Sébastien Hordeaux	Wednesday 22 August 2007 6:40:18 am Hello, How can eZ publish display localized information based on user's AcceptLanguage settings in the browser? If it is not possible, is there a way to redirect user to a different site access based on this? Thanks you by advance for any hint :)
Lazaro Ferreira	Wednesday 22 August 2007 9:36:24 am Hi Sebastien You can create a template operator to detect the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, sent by the browser, the following php code get the information : <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']; ?> Then you can program your pagelayout.tpl to redirect based on the operator output, you can create your own redirect operator, or use the one at the contributions Regards Lazaro http://www.mzbusiness.com
Andrey Astakhov	Wednesday 22 August 2007 12:14:21 pm Hello, Sébastien I implemented it so: 1. Update your httpd.conf (or .htaccess) RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^ru.* [NC] RewriteRule (.) - [E=SITEACCESS:siteaccess_ru] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^en. [NC] RewriteRule (.) - [E=SITEACCESS:siteaccess_en] "ru" and "en" are languages of my site. It adds appropriate server variable depending of user Accept-Language. 2. Update your settings/override/site.ini.append MatchOrder=servervar;host ServerVariableName=SITEACCESS HostMatchMapItems[]=www.yoursite.com;siteaccess_default Now users with Accept-Language = ru see siteaccess_ru siteaccess, users with Accept-Language = en* see siteaccess_en siteaccess, any other users see siteaccess_default. You could also change rewriterules to minimize set of rules and with site.ini settings to create other siteaccess matching.

Hello,

Thanks you by advance for any hint :)

Hi Sebastien

You can create a template operator to detect the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, sent by the browser, the following php code get the information :

<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
?>

Then you can program your pagelayout.tpl to redirect based on the operator output, you can create your own redirect operator, or use the one at the contributions

Hello, Sébastien

I implemented it so:

1. Update your httpd.conf (or .htaccess)

        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^ru.* [NC]
        RewriteRule (.*) - [E=SITEACCESS:siteaccess_ru]

        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^en.* [NC]
        RewriteRule (.*) - [E=SITEACCESS:siteaccess_en]

"ru" and "en" are languages of my site.
It adds appropriate server variable depending of user Accept-Language.

2. Update your settings/override/site.ini.append

MatchOrder=servervar;host
ServerVariableName=SITEACCESS
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.yoursite.com;siteaccess_default

Now users with Accept-Language = ru* see siteaccess_ru siteaccess, users with Accept-Language = en* see siteaccess_en siteaccess, any other users see siteaccess_default.

You could also change rewriterules to minimize set of rules and with site.ini settings to create other siteaccess matching.
