Hi,

I saw the Articles does not comes with a FR lexicon. I made some translations and uploads a FR folder to the Lexicon folder.
The Manager now shows a FR choice in the lexicon menu for Articles.

How can use it ?? I mean to setup the use BY DEFAULT of my FR lexicon

Plus: according to the i18n doc :

[[%key? &topic=`topicname` &namespace=`namespace_name` &language=`en`]]

I tried in my chunks :

[[%articles.posted_by &language=`[[++cultureKey]]

and so on for each necessary keys.
This is not interpreted (it outputs literally "%articles.posted_by &language=`fr" ).

For the moment I have only web and manager contexts.
web should be FR. If I add BABEL, I'll will add EN context.

Thank you

Salut

That might be a copy/paste mistake but you did not close your lexicon tag (`]] is missing after cultureKey).

Hope that might help

Edit :
by the way, you might skip the cultureKey part. See a Login example that might "en-light" you [ed. note: romain last edited this post 14 years, 4 months ago.]

Thank you Romain but I don't know because it "felt in function".
I created a EN context (like I was installing Babel) + a Lang gway plugin I used in a previous project (initialy found in an online Babel tutorial I'm not able to find again)

Here's this gway code:

<?php
//make sure the plugin does not run on the mgr context (the manager)  
        if ( $modx->context->get( 'key' ) != 'mgr') {  
            /**  
            * grab the current context from the request "c" parameter (or context_param_alias from system settings)  
            * the alternative .htaccess friendly URL rewrite rule must be activated  
            */  
            $cntxt_param = $modx->getOption('context_param_alias', null, 'cultureKey');  
            if ( isset( $_REQUEST[$cntxt_param] ) && $_REQUEST[$cntxt_param] != '' ) {  
                switch ( $_REQUEST[$cntxt_param] ) {  
      
                    case 'en':  
                    $modx->switchContext('English');  
                    break;  
      
                    //case 'de':  
                    //$modx->switchContext('Deutsch');  
                    //break;  
      
                    default:  
                    // nothing because web is default  
                    break;  
                }  
            }  
        }

Now, for future purposes, Is Articles Babel compatible ??
