Bilingual PixelPost (almost)

[RobbieMc]

Christoph, the instructions at the beginning of this thread will get you 2/3 of the way to a bilingual PP (although I would also be interested in how phoetic.de pulled it off). I am waiting to get the 1.5 Final before transferring all my language hacks to the index.php file.

My wife's site is an example of the script above: http://photoblog.sophiepasquet.com

I am trying to get this (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/11/a...o-website.html) to work for translation on my test site (http://www.mykodachrome.com/pixelpost0001/) but so far no luck. Surely this should be possible. I know it will not be a real bilingual site, but it would be cool!

Hi all,

sorry for my late answer. I thought I would get an email when my post was answered, but obviously I didn't subscribe to the notification option - my mistake

@ Rob - I'm not afraid of some work to get the whole thing working like on your wife's blog (nice!). It's just the fact that - as far as I understood - I likely will have some (or even many) problems with each pp-update I will do in the future because I have to change the pp's system files for the above. Because of that it would just be very much smarter to have it as an addon but I just don't get how to make one out of that

@ mykodachrome - I'm not realy convinced about that... have you ever checked the translations? (Some extra-fun if your native language is NOT english of course.) As long as this kind of automatical translation makes anybody more laugh than understand I would prefer to know exactly what the visitors of my blog will get to read on my page

Best regards from Belgium,
Chris

Chris, I will try to move as much of it as I can to an addon in the future, but some parts I don't think can be moved to an addon (eg, the template switch). I will post the entire set of php files (index.php and addon files) once 1.5 Final has come out and I transfer the changes to there. I'll let you know when I post it.

Thanks a lot, Rob. I look forward to your solution when 1.5 Final has released. I will continue thinking about it too. There must be a simple workaround which I didn't figure out yet

Have a nice day,
Chris

One of future versions of Pixelpost will have user's workspaces so it will be much easier to do such things as addons

I have now transferred all of these hacks to PP 1.5 Final, including those that hack the admin for switches of certain dbase entries. However, it requires new dbase fields (2 in pixelpost table and 1 in category table). I understand that I could probably write an "install" script that created these new fields tables, but after spending 18 hours on the weekend transferring the hacks, I think I am now out of PP coding steam. I am happy to share the hacked core files with anybody who wants them, but you will be on your own using phpmyadmin to create the needed dbase fields (I will indicate which ones need to be created).

I understand that 1.6 will be bilingual so this interim fix is not needed for those who are preared to wait.

We are trying to make pixelpost bilingual and currently the code is under review.

I am waiting 1.6! Bilingual functionality is very cool feature for all non-english photoblogs!

Can you say an estimation date of the 1.6 release?

Nope, the release date is still under review.
