Polo's Website

[Polo5]

Hi everyone,

as you may know, I been around the forums for quite some time, you see I have a Christian website that runs on phpnuke, the people from phpnuke helped me so much in the development of my website that I decided to do something to thank them, first I tried creating modules and themes to give back to the community, but found out that fixing bugs was not an easy task, so I headed in a different direction.

I decided to create a directory of only! phpnuke websites, I thought that would be something fun and easy to do. So I did, got a nice piece of sotfware and decided to create the directory. What suprise I received when Nuke users started to like my site, they started to ask me for diffent features and stuff, but since I'm limited in my knowledge of php, I decided to get Indexu, which is one of the best software that exist today (official support is not that good to be honest) but that's another story. Anyways, so I'm currently working on the directory and it looks pretty good.

So yes, in the first week of this simple directoy I created people all over started submitting their phpnuke sites, in a period of one week I received 2500 submissions, so that can give you an idea of how the phpnuke community was in need of a good directory (which in this case was only a simple one)

So yeah, thanks to indexu, I'm heading into a cool database of nuked sites that I can say will be a complete success, with only sites submitted by real people and reviews from real people as well.

but... yes, thereis always a but right? there is a problem! yeah, so let me tell you what I'm having problems with,

Ok, so the directoy got popular and People started telling me that they would like to translate my site into different languages (8 different language offers in total) so I modified indexu and made it multilanguage, calling every word and phrase from the msg.php file.

This is the way I did it:

on my html templates I have this

<php>echo SUBMIT_YOUR_SITE;<\php>

and in my msg.php file I have the following:

define ("_SUBMIT_YOUR_SITE", "Submit Your Site");

this way, I only need to translate msg.php to have a directoy in another complete language...

so yes, my application is ready to be translated into any language...

The thing is.......... there is some files in the cp/ folder that are not picking up the variables from the msg.php file, and I really do not konw why.

if someone has an idea of how this can be fixed, I would really apprecaite it.

Thanks..

Sincerely,

Polo

Ok, I'm done, I just need to get this problem out of the way...

Anyways, here a clear example of what I mean...

those variables should be appearing as text from the msg.php file, but they dont, anyone has an idea why? or how I can solve this problem?

you have something like the following in the page
<php>echo _YOUR_ARE_SENDING2;</php>
and
<php>echo _TELL_A_FRIEND;</php>

In all honesty, I am confused by when you can and when you cannot use PHP in html pages in INDEXU.

If you look at http://www.indexuhelp.com/forum/inde...start=0&rid=3, you would think that you could use PHP in the pages.

But then there is this post
http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...&threadid=1940

so who knows. either it works or it does not.

Might have something to do with the uploading of the file. Delete it and try to upload it in ASCII mode, not Binary. Typically we would only use binary upload for encoded PHP

EDITED :

This file - sorry :
tell_friend.php

And this is just a random guess. I'm not familiar with PHPnuke all that well. If you can post the actual php code that generates that page, we might be able to help some more.
