1 ?

No, sorry! It probably won't work with PhpWiki 1.2.0. Someone with
better knowledge than me can fill in why (like Jan :), but it has been
fixed and if you download the latest alpha version you can probably
get it to run. Just did to make sure I was right, and I was. :)

 ftp://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/pub/phpwiki/phpwiki.nightly.tar.gz

Although there may be some other unfinished things in it, like for an
example that ugly default style sheet (changing to sans serif for
WikiLinks, baaah :).

I get it to work, but now I get the spanish text AND the english text
on the home page, like:

AgregarPaginas
from plain file ./locale/es/pgsrc/AgregarPaginas is identical to current
version 1 - skipped
AddingPages
Skipping

of course this is not what I want...
anyways, I started to look at the code, wow, well, it is not the
most elegant code I've seen...

the first thing that come to my mind is to create a /etc directory
to store there config files, the current method of storing config
info in index.php is b0rked (and a complete mess)

I'm willing to contribute a patch if this is of interest to
mantainers, just tell me.

Hi Sergio,

I wa the man who did the spanish traslation according with the supplied
instructions and some help from here.

Unluckyly, I can't put this to work in my site cause they don't allow
the gettext, maybe I can check this with another ISP. But I don't feel
comfortable with gettext oriented funcs, cause some ISP's don't use it.

Imagine how I feel .. :)

hi pablo,

I agree 100% with you, while I can see the point on using gettext with
a languaje like C, I still cannot see the point on using gettext on
a languaje like PHP.

a solution based on $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]
(ie. the client browser languaje) and a simple dictionary,
is IMO better (and more simpler for translators)

anyway, I get 1.2.0 to work with my locale using "es_AR" with
this simple patch

      putenv ("LANG=$LANG");
+      if ( setlocale('LC_ALL', "") == null)
+        echo "INVALID locale";
      bindtextdomain ("phpwiki", "./locale");

now, I don't know what to do with my changes, I'm just waiting
for mantainers feedback...

Yes, or like phpnuke or phpbb does, defining variables for lang

Cool! I'll try this.
