Thread: Installation help

Hi I found your script and was wanting to clarify an installation thing

I followed all your directions in the readme and then when it came to this part

Place the links from one of the flag files somewhere on your web page

what is the link and what am I linking to, where is the flags files?

Also in the lang folder should there be anything else other than a .htaccess file like some othere languages.

I have the latest download you posted on your site as well.

Thanks in advance.

You can find sample links in the include directory. For Google translate, use flags-google.shtml as an example of what your links should look like.

Nope, that's all you need in there.

Just one other question so far.

will it work if all my file extensions are .htm

Yes. You have to specify file extensions which you want it not to translate.

Something is wrong here with this. It can't find the language files it says they are not on the server

here is my test page Graham's Computers and Web Design

When I see the ">, it usually means that Apache is not executing PHP code inside HTML files.

You'll probably need to put a line like this in the .htaccess file in this domains DocumentRoot:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

is that something I can do or do I need my webhost to do it.
If I can do it wheich .htaccess file is it as there is many in your script

I also notice that "> is the extra part on your sample script, coudl it be that it is incorrect there

here is the souce of your code you can see it

Code:

                        
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
<table width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="/lang/en<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/american.jpg" alt="English"></a> </td>
<td><a href="/lang/de<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/german.jpg" alt="German"></a> </td>
<td><a href="/lang/es<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/spanish.jpg" alt="Spanish"></a> </td>
<td><a href="/lang/fr<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/french.jpg" alt="French"></a> </td>
<td><a href="/lang/it<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/italian.jpg" alt="Italian"></a> </td>
<td><a href="/lang/pt<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>"><img src="/graphics/portuguese.jpg" alt="Portuguese"></a> </td>

The main .htaccess file for your web site.

Hi again Will, I follow this post because I have the "> issue; I solved from httpd.conf with this line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml .html .htm ; don't know why the same line in the .htaccess in my root directory and any directory doesn't work

Now, if you take a look at this link:
http://www.e-radiocontrol.com.ar/inc...s-google.shtml

The "> is gone and the redirection is implemented. But... when you click in any flag, ther was a wrong redirection? wath is wrong here?

http://www.e-radiocontrol.com.ar/lan...s-google.shtml

Always have a "Not Found".... of course I created the subdirs lang/it/

Thanks in advance

I'm confused. It looks like the links are pointing to the wrong places?

The German flag points to http://www.e-radiocontrol.com.ar/lan...s-google.shtml

Instead, it should point to <?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>.

Here's how to do that:

Code:

<li><a href="/lang/de<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>">German<img src="/images/de.png" width="16" height="11" alt="German"></a></li>
