Hi again,

Alternatively does anyone know where in the kernel contentobjects and written to the database and loaded from the database because then I could modify the code so that users were always saved in the same language (which might solve the problem).

thanks again

Hi, and thanks for the reply. Have you any idea when they intend to work on it? Otherwise I may have to code my own login handler, which is a bit daunting!

thanks

Hi Paul,

Have been having a look around and thought that maybe I could put a switch in the register.php class to set the default language after it had gone through instantiating the new object instance i.e.

// Create new user object if user is not logged in
$user =& eZUser::currentUser();
if ( !$user->isLoggedIn() and !$http->hasSessionVariable( "RegisterUserID" ) )
{
    $ini =& eZINI::instance();

    $defaultUserPlacement = $ini->variable( "UserSettings", "DefaultUserPlacement" );

    $userClassID = $ini->variable( "UserSettings", "UserClassID" );
    $class =& eZContentClass::fetch( $userClassID );

    $userCreatorID = $ini->variable( "UserSettings", "UserCreatorID" );	
    $defaultSectionID = $ini->variable( "UserSettings", "DefaultSectionID" );
	
    // Create object by user 14 in section 1
    $contentObject =& $class->instantiate( $userCreatorID, $defaultSectionID );
    $objectID = $contentObject->attribute( 'id' );

SOMEWHERE HERE?

    // Store the ID in session variable
    $http->setSessionVariable( "RegisterUserID", $objectID );

    $userID = $objectID;

    $nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create( array('contentobject_id' => $contentObject->attribute( 'id' ), 
                                                       'contentobject_version' => 1, 
                                                       'parent_node' => $defaultUserPlacement, 
                                                       'is_main' => 1 ) ); 
    $nodeAssignment->store();
}
else if ( $http->hasSessionVariable( "RegisterUserID" ) )
{
    $userID = $http->sessionVariable( "RegisterUserID" );
}
else
{
    $userID = $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' );
}

but after tracking the code all the way through I still can't find where the default language is set. Any hints?

Would I be correct in thinking that I don't need a new login handler because I only need to set the language the first time?

cheers

Joe,

I'll take a look later today if thats okay. In the mean time i found another relevant bug, i believe:

Hey Joe,

I've started to dig into the code a little and having found that last bug entry im now inclined to think that this is a little more difficult to do. From a custom code point of view anyway. If the bug report is right the user *must* be translated into the new language before editing. This isnt the same as object creation. The code for translation is all embedded into a module view, which is a little hard to use - its not an easy php function :(

However, there may be a very quick workaround. I want to try a proof of concept first if thats ok. In your register.tpl can you test this line?

{let current_user=fetch( user, current_user )}
<form id="Translate" method="post" action="{concat('/content/translate/', $current_user.contentobject_id,'/',sum(1,$current_user.current_version))}"><a href="{"javascript:document.getElementById('Translate').submit();"}">Translate user</a></form>
{/let}

What this should do is, when clicked, take you to the translations page, so the user can be translated into the correct language. Then it should be editable.

You might need to tweak permissions to get this to work from the user side.

If this doesnt work try this code. Im not 100% on correct object version to use....

{let current_user=fetch( user, current_user )}
<form id="Translate" method="post" action="{concat('/content/translate/', $current_user.contentobject_id,'/',$current_user.current_version)}"><a href="{"javascript:document.getElementById('Translate').submit();"}">Translate user</a></form>
{/let}

Hope this makes sense ;)
