Locale/Global... direction? 

I am hoping for just a little direction here, a place to really start looking as I find this topic rather unclear with DNN.

I have a site (UK based) where country is as important as language (ie. USA, UK, Aus etc).  I would like to have flags applied (in the site skin) so visitors can choose the relevant country.  Some of the pages would have generic details regardless of the country (eg. Forums, About Us) but others will differ (products/services). I am thinking of moving to CATALooK too for handling the eCommerce side of this.

In the past I was using the Locopon localization... but it really tore the site apart when upgrading DNN so I'd rather not touch that again. What solution might I be looking at for this?  Is there something reasonably straight forward that is fairly solid as a solution?

I'd imagine it to work similar to http://imesser.com with the flags and the way it changes.

At the moment my site has two domain (.co.uk and .com) setup as aliases... but I would like the use of these (and others) to also determine which country the visitor defaults to (unless cookies change this).

Thanks

Re: Locale/Global... direction? 

the core language switcher since ~4.6.0 supports presenting flags per language and country. Check out Erik's Blog here on DotNetNuke.com for details.

Re: Locale/Global... direction? 

Thanks Sebastian

I found Erik's blog... but I only saw a short entry on the Dutch Language Pack.  Am I looking in the right place - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/BlogID/94/Default.aspx ?

I hadn't realised anything had changed much with localization since I jumped from 4.5.5 to 4.8.2 a few weeks back... but good to know!

Cheers

David

Re: Locale/Global... direction? 

actually, the core langauge selector does not support changing language based on domain name. The only supported use of the language selector right now is changing languages based on url parameter.

Also.. the domain name is inconsequential for DNN at this moment. It would be interesting to look at an option to switch to a certain language based on the http alias used to view the portal.

Not sure if this is an acceptable answer to you, right now you are stuck with some kind of custom solution to make your use case work (well, or use locopons solution of course....)

Re: Locale/Global... direction? 

Thanks Eric

I think it will be ok probably just to use the core... it is only minor and if I have the automatic locale it will probably be seen to do the trick anyway (though I may have to keep switching if for myself from Poland!).

I will just have to have a play with it and test it out. I am curious if the flag of the current selected locale is either blanked out or identified as selected... but I am sure to find out soon enough.

Thanks

David
