Hi,
I am trying to make a (small) site bilingual (dutch/french) and along
the way I encountered some problems.
This is what I have now :
1) an element LANG_COMPONENT which sets a global cookie 'lang' according
to an input value. It shows a template in which the user can choose a
language. It has a childtrigger 'lang'.
2) every element that wants to participate in the bilingual site
inherits from LANG_COMPONENT. So, if the language cookie is not found
(childtrigger not triggered), the language choice template is shown. I
just implemented this like the authentication element.
3) in fact, my elements all inherit the authentication element which
inherits from LANG_COMPONENT. *Problem* : I cannot show the login page
in the choosen language. I read some posts about this in the
mailinglist, but found no immediate solution.
4) the last thing missing is to be able to change the language while on
the site and thus with the 'lang' cookie already set. I use an embedded
element for this with the same logic as the LANG_COMPONENT : show two
links with parameter 'lang_id' and call getInput("lang_id") and set the
cookie accordingly. *Problem* : if I click this link, the cookie gets
set but the page does not change. If I click again, I get the desired
result. I don't think I understand why it works like this. It acts like
if the page template does not get refreshed interely, only the embedded
element. I guess I just don't have enough insight into the working of
embedded elements, but if someone has a suggestion...
-> Geert, I know you mentioned the issue RIFE-258 which should solve all
this. If there's something I can do to test this patch, let me know how
to proceed.
Thanks
Henk
