you'll have to create a custom header, see http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9863.msg44419#msg44419 and various other threads that explain this.

Hi,
I have already changed gallery theme header and footer to my website theme..

But my question is i have 2 images "ar-header.jpg" and "en-header.jpg" and default language is english so i m showing "en-header.jpg" and when i 'll select labgauge as Arabic i want to show "ar-header.jpg"

As in the url i m not always getting "lang=English or Arabaic" variable so i could use it show the proper images..!

I tried to solve this way but it dont knwo that much...help me.

template.html: Inserted this code on the page top

Code Select Expand

{MY_HEADER}

theme.php:

Code Select Expand


function pageheader($section, $meta = '')
{
    global $CONFIG, $THEME_DIR;
    global $template_header, $lang_charset, $lang_text_dir;

    $charset = ($CONFIG['charset'] == 'language file') ? $lang_charset : $CONFIG['charset'];

    header('P3P: CP="CAO DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV INT DEM PRE"');
    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=$charset");
    user_save_profile();


Now i want some code here to know what is my current langauge......something like this

Code Select Expand



// Store current languge in this variable
$current_language= ????????????;

if ($current_language=="English")
{
       //Set Arabic Header
       $my_header_img = "ar_header.jpg";
}
else
{
       //Set English Header
      $my_header_img = "en_header.jpg";
}



Now i can send this filename to template.htm

Code Select Expand



$template_vars = array('{LANG_DIR}' => $lang_text_dir,
        '{TITLE}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'] . ' - ' . $section,
        '{CHARSET}' => $charset,
        '{META}' => $meta,
        '{GAL_NAME}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'],
'{MY_HEADER}' => $my_header_img,
        '{GAL_DESCRIPTION}' => $CONFIG['gallery_description'],
        '{MAIN_MENU}' => theme_main_menu(),
        '{ADMIN_MENU}' => theme_admin_mode_menu(),
        );

    echo template_eval($template_header, $template_vars);
}


Now here i want only one value somehaw

Code Select Expand


$current_language= ?????????;


I dont know whether i m right or not but pls tell me how to solve this..

thankx,

you'll have to do as I suggested and then add an if/then switch that checks the user's selected language. Check for $USER['lang']

[azzu5]

i am not getting any value in this $USER['lang']   

[Joachim Müller]

did you make $USER global?

[azzu5]

Ok now i got the value

But still there is something wrong..

Now when i changed language from Dropdown selection..... in $USER['lang'] only "english" value is showing not arabic or any other.

Ho wi'll know current language after changing from dropdown list..

Regards,

[Joachim Müller]

try $_GET['lang']

[azzu5]

Geting only once after selecting from dropdown

/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastcom&cat=0&lang=english

but when i go to another page

/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0

"lang=" is not there in the url...!

where is the languge is stored..? in the cookies..?

[Joachim Müller]

where is the languge is stored..? in the cookies..?

yes

[azzu5]

I checked the cookies also..but i think that is also encrypted..cant acces that..!

is there any way to solve my problem..pls

thankx

I don't have the coppermine source code available at the computer I'm typing this reply at. I suggest you review the vars and constants defined in include/init.inc.php, there should be one that holds the language. Maybe you'll need to add another if/then switch that checks if the user has chosen a custom language and fallback to the default language if he hasn't.

Hi GauGau,

Finally my problem is Solved 

$USER['lang'] is saving changed language name...

I was getting this value only once..so when i got this value i saved it to the own cookies and then retrived it in theme.php and sent it to template.php and it works fine...

Thanx for your all support and such beatiful gallery..

Cheers
