I' working on a bilingual site that will have several static pages,
plus some dynamic. The static pages will all be translated and the
dynamic views will use .po files for interface stuff. Dynamic
*content* will not require translating. I found an article on
teknoid's site(1) that seems to be what I need to get this working but
I'm having some trouble figuring out my routes for static files.
With a basic nested directory structure for static files, I can
normally do this:
Router::connect(
'/some_dir/something',
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', '/
some_dir/something')
);
This works fine. But, adding language into the mix has made things
very confusing. As an example:
routes:
Router::connect(
'/:language/:controller/:action/*',
array(),
array('language' => 'en|fr')
);
Router::connect(
'/en',
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => 'en', '/en/home')
);
Router::connect(
'/fr',
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => 'fr', '/fr/home')
);
Router::connect(
'/en/about',
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => 'en', '/en/about')
);
Router::connect(
'/en/links',
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => 'en', '/en/links')
);
links:
$lang = Configure::read('Config.language');
...
echo $html->link(
__('Home', true),
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => $lang, "${lang}/home")
);
echo $html->link(
__('About', true),
array('admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'language' => $lang, "${lang}/about")
);
AppHelper:
public function url($url = null, $full = false)
{
if (!isset($url['language']) && isset($this->params['language']))
{
$url['language'] = $this->params['language'];
}
else
{
$url['language'] = Configure::read('Config.language');
}
return parent::url($url, $full);
}
URLs created:
/en/pages/display/en/home
/en/pages/display/en/about
Obviously, this isn't working. Aside from the unwanted 'pages/display'
part, there's an extra 'en' in there. Can anyone tell me where I'm
going wrong?
