Topic: Jobberbase Multingual with litle hack

Attention!- Please backup your files before do this hack.

You may find a demo of this result on http://www.balicareer.com

The files tobe hack are bellow:
1. config.php
2. index.php
3. _template/default/header.tpl
4. _template/default/css/screen.css
5. create folder 'languages' on root
6. move your file translations.ini to languages folder and rename to english.ini
   you may add other file translation like german.ini spanish.ini into this folder.

Let's do hack one by one
1. config.php
   find the code bellow:

Code:
    define('ENABLE_RECAPTCHA', $settings['enable_recaptcha']);
    define('CAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY', $settings['captcha_public_key']);
    define('CAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY', $settings['captcha_private_key']);
        
    // Setup Smarty
    $smarty = new Smarty();
    $smarty->template_dir = APP_PATH . '_templates/' . THEME . '/';
    $smarty->compile_dir = APP_PATH . '_templates/' . THEME . '/_cache/';
    
    // Create Textile object
    $textile = new Textile;

Insert the code bellow in above //Setup Smarty

Code:
 //Define Languages
    class Language
{
    var $description; //language name
    var $filename; //language PHP constants file
}

    //a list of languages
    $lang_list = array();

    //to add new languages 
    $lang_list[0] = new Language();
    $lang_list[0]->description = "English";
    $lang_list[0]->filename = "english.ini";

    $lang_list[1] = new Language();
    $lang_list[1]->description = "Indonesian";
    $lang_list[1]->filename = "indonesian.ini";

2. Index.php
   Delete the code bellow at line arround 19 -24

Code:
if (file_exists(APP_PATH . '_includes' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'translations.ini')) {
        $translations = parse_ini_file(APP_PATH . '_includes' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'translations.ini', true);
        $smarty->assign('translations', $translations);
    } else {
        trigger_error('Unable to find the translations file!');
    }

replace with this code

Code:

    //select a new language?
    if (isset($_POST["new_language"]))
    {
        $_SESSION["current_language"] = $_POST["new_language"];
    }

    //current language session variable
    if (!isset($_SESSION["current_language"]) ||
        $_SESSION["current_language"] < 0 || $_SESSION["current_language"] > count($lang_list))
            $_SESSION["current_language"] = 0; //set default language
    //include a language file
    if (isset($lang_list[$_SESSION["current_language"]]) && file_exists("./languages/".$lang_list[$_SESSION["current_language"]]->filename))
    {
        $translations = parse_ini_file(APP_PATH . '/languages/'.$lang_list[$_SESSION["current_language"]]->filename, true);
        $smarty->assign('translations', $translations);
    }    
    else
    {
        die("<font color=red><b>ERROR: Couldn't find language file!</b></font>");
    }

3. header.tpl
  Find the code bellow

Code:
    </ul>
            <div id="the_feed">

The new code will be as bellow

Code:
 </ul>
        <ul id="top2">
{if $lang_list_count > 1}
    {section name=i loop=$lang_list}
    {if $smarty.section.i.index > 0}<font class="lightsmall">/</font> {/if}
    <li><a class="lightsmall" href="javascript:document.lang_form.new_language.value={$smarty.section.i.index};document.lang_form.submit();">{$lang_list[i]->description}</a></li>
    {/section}

    <form name="lang_form" method="post" action="{$BASE_URL}">
    <input type="hidden" name="new_language">
    </form>
{/if}
    </ul>
            <div id="the_feed">

4. Screen.css
Add 2 line code to define top2 id in header box, see code bellow

Code:
div#header ul#top{position:absolute; top:10px; right:10px}
div#header ul#top li{display:inline; margin-left:2px; background-color:transparent; color:#09C}
div#header ul#top2{position:absolute; top:10px; right:210px}
div#header ul#top2 li{display:inline; margin-left:2px; background-color:transparent; color:#09C}

That's All.

Re: Jobberbase Multingual with litle hack

Looks good but a problem seems to be there..changing the language brings the site back to homepage instead of keeping on the page where it was clicked.

Re: Jobberbase Multingual with litle hack

You are wright. Let try this way.

1. Add the code bellow somewhere in config.php

Code:
     define ('BASE_URL_NOW', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '/');

2. Update the header.tpl
  Change the action variable to "{$BASE_URL_NOW}" instead of $BASE_URL

Code:

    <form name="lang_form" method="post" action="{$BASE_URL_NOW}">
    <input type="hidden" name="new_language">

Re: Jobberbase Multingual with litle hack

I have tried this hack twice on 2 fresh installs of JobberBase 1.8.  The links to change languages never appear.  Also in my testing I cannot get the $lang_list array to print to screen.  I try $lang_list[0]->description and it's blank.

Anyways please verify again that this code above is correct as I would desperately like to try this!
