Hello,
First of all, thanks for replying so soon - it was of great help. I've developed a small hack together with a colleague - this hack allows for choosing a language based on user's browser ACCEPT_LANGUAGE settings.
in root_index.php.t, around line 28:
<?php
if ( !$usr->theme )
if (!isset($GLOBALS['forcedTheme'])) $r = q("SELECT * FROM {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}themes WHERE t_default='Y'");
else {
$fthme = $GLOBALS['forcedTheme'];
$r = q("SELECT * FROM {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}themes WHERE name='$fthme'");
}
else
$r = q("SELECT * FROM {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}themes WHERE id=".$usr->theme);
?>
in users.inc.t, around line 187 find this code:
<?php
$rv[1] = NULL;
if( !empty($GLOBALS["rid"]) && empty($GLOBALS["HTTP_COOKIE_VARS"]["frm_referer_id"]) ) set_referer_cookie($GLOBALS["r?>
(... cut ...)
and insert this below:
<?php
/*** SLT & JD: HACK => forcing another theme when unregistered ***/
preg_match_all('|(\w\w)(-\w\w)?|', $GLOBALS['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], $tmp_langs);
foreach($tmp_langs[1] as $tmp_lang)
if(in_array($tmp_lang, array('en','pl'))) {
$redir_lang = $tmp_lang;
break;
}
unset($tmp_langs,$tmp_lang);
if($redir_lang=='en') $GLOBALS['forcedTheme']='english_version';
/*** /HACK ***/
}
?>
This code sets the 'english_version' theme based on the user's browser ACCEPT LANGUAGE header. The routine sets the first of allowed languages (array('en','pl')) found in the $redir_lang variable. If the first found is en-xx (the regexp cuts the -xx variations, leaving 'en' only) then forcedTheme is set and forum opens in that theme, if not, it falls back to default.
This code is only a hack, perhaps there is more elegant way to do it, but it should be easy to modify it to select "unregistered theme" according to user browser's settings.
Thanks again!
