Multiple language: language edit

[alfaleader]

Hello

I want some help for my multiple language plugin, it's the part where the users should make there own language:

I have an array with in it:
-number (for the $original[x] )
-english text

Now I want to show a form that displays all the english text and a textbox to make the translation (in a table).
But how should I do this?

babelfish makes a button that translates a page.

Babelfish gives bad site translations (it's for word to word translations), this plugin takes care of good translations.

Ok, I decided not to use the .tpl files. But now I need help for another thing:

PHP Code:

<?php
//Check if called by script
if(THT != 1){die();}

class page {
    
    public $navtitle;
    public $navlist = array();
                            
    public function __construct() {
        $this->navtitle = "Language Sub Menu";
        $this->navlist[] = array("Change Language", "world.png", "changel");
        $this->navlist[] = array("Edit Language", "lock.png", "editl");
        $this->navlist[] = array("New Language", "user_red.png", "newl");
    }
    
    public function description() {
        return "<strong>Language Settings</strong><br />
        Here you can change your THT language. You can edit a language or create a new one...<br />
        To get started, choose a link from the sidebar's SubMenu.";    
    }
    
    public function content() {
        global $main;
        global $style;
        global $db;
        if($_POST) {
            foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) {
                if($value == "" && !$n) { //if something is empty, do this
                    $main->errors("Please fill in all the fields!");
                    $n++;
                }
            } //stop foreach
            
            if(!$n) { //if everything is ok, do this
                foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) {
                    $db->updateConfig($key, $value);
                }
                $main->errors("Language Updated!");
                $main->done();
            }
        }
        switch($main->getvar['sub']) { //look if something is clicked in the SubMenu
            default:
                $array['NAME'] = $db->config("name");
                $array['URL'] = $db->config("url");
                $values[] = array("Admin Area", "admin");
                $values[] = array("Order Form", "order");
                $values[] = array("Client Area", "client");
                $array['DROPDOWN'] = $main->dropDown("default", $values, $db->config("default"));
                echo $style->replaceVar("tpl/pathsettings.tpl", $array);
                break;
                
            case "changel": #change your language
                $folder = '../includes/language';
                if ($handle = opendir($folder)) { # Open the folder
                    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { # Read the files
                            if($file != "." && $file != ".." ) { # Check aren't these names
                            $values[] = array($file, $file);
                        }
                    }
                }
                closedir($handle); #Close the folder
                $array['LANGUAGE'] = $main->dropDown("language", $values, $db->config("theme")); #set to LANGUAGE a dropbox with all the languages found in the /language folder
                echo $style->replaceVar("tpl/languagesettings.tpl", $array); #replace %LANGUAGE% to a dropbox + output
                break; 


(Just took it from settings.php)

The part i don't understand that good:

PHP Code:

if(!$n) {
                foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) {
                    $db->updateConfig($key, $value);
                }
                $main->errors("Settings Updated!");
                $main->done();
            }
        } 


Is the if(!$n) to update the database with the new settings? But how do you can use multiple types (like language edit, language create)

PHP Code:

        switch($main->getvar['sub']) {
        
            default:
                $array['NAME'] = $db->config("name");
                $array['URL'] = $db->config("url");
                $values[] = array("Admin Area", "admin");
                $values[] = array("Order Form", "order");
                $values[] = array("Client Area", "client");
                $array['DROPDOWN'] = $main->dropDown("default", $values, $db->config("default"));
                echo $style->replaceVar("tpl/pathsettings.tpl", $array);
                break; 


And why is the default: thing for? (the default display is the description, why this default?)

PHP Code:

case "edit":
                if(isset($main->getvar['do'])) { 


and why is the $main->getvar['do'] for?
Thanks!

Just thing $main->getvar as $_GET and $main->postvar as $_POST. Just they're SQL Cleaned.

I wouldn't use settings.php as an example, look at something like servers.

[Jimmie]

Let me explain that !$n part

PHP Code:

if(!$n) { # Searches for $n, I don't know what it is but anyway
                foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) { # Foreach loop, checks $key value.
                    $db->updateConfig($key, $value); # So it updates config name $key to $value
                }
                $main->errors("Settings Updated!"); # Returns updated msg
                $main->done(); # Finished. Yay!
            }
        }

I understand now mostly everything,
(except the $n variable , and jimmie also doesn't know why it's for, but I'll use it without knowing why it's for )

Now I have this:
/admin/language.php

PHP Code:

<?php
//Check if called by script
if(THT != 1){die();}

class page {
    
    public $navtitle;
    public $navlist = array();
                            
    public function __construct() {
        $this->navtitle = "Language Sub Menu";
        $this->navlist[] = array("Change Language", "world.png", "changel");
        $this->navlist[] = array("Edit Language", "lock.png", "editl");
        $this->navlist[] = array("New Language", "user_red.png", "newl");
    }
    
    public function description() {
        return "<strong>Language Control Center</strong><br />
        This is where you control the THT Language. You can change your THT language, edit a language or evan make your own new language<br />
        To get started, choose a link from the sidebar's SubMenu.";    
    }
    
    public function content() { # Displays the page 
        global $main;
        global $style;
        global $db;
        if($_POST) {
            foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) {
                if($value == "" && !$n) {
                    $main->errors("Please fill in all the fields!");
                    $n++;
                }
            }
            if(!$n) {
                foreach($main->postvar as $key => $value) {
                    $db->updateConfig($key, $value);
                }
                $main->errors("Settings Updated!");
                $main->done();
            }
        }
        
        switch($main->getvar['sub']) { #what has the admin clicked in the submenu?

                default: #is it Change Language?
            if($_POST) {
                    foreach ($main->postvar as $key => $value ) { #get the POST variables from the form
                        if($value == "" && !$n) { #checks if everything is filled in
                            $main->errors("Please fill in all the fields!");
                            $n++;
                        }
                    }
                if(!$n) { #if everything is filled in, do this:
                $db->updateConfig('language', $main->postvar['changel']); # So it updates config name $key to $value
                $main->errors("Language Changed!"); # Returns updated msg
                $main->done(); # Finished. Yay!
                }
            }

                #gets all the languages from the /language folder (for the output form)
                $folder = '../includes/language';
                    if ($handle = opendir($folder)) { # Open the folder
                        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { # Read the files
                                if($file != "." && $file != ".." ) { # Check aren't these names
                                $values[] = array($file, $file);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    closedir($handle); #Close the folder
                    
                #output the form for changing language, this has to be outputtet always, even as the language is just changed
                $array['LANGUAGE'] = $main->dropDown("language", $values, $db->config("theme"));
                $array['CURRENTLANGUAGE'] = $db->config('language');
                echo $style->replaceVar("tpl/changelanguage.tpl", $array);
                
                break;
                
            
        }
    }
}
?>

/includes/tpl/changelanguage.tpl

PHP Code:

<ERRORS>
<form id="settings" name="settings" method="post" action="">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="20%"><p>Current language: %CURRENTLANGUAGE%</p>
      <p>Change Language:</p></td>
    <td>
      %LANGUAGE%    <a title="Choose your language." class="tooltip"><img src="<URL>themes/icons/information.png" /></a>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="add" id="add" value="Change Language" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form> 


The problem is that it won't update the language to the database if I choose another language. What's my mistake?

[Jonny]

The $n is defined in the previous foreach look that cycles through all the posts and check if all the fields are filled. If not n will be defined and the amount of boxes not filled will be $n.

[alfaleader]

Thanks, now I almost finished the edit language and I have to do the new language.

[Jimmie]

Do you have any updates on this?
