Hi,

i need more than 30 languages.

I have changed the language_id fields to bigint and changed the constant, that limited the amount of languages. Is there anything else I have to change?

Thanx in advance.

greetz Andi.

There is one instance where it is hardcoded. Below you will find the patch I used, it covers 3 files. There may be others I have missed; I have not tested this much, but it seemed to work fine.

It's good you're testing this. If you are successful it would be great if you could create an enhancement request in the issue tracker, with your patches.

Maybe implicit in the previous posts, but you will have to compile php in 64 bit mode

Can someone make a feature request out of this?

We need this sooner or later anyway.

Hi,
is there a patch for eZ Publish version 3.9.4?

In version 3.9.4 the method eZContentLanguage->sqlFilter() also needs some modifications in order to support more than 30 languages.

Unfortunately there is not inline documentation about the language_mask handling.

Best regards
Stefan

Is there a solution since 2009 ? Apply a patch to DB and kernel is it a good solution ?

My blog : http://www.llaumgui.com (not in eZ Publish ;-))
eZC on RHEL : http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en
eZC on Fedora : just "yum install php-channel-ezc"
