NSN Center 4 Blocks (different languages)

New Member Joined: Oct 09, 2006 Posts: 1

Hey,

I can't get my language correct for the title of the different boxes.
In the administration of NSN, you can give a title to the box, but since i work with different languages, i really want the title to have dirrent languages...

I've tried to put in TITLEBLOCK1, _TITLEBLOCK1, ._TITLEBLOCK1 and "._TITLEBLOCK1.". But none of it worked.
The TITLEBLOCK is defined in \languages\lang-dutch.php and \languages\lang-french.php.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

brononi, first of all welcome to RavenPHPScripts!

Unfortunately, PHP-Nuke requires a bit of work to get it to do this. Here are the steps (we will use the User Info block as an example to support both English and German):

1) Make sure in Preferences you have the "Activate Multilingual features? " option set to "yes"

2) For each language that you wish to support, create a new block file. In our example, you would create an exact copy of block-User_Info.php to maybe something like this block-User_Info_GE.php.

3) Now both blocks will show up in the block list. Add "User Info" and give it the language of English. Give it an English title that you want.

4) Then come back and Add "User Info GE" and give it the language of German. Give it a German title that you want.

5) Repeat these steps for each block.

If the block itself is written properly to be multilingual, then you just need to replicate each one for each language.

Now, when a user is logged in and changes their language, they will see the appropriate block.

BTW, if you want to remove languages from showing up on your site (i.e., maybe you don't care to support them), just remove the corresponding language files.

Hope this helps.
