Multi-Language Support for EZ-Pages

I tried hard to get this multilanguage support for ezpages running.

First everything was easy. I took the download from Jun 09 2006 and installed everything as it was written in the ReadMe.

In admin I found the possibility to have a translation into my second language.

On the shopside there wasn't shown the translation that I made in the admin.

The TOC and the foot navigation disappeared when I switched to the second language.

Then I tried to make several changes in ezpages_bar_header as it was told in this thread before.

The result was that my page didn't built up at all except of the logo.

Now I deinstalled the ezpages in the admin and tried to reinstall but it doesn't work. After installation now I don't even have the possibility to fill in the second language on the admin side.

Edit: I downloaded the last update from Oct 14 2006 but in this zip-file I couldn't find any folders and so I don't know where to put the different files with the same name.

Can anybody give me a hint what I could try next?

This problem is fixed, cause I found the right ezpages.php to load on the server before the reinstallation of the mod.

Another problem is solved but not in a very nice way.

The disappearing top and foot menus when I switched to second language was because of an error in the database query.

The variable TABLE_EZPAGES_TEXT wasn't resolved by the system and so the table ezpages_content couldn't be found.

Now I helped myself by hardcoding ezpages_content into the the query of ezpages_bar_header.php and ezpages_bar_footer.

Maybe someone can tell me about a more elegant way to solve this problem?

At least there is still one point left. The content of my multilanguage ezpages is still taken from the wrong table (ezpages instead of ezpages_content).

Where do I have to make the change in the query or in which file I should search or replace?

THX for your help!

I'm sorry, but again me.

I forgot to put header_php.php from update package multilanguage_ezpages_1.3.0.5v2.zip onto the server.

Then after hardcoding again the database table in this file it works fine.

THX, hope you didn't feel too much disturbed by my posts ;-)

Does anybody know anything?

Hey every body great mod. I just wanted to let people know that I just merged it w/ zen cart 1.3.7.01. and submited it to the down loads section. Its not up yet. but I would forget to post about it if I waited.
This mod will make it so that it will work w/ what ever WYSIWIG you want to use
you can see it in action at vitalityrainforest.com

Lets bug the admins to make this a standard part of the code base for a next release.

Would be sooo nice, if they would do so! :cool:

I just was sent an email telling me that the mod is live at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=113

Hi,

I have just downloaded the contribution and dropped in the php files as directed.

When I try to run the tools/create option to create the database file, it returns me to the admin log-in page without creating the file. No error message!

Can anyone help.

Please post you zen cart version as well as PHP and Mysql version that is on your server. it will enable people to help you better.

Hi,

Zencart: 1.3.7

PHP: 4.4.7
MYSQL: 4.1.20
Hosted on HOSTEXCELLENCE.com
IIS

System is located in a sub directory http://www.nutrisearch.eu/shop/ were we are trying to build a 4-language cart.

Thanks.

Hi.

I've had this to a few times.
Most of the times i would login again and logout immediately. Reset my browser cache and login again and then it would work.

I think you are loosing your session somehow.

Maybe you could try different url. like shop.com or https://www.shop.com.

Are you using SSL?

Ronald.

Hi Ronald,

Your onto something - I cleared the cache, and tried from different computers without success - BUT - there is no session info! Normally when hover over a link you see the link + session. In my case - sessions for all except the ex-pages multilanguage. eg

https://www.nutrisearch.eu/shop/admin/ezpages_install.php?action=install

Thanks
Terry

Hi
Maybe there is something in .htaccess that is rewritting or something?
Do you have any other mods installed?
Is there any info to be found in the php errorlog?
Ronald.

In my experince when you get booted back to the login page it is the ZC admins ver of a 404 error. you should check that all the muiti lingual files were uploaded properly, w/ the correct permissions. (644 should be good)

I don't get this thing :blink:

I downloaded the latest, had not add a ez-page yet, thinking it would be better to first mod the cart knowing it would be possible to make it multilingual. It went wrong right there. some weird codes of empty tables (sorry forgot to copy the code)

Then added some ez-pages. Have clicked all options back and forth from install to uninstall and also the fix button. But nothing seems to work. The link is not visible and now content from one ez pages comes back in another ezpage.

what is wrong with this mod :shocking:

uninstalling and installing again, the link apeared. Then I changed the (translate) titles and content. Saved the file and the links disappear again. ?

Ok the full story:

I started with this download:
http://www.nevjwebdesign.com/zen_mod...ge_ezpages.zip at the beginning of this topic.

Again I had not made any ez-pages, thinking it would be better to mod it first.

I dropped this SQL in the tools > sql patches:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ezpages_content;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ezpages_content (
pages_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
languages_id int(11) NOT NULL default '1',
pages_title varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
pages_html_text text NOT NULL,
KEY idx_ezpages_content (pages_id,languages_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

#################

This next section copies your page titles and content across from the existing ezpages table into the new ezpages_content table

#NEXT_X_ROWS_AS_ONE_COMMAND:3
INSERT INTO ezpages_content (pages_id, pages_title, pages_html_text)
SELECT pages_id, pages_title, pages_html_text
FROM ezpages;

After that. I could not make ezpages at all, and it came with probably this error:

1146 Table 'lagomera_zc1.zen_ezpages_content' doesn't exist
in:
[select count(*) as total from zen_ezpages e, zen_ezpages_content et where e.pages_id = et.pages_id and et.languages_id = '1']
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

This is also the message I get, after uninstalling the new mod.

What I did after my first install, is download the mod, that is available in the downloads section at the zencart site. Installed that one and now it is not working anymore.

Does anyone know a solution? Uninstalling brings me back to the message 1146... installing makes the ezpages invisible...

Hi NRG!

Look into your database if there is the table "ezpages_content" that you should have installed with your SQL-statement.

Before you go any further you should make a backup of your database. You should do this all the time, when you want to make changes. Maybe you still have one from the time before you started to implement the multi-language support for EZ-Pages.

Rename the table with "lagomera_zc1.zen_ezpages_content" and then do this via the SQL-interface:

This next section copies your page titles and content across from the existing ezpages table into the new lagomera_zc1.zen_ezpages_content table

#NEXT_X_ROWS_AS_ONE_COMMAND:3
INSERT INTO lagomera_zc1.zen_ezpages_content (pages_id, pages_title, pages_html_text)
SELECT pages_id, pages_title, pages_html_text
FROM ezpages;

Maybe this will help you. But no guarantee from my side.

:blush:

Smartsoul

it's time for me to learn how that works! I have no idea how to look into the database. So far I managed to install it all and get it working. I do make backups. So I'll surf the web and expand my knowledge on this subject. thanks for the suggestions Smartsoul :)

I installed the newst Multipages from the download section on my 1.3.7 shop. Now the admin area has got the old ezpages as I created them + the (translate me). So I translated a few of my pages, and what happens, is that the links in the header diappear! Will this go away when all pages are translated or is there more to this?

Go to http://www.ecuras.fi/zencart to see the missing links.

The links are also missing in all three languages after updating the translated ezpages. The first link should be 'Home' and the 5th should be Services. The others I haven't started to translate yet since I noticed that the links in the header disappeared, so they have the Finnish link texts and content, since the multilingual ezpages put all content as english, though all content was finnish by 'default'.:blink:
