I was not able to change the code due to unsufficient rights to post links.
So now I will do an atempt to post it as an attachment.

I had trouble to get this code to work in the latest Codeingiter 2.0 + HMVC.
I took all the wrong advise that I gathered from the board , only to get stuck even more.

I did some clean-up and bugfixing and finally ended up with something that does work.

Hope this helps.

Nice to hear that things have worked…

Hello.

First of all, thank you for this update.

I’ve notice a small bug:
i’m using this version or internationalization with HMVC and ci2 and the $special seem to be broken.

Thanks for your feedback. You were right . The special function didn’t work.
As I don’t use it I didn’t notice it.

I just updated the code and updated the upload in the first post. Hope this fixes the issue.

Good luck.

thank you.

Sorry to say that with v1.2 I introduced a new bug that caused the lang_swich not to work anymore.
The upload of the first post has been updated to V1.3 which includes the fixed code.

Regards

I goes on and on.

V.14 is uploaded. Hope all bugs are fixed now!

After copying the files as described in the article I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Lang::CI_Lang() in /www/websites/audio-machinery/application/core/MY_Lang.php on line 32.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Yep, the code in that article is full of bugs.
Try your luck with the code I attached in the first post.  That should take care of it.

That’s it! And finally after reading through tones of posts it works. Thanks a lot!

Webwerken,

Thanks for fixing bugs. Your version works fine!

I have one question, though.

Let’s assume we have:
- default language set to english
- default controller set to home
- other languages, e.g. german and french

Then we open our site: base_url and this call is redirected to:

Which is:

Is it possible to avoid aforementioned redirection and have following structure (produced by e.g. switch_uri()):
- base_url - it is silently redirected to en/home, but the address remains the same
- base_url/de/home
- base_url/fr/home

Thanks.

One more thing:

is described in comment above declaration as following:

It is not true - in some cases it might not return the first element of $this->languages array and we cannot rely on this method.

Thanks.

1) Using switch_uri in the constructer of the language class could cause a infinite loop. As it is modified to use “localization”, Which is a method of that same class.

2) That’s an old comment. That was how this method used to work. The current default_lang() method will pick the preferred language according to the browser preferences of the visitor.
I should have updated that. You can ignore that.

Cheers

I had a small problem with the base_url redirect because I put my controllers in subdirectorys so I had my ‘front end’ controllers in a directory called ‘controllers/client’. Therefore my route.php file looked like this:

With this scenario when making a request to base url it would redirect to http://mysite.local/en/client/home which didn’t work. it needed to be http://mysite.local/en/home for it to work so in MY_lang.php changed the line:

to

I’m sure there could have been a more elegant way to do it but it works.

thanks for updating this library webwerken. 

For those use rely on uri->segment() , don’t forget for special routing all you do is use uri->rsegment().

uri->segment(1) should return the language (if any), while uri->rsegment(1) will return the first segment AFTER the custom routers (if any).

using the .zipped files and making necessary changes, default language reverts back to English.

For example, when i change url to site.com/tr/controller
in the My_Lang file, when I echo the following line out in the __construct:

but then in my controller when i check

why is it changing the default?

[FIXED]

I was autoloading my default config file… so after the language was set to turkish, the config file was reloaded, replacing the settings. Side note, using autoload there should be some sort of check if the library/model/helper/file has already been loaded.
