I came with this solution:
in the page I only this:
<?
local_page();
?>
in a PHP_INIT element in the style:
function local_page() {
global $lang;
$mgd = mgd_get_midgard();
$list = mgd_list_page_elements( $mgd->page );
if(!$list) {
echo "Can not get page content.<br>";
} else {
$ptbrID = -1;
while( $list->fetch() ) {
if (($list->name == "pt_BR") and ($ptbrID != -2)) {
$ptbrID = $list->id;
}
if ($list->name == $lang) {
$ptbrID = -2;
$elem = mgd_get_page_element($list->id);
?>
&(elem.value:p);
<?
}
}
if ($ptbrID >= 0) {
$elem = mgd_get_page_element($ptbrID);
?>
&(elem.value:p);
<?
}
}
}
which retrieves the page *ELEMENT* with the same name of the current language,
$lang (en, pt_BR, es, etcetera). If the page element is not found, we retrieve
the default language, pt_BR in this case.
Note that with the :p modifier I can put even PHP code in the page elements.
With this setup I can solve the static content problem:
All pages will have only the <? local_page(); ?> content, and we put all the
real content in en, pt_BR, es, etcetera, page elements (even with PHP code.
UHU!!).
