eCommerce language or Dynamicweb language management ?

 Dynamicweb Language Management

Not possible out of the box. Will add it.

Until then:

Create 2 notifcation subscribers

Notifications.Standard.Page.AfterOutput

Dim masterid As Integer = 0
            If Base.ChkInteger(PageView.Current.Area.Value("AreaMasterAreaID")) > 0 Then
                masterid = Base.ChkInteger(PageView.Current.Area.Value("AreaMasterAreaID"))
            Else
                masterid = PageView.Current.Area.ID
            End If
            Dim myLangTemplate As Templatev2.Template = globalTemplate.GetLoop("Languages")
            For Each myArea As Frontend.Area In PageView.Current.AreaCollection
                If Base.ChkInteger(myArea.Value("AreaMasterAreaID")) = masterid Then
                    myLangTemplate.SetTag("Culture", Base.ChkString(myArea.Value("AreaCulture")))
                    myLangTemplate.SetTag("Name", Base.ChkString(myArea.Value("AreaName")))
                End If
            Next

globalTemplate is the argument you get in the notifcation.

Notifications.Standard.Page.Loaded
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Base.Request("ID")) AndAlso Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Base.Request("Culture")) Then
                Dim p As Dynamicweb.Content.Page = Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(Base.ChkInteger(Base.Request("ID")))
                For Each p2 As Dynamicweb.Content.Page In p.Languages
                    If p2.Area.Culture = Base.Request("Culture") Then
                        HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?ID=" & p2.ID, True)
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next
            End If

Thanks for the code sample!

This will do for now.

Kind Regards,

The code sample does not work:

In the code sample you have:

Dim p As Dynamicweb.Content.Page = Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(Base.ChkInteger(Base.Request("ID")))
                For Each p2 As Dynamicweb.Content.Page In p.Languages
....
....


I do not seem to have a property "Languages" on the Dynamicweb.Content.Page class !

I checked version 19.2.2.1 and 19.2.2.3.

Help?

Oh - new property not yet released...

Sorry.

You can do like this instead...

For Each p2 As Dynamicweb.Content.Page In Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPagesBySql(String.Format("SELECT * FROM Page WHERE PageMasterPageID = {0}", p.ID))

 Thanks! It works now.

If other people are interested in a C# version of this code, here it is:
( I changed the code a bit, so that it also includes language of the masterpage, i.e. that was missing from the above code sample)

        [Subscribe(Dynamicweb.Notifications.Standard.Page.AfterOutput)]
	public class LanguageSelect_AfterOutput : NotificationSubscriber
	{
		public override void OnNotify(string notification, object[] args)
		{
			Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template tpl = args[0] as Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template;
 
			int iMasterID = PageView.Current().Area.ID;
			if (Base.ChkInteger(PageView.Current().Area.get_Value("AreaMasterAreaID")) > 0)
				iMasterID = Base.ChkInteger(PageView.Current().Area.get_Value("AreaMasterAreaID"));
 
			Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template tplLangLoop = tpl.GetLoop("Languages");
			foreach (object key in PageView.Current().AreaCollection.Keys)
			{
				Area myArea = PageView.Current().AreaCollection[key] as Area;
				if (Base.ChkInteger(myArea.get_Value("AreaMasterAreaID")).Equals(iMasterID) || Base.ChkInteger(myArea.ID).Equals(iMasterID))
				{
					tplLangLoop.SetTag("Culture", myArea.get_Value("AreaCulture").ToString());
					tplLangLoop.SetTag("Name", myArea.get_Value("AreaName").ToString());
					tplLangLoop.CommitLoop();
				}
			}			
		}
	}

        [Subscribe(Dynamicweb.Notifications.Standard.Page.Loaded)]
	public class LanguageSelect_PageLoaded : NotificationSubscriber
	{
		public override void OnNotify(string notification, object[] args)
		{
			if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Base.Request("ID")) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Base.Request("Culture")))
			{
				Dynamicweb.Content.Page p = Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(Base.ChkInteger(Base.Request("ID")));
 
				foreach (Dynamicweb.Content.Page p2 in Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPagesBySql(String.Format("SELECT * FROM Page WHERE PageMasterPageID = {0} OR PageID = {1}", p.ID, p.MasterPageID)))
				{
					if (p2.Area.Culture.Equals(Base.Request("Culture")))
					{
						HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(string.Format("/Default.aspx?ID={0}", p2.ID), true);
						break;
					}
				}													
			}
 
		}
	}

 Another hint.
if you need the display name for the language/culture, add this to the language loop:

	System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(myArea.get_Value("AreaCulture").ToString());
	tplLangLoop.SetTag("DisplayName", ci.DisplayName);
