Frontpage behaviour

I also would like to see a solution to these problems - especially the mission statement.

I found out the answer to the mission statement problem (and having different site titles for each language).

http://drupal.org/node/65271

Basically add this to /sites/default/settings.php

$conf['i18n_variables'] = array(
        // Site configuration
        'site_name',
        'site_slogan',
        'site_mission',
        'site_footer',
        'anonymous'
);

The best place to put it is right after some other code (otherwise if you are not careful it will be commented out).

Once you add that, just go to the admin and system settings in each language and change the things you want - they will be saved for that language only!

I wish this was made a little more clear for people like me...maybe I will make a guide, since all the helps out there are for "techys"

Next, I am going to figure out how to get the language links out of the languages block...

Just to keep this alive & current ...

I installed a most recent (June 3rd) version of i18n module and I have the frontpage bug, where the site_mission isn't translated.

I had a look at the code, but I'll have to look again and for a lot longer to find anything usefull... maybe next weekend.

Just checked ... this (at least the problem with the mission statement) is in 4.7 version as well.

I have the same setting as sungkhum in my site and it works, http://www.reyero.net

Please, review your settings and make sure you have set up a value for each language, in the settings pages.

I have setup i18n as instructed, added the variables to settings.php and provided values for my two translations... this approach used to work for me (and apparently is currently working for Jose) but I too am experiecing the problem with the mission statement.

I can confirm the problem with the mission statement.

this problem about going back to default language homepage is reported many times (eg. http://drupal.org/node/70547), i just checked reyero.net and it has it too. when i go to e.g. http://www.reyero.net/en/node/128 (non-default EN language page) and click the site title or the breadcrumb home link they go back to reyero.net with default spanish page even though i was on an english one. language should be kept even when returning to the front page (and I dont mean separate front pages or front page module, i mean /en/node or en/node)

the problem with the mission statement has to do with the template system

even with 'site_frontpage' in the settings.php under the language variables I cannot seem to get one front page for each language and thus not independent mission statements.

Jose - are you using the phptemplate theme engine ?

No, I'm not using phptemplate and yes, it could be related with the templating system, maybe with how it checks for the front page..

About the link from the logo, this is usually kind of hardcoded in the theme and there isn't too much we can do about it without patching Drupal core...

Unfortunately this does not seem to work for me - are you on Drupal 4.7.2 ?

I got it! Combining the above and changing path.inc line 200 to:
return $_GET['q'] == variable_get('site_frontpage', 'node');

I just had a look and it's been fixed in cvs. Hopefully this will find it's way in 4.7.3...

I can confirm that the solution in #16 solves the problem.

Thanks

The solution in #16 WITHOUT the code in #14 works for me. i.e. only the change to path.inc.

Can this be correct?

If it works - it works!

Sorry if this feels like a stupid question... I have this problem of front page not matching selected language but only the default one and found possible solutions here. Here is the stupid question: I am loong for this template.php file to apply the code found in #14 but I can't find it anywhere, Where would it be? I looked into settings.php and the path seems to be ok.

Sylvain

Have a look here...

I am using drupal 4.7.2.

For me the solution in #16 without code in #14 can solves the problem about the site mission on the frontpage.

But the problem still exists about going back to its own frontpage from different language pages. It always go to the English frontpage as clicking the site logo, or the site name of any other language, or breadcrumb home link of any other language.

Any solution for going back to its own language frontpage by click site logos, or site names, or home links?

Don't think this should be closed because none of the proposed solutions fixes issue #1:

1. Clicking on site name always goes to mysite.com, not to mysite.com/{en|cs} (as it was in 4.6). As a result, clicking on site name means it switches do default language every time. I think is would be better to keep selected language - many people use clicking to site name to navigate to frontpage.

bringing this up, we dont seem to have any duplicate of this issue.

apparently the rule stated here http://drupal.org/node/70194 doesn't work, at least for who is using phptemplate engine.
"Custom home page for each language
Set up your home page in administer>settings, i.e. 'home'
Define a path alias for each language page. I.e. 'es/home', 'en/home'.... "

the issue can be seen even on the module author's home page: http://www.reyero.net/
