To copy WCMS installation?

Post by mainecoon »

I try to make two-language site with two instances of WCMS.

I tried to copy WCMS folder, and name it, and copied the database with
different name that fits with the configuration. No, it didnt work.

What else there is to know?

Hi mainecoon,

why you do so? A two language site you can make with one installation and one database.
At the frontend the user can switch between this two languages.
Two different domains are also possible, one for the first and one for the second language.

I did try this two-language hack with javascript loader in header, which loads the languages.js
http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.p ... =languages

But it was glitchy. It showed unrendered text in a page for a short moment and it really didnt work.

So I guess I make two installations instead.

I think, a better way is one multilingual site with this domain switch: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=73775#73775

- home
--- Language One e.g. ID=1 -> MyDomain_01.Tld
----- category 01
----- category 02
-------- category 02_01
-------- category 02_01
----- category 03

--- Language Two e.g. ID=2 -> MyDomain_02.Tld
----- category 01
----- category 02
-------- category 02_01
-------- category 02_01
----- category 03


-- and so on

Ok. Lets see... I currently have brenners CSS PHP Multilingual mod.
Works fine... except all css styles seems to be lost.

I don´t know this script. My solution is made for sites with different domains and content for every language.
