After working on the problem explained below for two days, I found the solution so far just after posting here:
The "subfolders" have to have the same name like the culture key, e.g.: base_url has to be "en" for the culture key "en" and not "com", what I did.
O.k. one step further in learning modx.
Hi,
I am trying to add a second language version to a Website via a second context, how it is discribed in the nice tutorial by "Design from Within"
On a localhost installation I managed to get it working, but on a www server it does not work.
Default language: de, context: web
Second language: en, context: English
The problem is, that the switch via the gateway-plugin accordingly to the cultureKey set in the context settings does not work, it always switches/stays at the default context "web". When I change the default context in the gateway to English, it is switching there.
My setting of the context "English": see attached image.
my Gateway plugin:
<?php
if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr"){
/* grab the current langauge from the cultureKey request var */
switch ($_REQUEST['cultureKey']) {
case 'en':
/* switch the context */
$modx->switchContext('English');
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']);
}
And the changed part of the .htaccess:
# The Friendly URLs part
# redirect all requests to /de/favicon.ico and /nl/favicon.ico
# to /favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(de|en)/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 ^(de|en)/assets(.*)$ assets$2 [L,QSA]
# redirect all other requests to /de/* and /nl/*
# to index.php and set the cultureKey parameter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(de|en)?/?(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]
PHP Version 5.2.12-nmm4
Apache 2.0 Handler
MySQL Version 5.1.63-nmm1-log
MODx Revolution 2.2.0-pl2 (traditional)
MacOS 10.6.8
Safari 5.0.5
Any help is appreciated,
