Forum Archive - On Fly (jQuery) and Redirect Not Working ( Pro )

Hello there hope someone can advise me on a solution to my problem. I have installed pro version as per the readme file, however i can only get the google default translate to work. When I select either On Fly or Redirect the flags in the module do nothing. I have used the API from Google and entered my username and password. I have also requested a new API and replaced and removed the old one. The only thing i am unsure of is if my .htaccess file is correct... please advise. ## # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 10492 2008-07-02 06:38:28Z ircmaxell $ # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2008 Open Source Matters.

Move # gtranslate config block after RewriteEngine On line and use Redirect translation method with Pro option on.

Hi thank you for a quick reply... I think i have moved the # gtranslate block to the correct place... now reads.

Could there be a problem with the file permissions? Can you please advise what they should be. I have already set the cache to 777 as instructed. The other files are all 644 is this correct? thanks again

I'm not sure that your .htaccess rewrite rules work. Can you upload info.php file from the product package into gtarnslate folder and let me know? When I go to yourdomain.com/ru for Russian it shows me 404 not found error.

Hi and thank you for your reply.... was begining to worry... I have uploaded the info.php file as you requested. thanks...

Ah ha... Think i have found the problem!!!!! I had Gogogle Analytics turned on for " On Fly " when i turned it off the translate worked. However when i use " Redirect " the flags now work but send me to the 404 pages. I have tried this with JQuery " On and Off ". But atleast we are getting somewhere. Oh and one other thing it wont translate Community buider pages. I have created a copy of the translate module, turned jquery off as CB has its own its own Jquery in the HEAD ( I believe ), but still no translation any ideas?

Can you create a blank debug.txt file inside gtranslate folder and set permission to 666? It doesn't seem that cache/XX folders are writable. Where your .htaccess file is located? Make sure the name is .htaccess not htaccess or htaccess.txt.

Hello again... debug.txt file created with permissions as requested. .htaccess file is named as requested. cache folder and subfolders are rwx-rwx-rwx. The limit.txt folder is rw-r-r thanks

My .htaccess file was wrongly named, but is now, and the 404 error has gone. The url now changes to www.domain.com/xx/ but still no translation.

Good, you have an extra space in the end of your API key in gtranslate/config.php file, you need to remove it.

Your A STAR!!!! Redirect is working, Hurray!!!. Time to blow my head off now for not checking the htaccess file name was correct ( I was so sure it was, because i changed it to .htaccess to use the url re-write when i first installed Joomla ). Then again aposed to blowing me head off im to get started and create the cached pages. Oh do you have any ideas about Community Buider?

Good! What are you asking about CB?

I dont think its a gtranslate problem, I think its url writing inconsistancies in CB but could be wrong. for example. In a CB user list there are currently two links pointing to the users profile page, one from the logo image and the other from the username. The link from the image will transate but the link from the username does not. Username url does not translate. not: http://www.domain.com/index.php/en/View ... ml?user=63 User logo ure does. http://www.domain.com/zh-TW/index.php/e ... ml?user=63 Obviously the /zh-TW/ is the part that is missing. Any other ideas? Oh and i am using Sh04sef.

If it is not a regular link <a href="..."></a> in the code, then it will not add the language code. May be it is generated with javascript? You need to check the source code to find the difference between the link which work and which doesn't.
