Re: Multilingual site options?

   Hi!

I tried something similar to what you suggested
In config.xml:
     <sitedescription_en allowFromDB="true">This is my Flux CMS Site</ 
sitedescription_en>
     <sitedescription_sv allowFromDB="true">Detta ar min Flux CMS  
Site</sitedescription_sv>
     <sitedescription_fi allowFromDB="true">Tama on Flux CMS  
sivustoni</sitedescription_fi>
(Couldn't btw. find out how to get umlaut characters accepted in the  
config.xml tags above.)

And then this in master.xsl:
     <xsl:variable name="sitedescription" select="php:functionString 
('bx_helpers_config::getOption',concat('sitedescription_',$lang))"/>

Then when I tried to add new dbform options I get the following (but  
I can change the names of existing variables though):
The given query was not valid in file /home/streng/www/inc/XML/ 
xml2db.php at line 226
[Last query: insert into bxcms_options (name, value, isarray, id)  
values ('sitedescription_en', 'trubadour, singer, entertainer &  
conferencier', '0', '13')] [Native code: 1062] [Native message:  
Duplicate entry '13' for key 1]
MDB2 Error: already exists

However, when I changed the sitedescription variable to  
sitedescription_fi I find another problem... all the scandinavian  
characters come out encoded on the webpage.
Or let's say ä comes out as &amp;#228; in the XHTML code and  
therefore the browser views &#228; instead of having it in the  
code... ;-)
(I remember some problem like this with the standard usage of  
sitename, etc. some time earlier on, but that one got fixed.)

Is it btw. possible to edit the standard site-options form so that  
one could add variables of one's own (and take away those which one  
doesn't want to let the customer touch), so that the customer  
wouldn't have to dig through the dbforms?

   cheers, Simon
