Hi Folks

I was trying custom my frontpage with i18n. (with tpl.php files) I read a lot of things in special http://drupal.org/node/134003

But unfortunately didn't work for me.

So I created this snippet to use in page.tpl.php . I am not sure will work in production site because my website isn't finished.

I will appreciate comments and know if is working well.

<?php
if (arg(0)=="admin" && i18n_get_lang() == 'en') {
  include('page-default.tpl.php');
  return;
}
elseif (arg(0)=="admin" && i18n_get_lang() == 'it') {
  include('page-default.tpl.php');
  return;
}
 /* repeat to all languages */
elseif (arg(0)=="node" && arg(1)=="add" && arg(2)=="mycck" && i18n_get_lang() == 'en') {
  include('page-mycck.tpl.php');
  return;
}
elseif (arg(0)=="node" && arg(1)=="add" && arg(2)=="mycck" && i18n_get_lang() == 'pt') {
  include('page-mycck.tpl.php');
  return;
}
elseif (arg(0)=="node" && arg(1)=="add" && arg(2)=="mycck" && i18n_get_lang() == 'it') {
  include('page-mycck.tpl.php');
  return;
}
 /* repeat to all languages, and insert all paths of drupal */

elseif (i18n_get_lang() == 'en') {include('front-en.tpl.php');return;}
elseif (i18n_get_lang() == 'it') {include('front-it.tpl.php');return;}
elseif (i18n_get_lang() == 'pt') {include('front-pt.tpl.php');return;}
elseif (i18n_get_lang() == 'fr') {include('front-fr.tpl.php');return;}
else
include 'page-default.tpl.php'; /*if none of the above applies, load the page-default.tpl.php by macm */
    return;
?>

Regards

You can include in your settings.php (sites/default)

'site_frontpage' in your $conf['i18n_variables']

then go to: /admin/settings/site-information and apply a different node per language by switching languages within this page. Works as expected, and no need for coding anything.

In my page-front.tpl.php i'm using this:

global $language;
if(arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
	$fnid = arg(1); #get current nid (frontpage nid)
	#$fnid = '12';
	$nl = $node; # replace with node_load($fnid);
	$nt = module_invoke('translation', 'node_get_translations', $nl->tnid);
	foreach($nt as $l)
		if ($l->language == $language->language) $t_fnid = $l->nid;
	$fpath = drupal_lookup_path('alias', 'node/'.$t_fnid);
	#print '$nid = '.$t_fnid.'//'.$fnid.' // $fpath = '.$fpath;
	if ($fnid != $t_fnid) {
		drupal_goto($fpath);
	} else {
		require_once("page.tpl.php");
	}
} else {
	require_once("page.tpl.php");
}

If you are on the front page node (main frontpage declared in site-configuration), it displays the content of page.tpl.php, else you are redirected to the translated version of the that node.

this snippet is dynamic, and you simply add it to any theme and it works, you have a drupal i18n front-page
