klimin_a_s contacted me on ICQ with some questions about Pixelpost 1.6.
First problem: Tags with Russian symbols do not saves.
tags must have normal alphabetic names, so Russian, Polski, German are all languages effected by this. Reason: we are working on something which has the tag in the url. Special characters are not allowed in an url.
2. Second: In the comments admin area (index.php?view=comments) field "Name:" shows incorrect symbols instead of Russian sybmols. But the fields "Comment:" and "Image:" works fine...
This sounds like a language issue. Please check the russian language files.
3. Third: I plan update my custom fields addon. There are an alternative fields in the database, and I want to modify this addon to support of the bilingual feature of 1.6. How I can read information by PHP about which language is set in the current session? If the GET parameter is defined (lang=XX), then OK. But in the URL this parameter may be dismissed. How can I recognize the current language?
I'll have to come back on that one. I believe I set a cookie somewhere with the language tag. If there is no cookie, use default, else use alternative
4. Fourth: It is reasonable to make an alt. photoblog name in the options (and tag <ALT_SITE_TITLE>). But this problem can be solved in the template... But the tag <SITE_TITLE> is senseless in that case. This is a minor problem, nevertheless.
Alternative title could be considered but probably won't be done after the final release of 1.6
5. I think, the RSS-functionality will be more better if user (admin) can use all rss-styles simultaneously. Now you can select one RSS-style (Show fullzise pictures, Show thumbnails, Show text only). But if you make available using all these styles at the same time, whis will be great! For example,
http://<DOMAIN>/index.php?x=rss_thumb
http://<DOMAIN>/index.php?x=rss_textonly
http://<DOMAIN>/index.php?x=rss_fullsize
Some people likes text-only feeds, some people likes fullsize or thumbnails...
this is probably a better task for an addon
6.6. I guess, only main (non-alternative) language can be used as admin language?
It is already on our todo list. We're not sure it will make it in version 1.6 final (we need some stuff for 1.7)
