RFE -- allow create_site to set a default language
Last modified: 2010-11-23 23:16:43 EST
Description of problem: The JavaScript in the top index.html of a Publican website attempts to match the locale of a visitor's browser and redirect the visitor to a welcome page in their own language. If the locale can't be matched, it defaults to en-US: // Else default to en-US if(match == 0) { lang = 'en-US'; } However, for somebody building a site in a language other than English, it would be useful to be able to define this default when the site is created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1 Additional info: For now, you can work around this by manually editing the index.html file to set a different default language. However, you need to re-do this if you ever run update_site, because this file gets overwritten.
en-US also seems to be assumed earlier too: var match = 0; var locales = ["en-US"];
There was already some support for def_lang with regard to TOC creation. Made index.tmpl use default language, this did require updating the pot and po files. Added --lang to create_site parameters, this will set def_lang in the site configuration file. Not 100% sure this is a good approach, maybe create a new parameter, --def_lang, specifically for this action? Fixed in build: 2.1-0.%{dist}.t32
Added --lang parameter to create_site action to allow def_lang to be set at site creation. Modified index.tmpl to use default language. Changed debug message from print to debug_msg so it's only displayed in debug mode. Changed debug message to be more readable and translatable: "No languages found, using default language: [_1]\n", $self->{def_lang} Moved static string in HTML to maketext calls to allow for translation of index page in to the default language. Fixed in build: 2.1-0.%{dist}.t32
