ELanguageUrlManager transparently maps the current application language to the created urls and the other way around.

  • handles module urls
  • supports "get" and "path" url formats
  • "stateless" working - the extension attempts to maintain the language code in the url without cookies
  • no need to care with language codes in the configured urlmanager rules - mapping is transparent
  • demo method building a basic language selector widget

Change log

1.1

  • fixed the case when the baseUrl member of CUrlManager is empty

Examples

transforming some URLs transparently when the app locale is hu

  • /apps/demo/site/page/view/about -> /apps/demo/hu/site/page/view/about
  • /apps/demo/gii/default/login -> /apps/demo/hu/gii/default/login
  • /apps/demo/index.php?r=site/contact -> /apps/demo/index.php?r=site/contact&lang=hu
  • /apps/demo/?r=gii/default -> /apps/demo/?r=gii/default&lang=hu

Requirements

Yii 1.x

Usage

  1. Place the 2 files in your app's /protected/components directory (or /protected/extensions)
  2. In /protected/config/main.php, configure your app like
'urlManager' => array(
	'class' => 'path.to.your.ELanguageUrlManager',
	'languages' => array('en','hu'),//all languages the app uses
	'langKey' => 'lang',//key of the url param holding the lang.id
	'defaultLang' => false,//default lang.id to carry - will not be visible in the url 
	'stateful' => false, //set to true only if having problems

	//...Add your rules here WITHOUT locale handling eg.
	//
	//'urlFormat' => 'path',
	//'showScriptName' => false,
	//'rules'=>array(
	//	'login'=>'site/login'
	//	...
	//)
),

3. Inherit all controllers of your app from the ELangController class (or at least make sure that the init() and redirect() methods in all controller do the same like ELangControllers' do :-).
4. Test the app, for example, build a language selector somewhere in a layout file by

echo Yii::app()->urlManager->demoLangSelector();

then switch language, navigate over your links.

How to debug

I've placed a log call commented in the line ~225 of ELanguageUrlManager. If you have problems, uncomment this line and check in the app log what new rules have been generated / how the existing rules transformed.
