Multi Language navigation problem [Solved]

[Joss]

I am using the multi-language module for processwire.

I have set up using example 3 on the documentation page: http://processwire.com/api/multi-language-support/multi-language-fields/#examples

And I am looking at the code from example one to sort out my navigation.

However, my navigation is in a function (thanks to dear Soma) and I cant get the right values to leap the function barrier.

The code I need to run for my menu is:
 

• if($user->language->name != 'default') $segment = $user->language->name;
• else $segment = '';

 

And then output $segment into my URL.

 

But I am not getting any value out of $segment, so I assume it is not getting $user->language->name from outside of the menu function.

 

What am I missing?

It sounds like $user isn't in scope. When you are developing stuff like this, it's good to enable $config->debug=true; in your /site/config.php file. That way, PHP should report notices like this. This is probably what you want:

$user = wire('user');
if(!$user->language->isDefault()) $segment = $user->language->name; 
  else $segment = '';

Ah, Bon! Merci!

I thought about just about everything that was not being grabbed - forgot all about poor little user!
 

Thanks, Ryan, that worked.

Hey Joss,

I was wondering about your experience using this method. Do you know what happens when a user links to an onsite page within their content via tinyMCE text input? does it redirected to the default language verision of the page?
