Hi, I use the following method for multi language approach:
http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative

a lot of stuff works fine, but when it comes to pagination with a different language than the default, it generates a different link

so here’s my pagination code:
(nothing fancy)

{paginate}
   {if total_pages > 0}
    <h1>{gv_pages_{cgv_language_code}}</h1>
   {/if}
      <div class="article_pagination">
       <div class="pagination_left">
        {if "{current_page}" == 1}<span class="pagination_deactivated link">{gv_previous_{cgv_language_code}}</span>{/if}{if previous_page}<a href="http://{auto_path}">{gv_previous_{cgv_language_code}}</a>{/if}

        {gv_page_{cgv_language_code}} {current_page} | {total_pages} 
       </div>
       
       <div class="pagination_right">
        {if "{current_page}" == "{total_pages}"} <span class="pagination_deactivated link">{gv_next_{cgv_language_code}}</span>{/if}{if next_page} <a href="http://{auto_path}">{gv_next_{cgv_language_code}}</a>{/if}
 
        {pagination_links}
       </div> 
      </div>
  {/paginate}

without a /[language_identifier_segment] it all works out:

when I am on news and I press on next_entry it displays:
http://www.mysite.ch/news/P2

when I am on news with a different language it displays the following:
http://www.mysite.ch/newsindex.php/P2

somehow a index.php is injected?! and the language identifier is removed…
I have the same code on a different site with EE 2.3.1 and I don’t have a problem there…

I am on version 2.4

actually: where does {auto_path} gets it’s information?

thanks

Hi Stefan,

It looks like you may be using .htaccess to remove index.php ?

If so, you will need a version in each languages’ folder on the server, modified slightly:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        # Removes index.php
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /lang/index.php/$1 [L]

        # If 404s, "No Input File" or every URL returns the same thing
        # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>

Not the addition of /lang in the RewriteRule - where “lang” would be replaced with the name of the subfolder. Place this modified .htaccess in the folder for the additional languages. One for each language.

Does that help?

Cheers,

Hi dan, that’s the exact way I have set up my .htaccess files…

maybe I need to specify, that everything works, exept the {auto_path} variable

{page_uri} is outputting the correct page uri’s (without the language identifier)
{page_url} is outputting the correct url (with the language identifier)
{path="template_group/template"} is working as expected
structure module is outputting the correct urls

it’s just the {auto_path} that is behaving strangely when the page is in a different language…

I am using zoo triggers as well… I tried with zoo triggers deinstalled and installed… it’s all the same!

without a /[language_identifier_segment] it all works out:

again:
when I am on eg.: “/news” and I press on next_entry it displays:
http://www.mysite.ch/news/P2

when I am on “/en/news” and I press on next_entry it displays:
http://www.mysite.ch/newsindex.php/P2 (note, that the language identifier is gone, and index.php/P2 is added

can you reproduce this?

stefan

I just installed AB pagination and it does work with it!
so I’m pretty sure that it must be an EE bug. but I’d like you to confirm it…

so now I just ask you: can you reproduce the above behavior?

cheers
stefan

Hi Stefan,

I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to replicate because I do not have access to Structure or Zoo Triggers. The only way this could be a bug is if the behavior persists without those add-ons installed.

Those two specifically intercept and change the way ExpressionEngine handles URLs.

Have you contacted either add-on author with your questions regarding this?

I did disable structure and zoo triggers.
and I even discovered the same bug with an older EE version 2.3.1.

Hey Stefan,

Let’s get a little deeper into this then.

I’ve done a similar multi-language set-up, and used different index.php files to trigger the additional languages. Pretty much the same thing you linked to.

Can you share with me the variables you have in each index.php ?

Keep in mind, the trouble you are having can’t be called a bug because what you are doing is unsupported. But since I’ve dealt with mulit-language before, I’m willing to help out 😊

Cheers,
