Hi,

Has anyone delevoped a mechanism in eZ to store the last viewed language on a site?

The senerio for use would be a anonymous spanish visitors sets spanish as his language and whenver he comes back to the site then the language would default to spanish.

Any thoughts anyone?

Hi,

You can use JavaScript with cookies
Cookie: Name1=value1; Name2=value2;
Check the cookie and redirct user to right language

function createCookie(name,value,days)
{
        if (days)
        {
                var date = new Date();
                date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
                var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
        }
        else var expires = "";
        document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

function readCookie(name)
{
        var nameEQ = name + "=";
        var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
        for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++)
        {
                var c = ca[i];
                while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
                if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
        }
        return null;
}

function eraseCookie(name)
{
        createCookie(name,"",-1);
}

I found this in network ...

Thanks Luke. Wouldn't it be nice to have this in eZ by default? then we would not have to do a js check on very page load...

From the documentation of the functionality : <i>If the user is not logged in the preferences is stored in sesssion.</i>

So it should work for anonymous users.

That is a really good point :) Thanks

Can you give me a hint as to the code location and what sort of code would you use to inact the language change.
