Dear all,
I am back with modx and I have to install Babel on Revo 2.5
I have once installed Babel on Rveo 2.2 but the manager panel has changed and I have a doubt it my babel setup is correct.
I followed that exemple and my notes
First
I edited and add the followinf to my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite www.domain.com -> domain.com -- used with SEO Strict URLs plugin
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mywebsite\.ch [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.ch/$1 [R=301,L]
# BABEL
# redirect all requests to /de/favicon.ico and /nl/favicon.ico
# to /favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(fr|it|de)/favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L,QSA]
# redirect all requests to /de/assets* and /nl/assets* to /assets*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(fr|it|de)/assets(.*)$ assets$2 [L,QSA]
# redirect all other requests to /de/* and /nl/*
# to index.php and set the cultureKey parameter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(fr|it|de)?/?(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]
I created two new context and I create 4 contect setting for each context (see picture)
(the site_start has to be changed after creating the translating page)
Third
I add the gateway as a plugin and I replace nl with it en en with de
<?php
if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr"){
/* grab the current langauge from the cultureKey request var */
switch ($_REQUEST['cultureKey']) {
case 'it':
/* switch the context */
$modx->switchContext('it');
break;
case 'de':
/* switch the context */
$modx->switchContext('de');
break;
default:
/* Set the default context here */
$modx->switchContext('web');
break;
}
/* unset GET var to avoid
* appending cultureKey=xy to URLs by other components */
unset($_GET['cultureKey']);
}
I installed Babel and I saved 'web,it,de' as Contect key in option, before click on Install
Finally
I added this in my template
<ul>[[BabelLinks]]</ul>
<ul>[[BabelLinks? &showUnpublished=`1`]]</ul> <!-- for testing -->
I have not created translated page from manager.
Quastion 1
If I read my note old of 2 years (may more), I wrote to edit the gateway plugin and select 'OnHandleRequest'.
Must it be done on 2.5? The tutorial does not that!
Question 2
My web page does not display the menu language! Is because I have not created translate page or because I missed something to do?
Question 3
What baout 'Load only'?
Last question
Now, in Manager, the is a new menu 'Extras->Babel'. On my previous MODx 2.2 there is not that menu.
What is that new menu? Is a central point to see all translated pages? etc.. Should I create my translated page from that menu or it's the same if I create from a ressource?
Many thank for your help and have a nice evening
Cheers
