Hi,

I had the same issue a while back. The solution is simple. Assign bogus domainnames to the /de and /en nodes (example cerrilionDE for de and cerillionEN for the english version).

Umbraco has two ways to search for the language one is to find a match on the domain namen and if that lookup fails it will recurisve loop through the site until it finds a parent node where a language is assigned to and use that one.

Hope it helps you,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Sorry i understand this not so....

In my Umbraco Content Section i must make the following Structur (Folders) ?

Content
  - mydomainameDE
  - mydomainnameEN

In the Folder mydomain are my German Sites and in the
mydomainEN Folder are the English Sites

Is this correct ??

Can you Describe my the Approach a little bit more please
wat must i do ?

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, then all you need to do is to have the following structure:

Content

-de

--1 page

--another page

-en

--1 page

--another page

And then set "HideTopLevelNodeFromPath" to false in your web.config. I've created a site without subdomains that way... :)

Hi,

I must have 2 Languages in my Page German and English

I will make this does lok like this on the Umbraco Site where i found

http://www.cerillion.com

my URL must be

http://www.mydomain.at (as Standard)

http://www.mydomain.at/de (German Version)
http://www.mydomain.at/en (English Version)

I will make this wit no Subdomain !!
On the Top of my Page i have 2 Language Flags for German and English
and when i click on the German Flag must be show the German Homepage
and when i click the English Flag it must be show the English Website
and the URL must show mydomain.at/de mydomain.at/en

and on each Page i must can change the Language with a click on the Language Flag

I hope you unsderstand me now ??

Hi,

This was not what I meant. On the http://www.mydomain.at/de  node right click --> assign domain. You can enter mydomainameDE as the domain name and select the German Language.

On the www.mydomain.at/en  node Right click --Assign domain you can enter mydomainameDE as the domain name and select the EnglishLanguage.

I forgot to mention the HideTopLevelNodeFromPath that you need to set indeed.

I've used this mechanism on a dutch site http://www.controlpartners.nl/ 

Hereby the full xslt to list the languages. replace enteryourimagenamehere.gif with the name of your language images

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Is this correct so when i make my Node Names like this ?

Content
  - de (This is my German Homepage)
    - Page1
    - Page2
  - en (This is my English Homepage)
    - Page1
    - Page2

I have make first my German Homepage and then i have make a Copy of this Site
and rename it to MyHomepageNameEN
Is this correct so????
Must i activate "Relate copied items to original" ???

Then i have look at this Line in my web.config
<add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="true" />
OK this is corect..

Then i have make the xsl and create a Macro..
The Makro i have insert in my Masterpage


OK Then i have test the Site:
I see the Language Flags on the Top
and when i click on the English Language Flag the Site change to en.aspx its good..

But when i click the next Site in my Homepage then i come back to my German Site ?????

Can you me not send a Screenshot of your Node Structure and Settings in the Hostname please
from this Site http://www.controlpartners.nl/ 

Thanks

Must i activate "Relate copied items to original" ???

You don't need to, no. I usually don't do this.

umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath should be "false":

<add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="false" />

Hi,

Yes it works now with "false" !!!

but al my Pathes where i set for my Flash Galerie Files now uncorect ??

I have set my Path for my Flash Galerie wich use XML to Load Images like so:

/FlashBanners/Galerie/Rooms/room.xml

And now i have another Path with /de and /en

and my XML Files where not find ????
Gives a way to set my Path in an other way ????

Isn't it enough just to add two ".." ??

"../FlashBanners/Galerie/Rooms/room.xml"

Hi Richard,

My Site works now perfect with your Code ....

One Question i have..
When i Install the Media Galerie Package i become a Folder under my Root Folder "Media Galerie"

Its nice then i have under my Flags <divflag>
A Flag DE and a Flag EN and i become  another Flag without a Image Named Media Galerie !!!!

What must i do does i can set this in the Xslt File does only my Language Folders are show in the DIV Tag of my
Flags ????

Content
  - de
    ..Sites
  - en
   ..Sites
  - Media Galerie

I will only my Flags generate with the two Language Folders--- like my Homepagefolders
and not become automatic another Flag for Media Galerie ???? 

Hi,

So you only want to select the HomepageFolders? You need to get the documenttype aias of the Homepage folder and extend the foreach in the xslt .
Change <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root/node">

Into <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//node[@nodeTypeAlias='alias of the documenttype ]">

And it should work.

Cheers,

Richard
