MambelFish on Joomla? Anyone have it working?

elleonblanco · **Posted:** Thu Sep 29, 2005 10:16 pm

I have a site that belongs to a client and he is really satrting to climb my tree about multi-lingual funtionality. I keep looking at the JoomFish page on the forge but so far nothing new has been posted. Does anyone out there actually have this component running on Joom and if so could you please share your secret to making it display something other than a blank white page? I can't wait to come up with a way to get this guy off my neck.

Thanks All

I am eagerly awaiting this as well

Yes, I have it running on Joomla 1.0.1.

I can attach 2 zips
These are the options, yould choose 1 of them not both!

The mbf.patch.zip contains the patched index.php and index2.php from the Joomla root.
You have to rename the contained files from index.mbf.php to index.php and index2.mbf.php to index2.php etc.
It will certainly work but you must restore the original files when Joomfish releases!
Hooks are made in Joomla for better integration.

If you don't want your core files patched you could try the other zip, it contains a system joombot I made that initializes Mambelfish.
Don't forget to publish it.
It works well on my site but I'm not sure it will on others. Let me know.
Also for that, if the Joomfish releases unplublish/de-install my bot.

I hope this helps?

Thanks Walb. I will definitely get right on this. You have certainly brightend up my day.

I think I will try the mambot first because until Joom gets a bit more stabilized on the development I want to keep the upgrading as simple as possible by not messing with my core files.

Hi walb,
have you test your system on Joomla! 1.0.2?

TY

Yes the system bot works OK with Joomla1.0.2.
Upgraded without patched files.

Ok,
because I have installed the mambelfish (http://mamboforge.net/projects/mambelfish/) component, module and searchbot and I still have some problems:

Code:

The questions are:
- Do I need to install the mambelfish core files for mambo 4.5.2?
- How can I modify source file to make it work?

Another noob question is how to place a link on frontend to change the language?

Thank a lot

I just came across this, the mosConfig_lang var needs to be global.

walb · **Joined:** Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:46 am **Posts:** 823

Hmm. Strange that bot runs as is already on various Joomla 1.0.2 sites. I see you use easyphp. I'm not famliar with that.
You could try in mambots/system/mbf_language.php in line 22
global $_MAMBELFISH_MANAGER, $mosConfig_mbf_content, $iso_client_lang;
to change it to
global $_MAMBELFISH_MANAGER, $mosConfig_mbf_content, $iso_client_lang, $mosConfig_lang;

The delivered 4.5.2 patch should in no way be used for joomla.
Those files are only for 4.5.2.

In 4.5.2 my bot does not work and cannot be installed. These are the first differences between Joomla and Mambo.

To switch the language you must put this somewhere in your template

It will show flags or the language titles on webpage dependent how you configured MBF in the fontend.

Instead of the previous you can also download this module http://mamboforge.net/frs/download.php/4465/mbf_module.zip
It does the same to show flags.

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:08 pm

Ok,
that work for the errors listed upper.

Now I have theses, just upper the language selector:

Code:

Notice: Undefined index: mbf_dir in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\joomla\components\com_mambelfish\mambelfish.html.php on line 71

Notice: Undefined variable: hrefVars in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\joomla\components\com_mambelfish\mambelfish.html.php on line 157

what that mean?

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:09 pm

Yep, I just made a small change that seems to work. Gimme 2 mins.

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:12 pm

Change line 71 which reads

if( $GLOBALS['mbf_dir'] == 'vertical'

to

if( isset($GLOBALS['mbf_dir']) && $GLOBALS['mbf_dir'] == 'vertical'

Obviously leave the rest of the line in and as it is.

So far it's looking good on one of my dev servers, I'll put it on demo.jomres.net now so get ready for some bad language from Wales.

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:14 pm

Actually, I would if I'd remembered to joomla the demo server :-P.

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:15 pm

Ok I found it too ;-)

Line 71:

Code:

if( isset($GLOBALS['mbf_dir']) && $GLOBALS['mbf_dir'] == 'vertical' || $mambelFishManager->getCfg( 'frontendMode' ) == 'vlist' || $mambelFishManager->getCfg( 'frontendMode' ) == 'vimage' ){

from http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,4373.0.html

i still have this error:

Code:

Notice: Undefined variable: hrefVars in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\joomla\components\com_mambelfish\mambelfish.html.php on line 158

Do you know?

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:18 pm

I suspect that if you removed all the trailing stuff from your domain in the address bar (IE everything after the ? (question mark) ) and hit enter, you'd probably not see that.

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:21 pm

No it's the opposit,

...index.php -> error ligne 157
...index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1&lang= -> no error

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:23 pm

Actually, the "ISO" fields under mambelfish>language configuration are empty... What do I need to enter?

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:24 pm

Backend of Joomla: Mambelfish component/Language configuration. Check that against Swiss you've put 'ch', english is "en" in the ISO fields.

Note: This is a complete guess.

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:30 pm

...index.php

Code:

Notice: Undefined variable: hrefVars in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\joomla\components\com_mambelfish\mambelfish.html.php on line 153

Notice: Undefined variable: hrefVars in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\joomla\components\com_mambelfish\mambelfish.html.php on line 154

...index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1&lang=en
Work fine

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:43 pm

This may sound like a silly question, but do you have the swiss lang file installed? (I'm assuming swiss as that's where your profile says you're based).

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:46 pm

As far as I can see in the mbf code, the hrefVars it's referring to is the lang=whatever at the end of your address string, maybe the fact that it's empty is causing problems.

You're right, but swiss people speak french (for my part indeed, cause italian and german are also spoken here...)

So the french language pack is installed.

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:54 pm

So you've changed the ISO bit in mamblefish to fr?

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 12:57 pm

yes

"en" and "fr"

The problem is how to define the default hrefVars in mambelfish.html.php.

That should be the same default language than in the Language Manager

Vimes · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:09 pm

Do you want to PM me your login details & I can take a look at your set up for you?

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:12 pm

My install is only on localhost... but you're nice to propose...

ponsfrilus · **Posted:** Tue Oct 11, 2005 6:18 am

I found the solution here: http://www.mambers.com/showthread.php?t=38571

The fonction "function _createHRef( $iso )" must be like that:

Code:

    function _createHRef( $iso ) {
        $href= "index.php";
        $vars = explode( "&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] );
            if( count($vars) > 0 && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) {
                $hrefVars = "?";
                foreach ($vars as $var) {
                    if( eregi('=', $var ) ) {
                        list($key, $value) = explode( "=", $var);
                            if( $key != "lang" ) {
                                if( $hrefVars != "?" ) $hrefVars .= "&";
                                $hrefVars .= "$key=$value";
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            else { $hrefVars = "?"; }
            if( $iso != null ) {
                if( $hrefVars != "?" ) $hrefVars .= "&";
                $hrefVars .= "lang=$iso";
            }
            if( $hrefVars != "" ) {
                 $href .= "$hrefVars";
            }
        return sefRelToAbs( $href );
    }

Thank you very much for your help

Hi everyone. I am trying to get mambelfish to work with the latest joomla.
I've followed the procedures in this thread, i'm still getting errors however. I'm currently only using one language which is english.
