Multilingual Content Management

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the excellent software you have developed, and this is another request so you don't stop working and improving the system.

I'd like to be able to manage the content of the site in multilple languages. This way whenever a user reach any page, they may be presented with a link to change over a different language, and so the page and site will change to that specific language.

Cheers,

renato

The only way to do this at the moment is to use different structure levels. Have a look at this http://www.parkeddomain.info/hollindia.nl

i'd love too to have multilingual support. please consider implementing it

the example is clear but not enough. could you exemplificate more?
and, what if i had a directory structure like

italiano
page1 page2 (subpage2.1) (subpage2.2) page3 page 4 (subpage4.1)

english
same thing

german
same thing

could i "hide" the first level in the column menu and have just the second shown? and of course, not the other languages?

thanx in advance
Fulvio

Yes - that is how I have done this at hollindia.nl

But no level is hidden - I use this http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=287 for the level specific menu. No hidden structure neccessary.

oh. Excellent, thank you

one question:
i'd like to use some other specific programs along with phpwcms like coppermine for galleries and cutenews for news (as long as you don't implement a news system

). Is there any way to "integrate" the access to their - of course separate - management to the main phpwcms management like they were modules or something? i mean, it'd be MUCH more easier to administrate the whole site....

(i hope i have been clear)
thanx in advance

I don't plan to integrate other scripts into phpwcms backend. That makes no sense.

But what is a news system - this are articles too. Or are this only snippets of information - or external infos.

i mean news like :
may, 12, 20.30 CET: "Oliver Georgi awarded for open source nobel prize"
may, 11, 19.40 CET: "Fulvio romanin wins the grammy award for the stupidest question EVER" (picture)

news search for day, month, argument, etc.
and, fundamental question: how comes phpwcms has not an internal search engine? it seems incredible to me that a so-complete and nice CMS (my favourite EVER) misses such common thing

keep up the excellent work, and thanks for replying... Fulvio
