Redirecting users to language..

Permalink
I now put this in index.php..

<?php
session_start();
function getLanguage()
{
    $lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
    $lang = substr($lang, 0, 2);
    return $lang;
}
if(!isset($_SESSION['site_language'])){
    $_SESSION['site_language'] = getLanguage();
    switch ($_SESSION['site_language']) {
        case 'en':
            header("Location: /en/");
            break;
        case 'th':

Only I think it is the wrong place.. how to check if a users not access the index? but wants to access a specific page from somewhere then they should not be redirected.

like if somebody wants to see /en/contact/ they should not be redirected... only if they want to access domain/index.php

Ok nevermind this works ok..

In the template:
/*
 * Redirect user to proper language
 */
function getLanguage()
{
    $lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
    $lang = substr($lang, 0, 2);
    return $lang;
}
if($this->c->getCollectionPath() === NULL){
    switch (getLanguage) {
        case 'en':
            header("Location: ".$this->url()."en/");
            break;
        case 'th':

Still wondering if there is anyway to extend the front controller as this should not really be in the theme :P

if you look in the index.php it points to the dispatcher.php

Yes but modifying the dispatcher does not seems like a good idea.. Most frameworks have the ability to extend or override the front controller... or have some sort of bootstrap.

I agree. I've been trying to figure out how to extend the base/front controller for a while. This article (http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=30241) mentions an 'on_start' hook that will apparently be available in future versions. Check it out for how to implement it now.
