display the page from other url

Gallex · 2013-12-04 13:01:55

i have multilanguages (6) site. to make life easier, client wants to display this products section page under all other language product section pages as well. the navigation menu needs to stay unchanged – so it can’t just redirect the link (like i have done at the moment).
one solution, which came to my mind, is to use iframe in articles, but iframe will display the whole page, containing header and footer and so on… is there more, better solutions?

not the excellent explanation, but i hope you understood what i’m trying to do.

Why wouldn’t you include <txp:article_custom section="products" /> instead of iframe on the concerned pages?

yes, this is a good solution till visitor goes to individual article (product) page…

Huh, yeah… Well, you could use iframes, with a bit of js manipulation to detect if the page is iframed and hide headers/footers etc. But this means two requests by page.

If only the navigation menu is concerned, you can try to introduce some url lang parameter:

install etc_url;
create one menu form for every language: menu-en, menu-de, and so on;
detect which language is called: <txp:variable name="lang" value='<txp:etc_url type="lang" />' />;
display the corresponding menu: <txp:output_form form='menu-<txp:variable name="lang" />' />;
to transmit lang parameter to all links, replace <txp:permlink /> and such with <txp:etc_url url='<txp:permlink />' query='lang=<txp:variable name="lang" />' />

yes exactly, the navigation menu is the main concern. but i’m not sure i fully understand you…

install etc_url;

done

detect which language is called: <txp:variable name="lang" value='<txp:etc_url type="lang" />' />;

display the corresponding menu: <txp:output_form form='menu-<txp:variable name="lang" />' />;

i will put this two lines into page template? actually i have different page template for every language – does this make a difference? and how this language detection process will work exactly…?

i use <txp:permlink /> only in article forms. how i will replace them here:

<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_excerpt>
<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<txp:excerpt />
<p class="meta"><txp:permlink>Loe edasi &raquo; </txp:permlink></p>
<txp:else />
...

I would create only one or two templates, /glavnaya/ isn’t any better than /home/?lang=ru (save seo…), but let it be as is for the moment. Include this in the English template, just to test. In menu-ru form you should add ?lang=ru to all links, like this: <a href="/products/?lang=ru">Продукты</a>. The lang parameter will be detected by etc_url and stored in <txp:variable name="lang" />.

Replace <txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> in the appropriate article form by

<txp:if_variable name="lang" value="">
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
<txp:else />
<txp:etc_url url='<txp:permlink />' query='lang=<txp:variable name="lang" />'><txp:title /></txp:etc_url>
</txp:if_variable>

oleg, i don’t know, did i do all as needed, but it started to go wrong in many places :(
i can’t allow this, because this is a live site and has quite big frequency of attendance.

Would you like to try yourself? i could create an account for you

Sure you can, a designer account should suffice, but I won’t be back before 3 hours, sorry.
