Re: YAMS: Yet Another Multilingual Solution

You should have mod rewrite switched off for your manager directory. Make sure that the ht.access file in the manager directory is renamed .htaccess and restart (or reload) your server.

aaaaaaah
Forgot that the manager also had a htaccess file

Why can’t it find the resources when i have my template like this:
<base href="(yams_site)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="[(site_url)]assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css"/>
or
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="[(base_url)]assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css"/>

Because the whole module and site is working now. Only it can’t find the resources now.

I don’t know. The

RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

lines in your .htaccess file prevent it interfering with real files and directories. So, I think that either your server is misconfigured, the [(site_url)] is not what you think it is, or the path to the file is wrong.

When you look in the source of your web page, how does [(site_url)]assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css appear? If you browse directly to that location, what happens?

Hhhmm...it can be that the server is misconfigured. But i can’t test it on the live server yet.
So maybe it is no problem when i put everything online. But for now:

[(base_url)]
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css"/>
[(site_url)]
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://127.0.0.1/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css"/>

(yams_site)
<base href="http://127.0.0.1/nl/" />


If I go to: http://127.0.0.1/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css
It gets renamed to http://127.0.0.1/nl/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css and i get a 404.

But again, maybe it is because im working offline on a local WAMP test server.

So, you will need to use [(site_url)], not [(base_url)], since [(base_url)] is not outputting anything and your base href head tag would map your file to the wrong address.

Please try switching off your YAMS plugin temporarily, and then browsing to http://127.0.0.1/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css

I suspect that there is an error in your path, file or access permissions, and so you will still get a file not found error (but no redirection to http://127.0.0.1/nl/... since YAMS is not trying to redirect to an address corresponding to your default language.) Please let me know what happens.

http://127.0.0.1/assets/templates/wnh/styles/style.css
works fine, because i made the website first and than implemented YAMS.

But I hope that tomorrow I can put it on a live server and see what happens.
If it works, it can have 2 problems:
1) my server config is wrong
2) YAMS can’t handle an IP adress correctly

I have just fixed the problem with YAMS not allowing you to set IP addresses as server names in my bleeding edge version. If you would like to repair the problem in your version until I finalise the release, do the following:

1. Open yams.class.inc.php.
2. Find the declaration for the function SetMonoServerName.
3. Replace the regexp string by
4. Find the declaration for the function SetServerName
5. Make the same replacement within the preg_match.

You should then be able to set an IP based address as your server name.

EDIT: Updated to include points 4 and 5.

YAMS 1.0.3 has now been submitted to the MODx repository. Until it is has been reviewed and accepted by MODx it can be downloaded from my server.

EDIT: Version 1.0.3 alpha is now available from the MODx repository.

DNA. Just wondering whether you got it to work in the end, perhaps with YAMS 1.0.3 alpha? Was it a server configuration issue?
