choose language of login and password forgot pages?

[gerritvanaaken]

If my backend has two languages, is there any way to force (via URL parameter?) which language will be displayed on the login page and the password forgot page?

The guest user language will be provided by default. You can change it.
If you want to control it via get parameter you need to hook in ProcessLogin::execute();
Pick up the language ID from the url get parameter and set the user language in a hookBefore.

Hey @kixe Thanks for your answer. However, I couldn’t hook in correctly. I tried every hook from "ProcessLogin". The most suitable seemed "buildLoginForm" or "renderLoginForm", because I want the form itself to be translated. None of my hooking attempts seemed to be executed. This is from my init.php:

$wire->addHookBefore('ProcessLogin::buildLoginForm()', function($event) {
	wire('log')->save('langlog', 'language should be: '.wire('input')->lang);
	if (wire('input')->lang == 'fr') {
		wire('languages')->setLanguage(7085);
	}
});

I cannot explain why there is no log entry after visiting mysite.com/processwire/?forgot=1&lang=fr

Does it all also not work when executed in the ready.php?

I’m such a noob! I used the hook with function parentheses. ProcessLogin::execute() is wrong. ProcessLogin::execute works totally fine. Thanks, case closed!

Here is my final init.php code for bilingual password forgot.

if (wire('session')->language) {
	wire('languages')->setLanguage(wire('session')->language);
}

$wire->addHookBefore('ProcessLogin::execute', function($event) {
	if (wire('input')->lang == 'fr') {
		wire('languages')->setLanguage(7085);
		wire('session')->language = 7085
	}
});
