Change the way to choose language

[belliash]

Hi,


How can i force Elxis to use language that user has set in his profile, or default (english) if none set, or not logged in, instead of cookie based module?


Thanks!

You can n't, as the language is being loaded before even Elxis gets connected to the database. So, you don't have the user data to load the proper language. Besides this, I believe that this approach is wrong. Cookie is the best solution.

maybe u should allow ppl to choose from...

The idea behind the "Users preferable language" is users to be able to get messages from the system or from other users in their own language despite the current selected language. Elxis 2008.x can load any language on runtime and change it unlimited times to match each user preferable language.

Example:
Your current selected language is Spanish. You add a content item. Administrator will be notified for this addition not in Spanish, as in other CMSs, but in his preferable language (i.e. italian). Elxis is the only CMS (at least, as far as I know) that can do that.

The system is still in a primary stage. It will be expanded more in the future.
