Coppermine Language Selection

Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2003 8:43 pm

I'm having problem with the coppermine language detection procedure. I always want it to behave like other modules in my PHPNuke Site.

This is what I just did:

Open your modules/coppermine/include/init.inc.php file
Replace all code after this

Code:

// Process language selection if present in URI or in user profile or try
// autodetection if default charset is utf-8

with this

Code:

// Process language selection if present in URI or in user profile or try
// autodetection if default charset is utf-8

global $currentlang, $language;

if (file_exists("modules/coppermine/lang/$currentlang.php")) {
$USER['lang'] = $currentlang;
} else {
$USER['lang'] = $language;
}

if (!file_exists("modules/coppermine/lang/{$USER['lang']}.php")) {
if (!file_exists("modules/coppermine/lang/{$CONFIG['lang']}.php")) {
$CONFIG['lang'] = 'english';
}
} else {
$CONFIG['lang'] = $USER['lang'];
}
include "modules/coppermine/lang/{$CONFIG['lang']}.php";

// load the main template
load_template();
?>

Anyone knows better way to handle it please let me know. Wink

I heard it'll be included in the next release of Coppermine PHPNuke Port. Wink

hi all
I've been seeking for a solution but cannot find yet. I've read all forums and solutions. Here is my problem.

When I set the charset to iso-8859-9 in my PHPnuke 7.6 site, it works fine. But when I enter the module coppermine it changes to the utf-8 character encoding.

Here what I've done to prevent this error:
1- checked apache config file -> AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-9
2- checked php.ini file -> default_charset = "iso-8859-9"
3- set coppermine to the turkish language file via config menu
4- set character encoding to turkish (iso-8859-9)
5- change every utf-8 string in the files of the coppermine directory
6- delete every cookies
7- Fresh install

But nothing changes.
Any idea?

I found the problem, it is the turkish.php file. When i trry to edit and save this file. It changes to utf-8 when ireplace the original file with the modified one it works fine. But it does not solve my problem. I need to edit the file but when i try to add even though a space char to the file, it changes to utf-8. I'm using windows xp. Any idea?

Hi, I've solved the problem.
Here it is : open the turkish.php via ultraedit (my favorite editor). Select From file/conversions/unicode to ASCII. It converts the file from unix version to windows (As i understand). Then Edit the file.
My best regards.
