Creating translated content

Monday 11 April 2005 8:07:49 am

Hello,

I'm trying to move pages from a big website to eZ Publish.
I have made an import script that scans my old database, and create Content Objects in folders.
This script works fine, but i'm trying now to import Content Objects <b>with different translations</b>.
I cant find how to create new translations for an ezContentObject.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated ! :)
Thanks.

Here is a part of my import script :

$class =& eZContentClass::fetch( OBJECTCLASSID );
$ContentObject =& $class->instantiate( $user->id(), $sectionID );

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Create a node for the object in the tree.
//----------------------------------------------------------
$nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create( array(
   'contentobject_id' => $ContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
   'contentobject_version' => 1,
   'parent_node' => $parentNodeID,
   'sort_field' => 2, //Published
   'sort_order' => 1, //Descending
   'is_main' => 1));
$nodeAssignment->store();

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Set a status for the content object version.
//----------------------------------------------------------
$ContentObjectVersion =& $ContentObject->version($ContentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ) );
$ContentObjectVersion->setAttribute( 'status', EZ_VERSION_STATUS_DRAFT);
$ContentObjectVersion->store();

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Set attributes of the Page.
//----------------------------------------------------------
$ContentObjectAttributes =& $ContentObjectVersion->contentObjectAttributes();
foreach ($ContentObjectAttributes as $id=>$Attribute)
{
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="title")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "my title here");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="body")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "body of my page");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
}

$ContentObject->store();

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Now publish the object.
//----------------------------------------------------------
include_once ('lib/ezutils/classes/ezoperationhandler.php');
$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute(
   'content',
   'publish',
   array( 
      'object_id' => $ContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
      'version'   => $ContentObject->attribute('current_version' ) 
   ) 
);

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Fine, my page is now created !
// But how can I create a translation for it ?
// I havent seen public methods to create a translation for an object.
// I'm looking for something like:
//
// $translation=$ContentObject->translate("eng-GB");
// $translationAttributes =& $translation->contentObjectAttributes();
// (...)

Yes, sure ! Here is my code :

$class =& eZContentClass::fetch( OBJECTCLASSID );
$ContentObject =& $class->instantiate( $user->id(), $sectionID );

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Create a node for the object in the tree.
//----------------------------------------------------------
$nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create( array(
   'contentobject_id' => $ContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
   'contentobject_version' => 1,
   'parent_node' => $parentNodeID,
   'sort_field' => 2, //Published
   'sort_order' => 1, //Descending
   'is_main' => 1));
$nodeAssignment->store();

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Set a status for the content object version.
//----------------------------------------------------------
$ContentObjectVersion =& $ContentObject->version($ContentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ) );
$ContentObjectVersion->setAttribute( 'status', EZ_VERSION_STATUS_DRAFT);
$ContentObjectVersion->store();

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Set attributes of the Page for the default language
//----------------------------------------------------------
$ContentObjectAttributes =& $ContentObjectVersion->contentObjectAttributes();
foreach ($ContentObjectAttributes as $id=>$Attribute)
{
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="title")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "my title here");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="body")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "body of my page");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
}

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Set attributes of the Page for another language (french)
//----------------------------------------------------------
foreach ($ContentObjectAttributes as $id=>$Attribute)
{
   $Attribute =& $attribute->translateTo( "fre-FR" );
   $Attribute->sync();
}
$contentObject->store();

$translatedAttributes =& $contentObjectVersion->contentObjectAttributes("fre-FR");
foreach ($translatedAttributes as $id=>$Attribute)
{
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="title")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "mon titre ici");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
   if($Attribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier")=="body")
   {
      $Attribute->setAttribute("data_text", "le contenu de ma page");
      $Attribute->store();
   }
}
$ContentObject->store();

//You can do this for each language you want to translate your object.

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Now publish the object.
//----------------------------------------------------------
include_once ('lib/ezutils/classes/ezoperationhandler.php');
$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute(
   'content',
   'publish',
   array( 
      'object_id' => $ContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
      'version'   => $ContentObject->attribute('current_version' ) 
   ) 
);
