is there a way to make Language Redirection when a visitator from England visit my site to be automaticly redirected to english version of my site?
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?en_home
or if he comes from germany to be redirected automaticly to :
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?de_home
how can I do that?

well, this is an interesting question - indeed!
And there is a solution:
Please have a look at /template/inc_scripts/frontend_init/disabled/domaincheck.php
and edit it to your needs. In case you don't succeed just ask again - then instant relief will be yours

Ah- well, I just detected that you mean the country the visitor is coming from - hmmm, there should be a possibility to check the browser language for example... redirecting per browser language. This would mean that I'll never be able to visit your german part of the site because my browser language is en-US english by default.... hmmmm
Please forget my previous posting for a while

Hi,
I made this like that:
Make a lang_redirect.php
Code: Select all
<?php
if(!$GLOBALS['aktion'][0]) {
switch( strtolower( substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2 ) ) ) {
//deutsch
case 'de': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'de_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//tschechisch
case 'cs': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'cs_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//französisch
case 'fr': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'fr_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//japanisch
case 'ja': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'ja_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//italienisch
case 'it': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'it_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//polnisch
case 'pl': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'pl_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//spanisch
case 'es': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'es_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//russisch
case 'ru': header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'ru_start.phtml');
exit();
break;
//default -> englisch
default: header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'en_start.phtml');
exit();
}
}
?>
fit it to your needs and place it where you want eg. /scripts.
Make a new article in the home category and write in the summary:
Enjoy...
This is working
here.

I'm sending en_US and I'm getting the german page - so the set of cases has to be extended?

If I send en_US, I'm getting the english page.
Browser restartet after language change? Is en_US set as first in the priority?

[EDIT]
I can see in phpmyvisites -> entrypages that it works...

my fault - a simple reload of the kangaruuuh doesn't do it - you have to visit the page and it's working (because otherwise this start page with the script cannot be triggered anymore)
Wouldn't it be better then to push it into a frontend render script?

May be, but this is not soooo easy.
If the user is redirectet because of the language settings of the browser but this language is different to his native language (eg. in a internetcafe) he can't switch the language "by hand".
A frontend_render script should only run at the first access per client or should only work in the home-category - too much work
.
Hey, this function is only a gimmick, or not?
I know my script is not 100%... too

is this script working also if I have the link like this:
index.php?en_home
do I have to put it like this in the script:
Code: Select all
break;
//default -> englisch
default: header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'en_home');
exit();
is that corect?

No!
That's it:
Code: Select all
//default -> englisch
default: header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'].'index.php?en_home');
exit();
Good luck, Heiko...
