[Solved] Can't always get the language with $_GET['glang']
Nov 28, 2012 6:39 am by makane
Hi, At the bottom of every page on my site (http://taulia.com) I'm calling a JavaScript function with the current language, but quite often, even when the site is displaying German, the language is blank. It is almost always blank if you are on any page on the site and click the logo to return to the home page. The code at the bottom of each page looks like this: <script type="text/javascript">fPageLoaded('<?php echo $_GET['glang']; ?>');</script> And I have these lines in my .htaccess file: # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2&glang=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&glang=$1 [L,QSA] Any idea how I can always know what language is displaying? Thanks.

Hi, joomla holds the language in the session of variable glang. You will be able to get the current language with $_GET['glang']

Hi Yana, Sometimes that variable is blank even when the page is in German. Do you know why that might be? If you go to http://www.taulia.com/de/about and look at the bottom of the page source you will see this: <script type="text/javascript">fPageLoaded('de');</script> If you then click on the Taulia logo in the upper left to return to the homepage, the page is still in German but at the bottom of the source you see this: <script type="text/javascript">fPageLoaded('');</script> The variable <?php echo $_GET['glang']; ?> is not being filled in. Do you know why that might be? Thanks

Hi, You are using the plugin which holds the variable in session. You need to use JSession::get('glang');
