Language Fixation: PHP-NUKE 7.9 and 7.9.3.1

PHP-Nuke 7.9 and 7.9.3.1 has a tiny but cute bug in handling multilingual processing.

Symptom: After setting up your site with phpnuke 7.9 or 7.9.3.1, you will get an message as follows:

Code:




Warning: main(language/lang-.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\phpNuke\www\dev.nukekorea.net\nk79standard\mainfile.php on line 269





Warning: main(): Failed opening 'language/lang-.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\apachefriends\xampp\php\pear\') in F:\phpNuke\www\dev.nukekorea.net\nk79standard\mainfile.php on line 269

Reason: The very first access to the phpnuke 7.9 or 7.9.3.1 does HAVE empty $language variable which is assumed to have "english" as a default. This means that $language = "english" when there is no preference setup in your admin CP. So, select "English" or "other your language" in [Language] block, it will disappear. Still, you will see the warning messages as you access your PHP-Nuke 7.9 (or 7.9.3.1) site with different web-browser now that it does not have a proper language cookie value.

How to fix (in MOD instructional format):

Code:




#


# ------- [ OPEN ] --------


#


<nuke-root>/mainfile.php





#


# ------- [ FIND ] ---------


#


if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


   if (isset($newlang) AND !stripos_clone($newlang,".")) {


      if (file_exists("language/lang-".$newlang.".php")) {


         setcookie("lang",$newlang,time()+31536000);


         include_once("language/lang-".$newlang.".php");


         $currentlang = $newlang;


      } else {


         setcookie("lang",$language,time()+31536000);


         include_once("language/lang-".$language.".php");


         $currentlang = $language;


      }


   } elseif (isset($lang)) {


      include_once("language/lang-".$lang.".php");


      $currentlang = $lang;


   } else {


      setcookie("lang",$language,time()+31536000);


      include_once("language/lang-".$language.".php");


      $currentlang = $language;


   }


}





#


# ------- [ FIND, INLINE ] ---------


#


   } else {


      setcookie("lang",$language,time()+31536000);





#


# ------- [ AFTER, ADD ] ----------


#


      if (empty($language))


      {


         $language = "english";


      };





#


# ------- [ SAVE ] -------------------


#


mainfile.php





#


# -------- [ EOF: End Of Fixation ] ------------
