Add the English [l10n_txp_en_gb] table : Failed Add the Deutsch [l10n_txp_de_de] table : Failed

(Although when I looked into the DB the tables were there, if I recall right.)

..then I rewrote files with yours, copied the php code for each plugin file and edited them by replacing all. The last time I did that, I did changes to an article and it worked.

It bothers me that I can’t reproduce the problem because there most certainly is something but it might be caused by the fact that that there are too many procedures of changes to the MLP.

I plan on using your plugin maker to export what I have tomorrow and install on a copy of the website in question and see if it flies. If not, I’ll set up a login for you on the website and send.

P.S. Nothing has changed — still not saving changes. The above short-lived joy was based on forgotten activation of plug-ind. Doh!

Ok folks, after all the mess with several installs, I’ve missed the fix-on-the-fix. Things work now. Stef, thanks a lot!!!!!

hey there,
i am trying to get the sort order (sort by title) right for german but failed.
from what i have read i need to set the collation for l10n_txp_de_de to latin1_german1_ci, is this true?
unfortunately it does not produce the expectet result :(

i am using a pretty old version of mlp 4.3.0 with txp 4.4.1, i know it has bugs but don’t want to upgrade…
i hope its not related to the temp table created by mlp while doing the queries

could someone please push me into the right direction?

cheers

Just updated an old 4.2.0 site with 4.5.4 and MLP from Github – all ok and working, just see one error on screen:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/old/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(812) : eval()'d code on line 1 The above errors were caused by the plugin:l10n

That’s after overwriting the old l10n.php and gbp_admin_library.php plugins with the code from Github. Any ideas on this?

At a gues I’d say don’t paste in the <?php part of the plugin source code. Just copy and paste everything between the # --- BEGIN PLUGIN CODE --- and # --- END PLUGIN CODE --- markers.

The content is in UTF-8, so you shouldn’t be using Latin1. You will have to change both the table and its columns to utf8_german_ci, or to any other Language that uses same alphabet as German.

thank you for your answer – i recognized somebody added a space as first char at this particular article….
removing the space resolved the problem. :)

Mmm, thanks, but didn’t work! Must be something simple, can’t see it yet.
