Multiple languages for guests

[AtReM]

Hi,

I would like to show guests the forum in different languages on my site.
In SP1 I used the language.mod and the &language= parameter.
How is this solved now that the language is set in user's profiles?

thnx

Cool idea!  I'd go post this as a mod idea or get someone to move this thread to the mod ideas board.

Maybe it is easier to have two different yabbse folders with different language settings in them, while they are both pointing to the same MySQL database (and use the same Sources, YabbImages, etc. folders).

NE1 tried this?

That would work fine...

ok sorry bout the dissapearing act.

But what i would use would be add it to the database where the guest ip is put in and have it select what language and display it.
I
t is autoset to the default language on load of the index then they can select what language they want at the bottom of index.php and then that updates the dbase.

Which is called by the load user lang, its a small mod, not to hard just an if statement where it loads the userlang or something along those lines.

All users to your site even if there guests load the lang from the same place, but registered users have what one they want listed so its used.

This means you will just need to replace the bit that says if (!lang) do default to do whats in the db for this ip.

Well atleast I think this is how it works

Somehow there are two of these threads with the exact same name in the same board?

In the other one I suggested using a input tag to store the guests preference. Since 1.5 uses sessions I suppose once it is set you could keep that info stored in a session variable or just write out the current language into an input tag for every page load if the user is a guest.

Yeah, I really don't think it's a good idea to cluter up the database with this information.

still same diff u just call it from the session instead of going default do the session instead if its set

I changed my YaBBSE like this (needed a few changes more) and it works. You can see it at http://www.the-basement-site.com.
Guests going to the forum on the english version of the site get english and the (default) dutch guests in dutch.
Email me if U want help doing something similar.
