Thanks,

I want to add Persian language(Farsi) to my local mojoportal.

I download language pack from i7MEDIA/mojoPortal-Languages-Support and copy contains of "fa" folder to root of my site.

then add below lines to user.config:

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />

<add key="site1culture" value="fa-IR" />
<add key="site1uiculture" value="fa-IR" />

<add key="UseCustomHandlingForPersianCulture" value="true" />

 and change web.config and save that.

then I browse localhost/setup/default.aspx  but language don't change for me!!!

Please help me, If I require another work on my site.

thank!

I've rearranged the structure of the Language Repo so it will be easier for people to get the files they need for their language. 

The changes to the .RESX files since 2.4.0.8 are:

Thank you, again, for helping with the Italian Resources. If you have a github account, I'll give you commit access to the language repo so you can easily updated those files.

Thanks,
Joe Davis

First, thank you for your support of mojoPortal and your commitment to the translation of the project to the Italian language.

We didn't do a very good job of noting this but we created a new repository on GitHub for languages other than en-US. I'm sorry we didn't make an announcement about this.

For quite a while now the only language included with the release packages other than English has been Italian because, thanks to you, it was the most complete translation. As this release was our first we evaluated a lot of different options for how best to release the files going forward. With regard to the .resx files, we wanted to cut down the amount of time mojo sites took for the JIT compilation so we pulled the Italian .resx files from the release and put them in our new language repo. For the other translatable files (Message Templates and Help Files), we felt that the number of files included in the releases was overwhelming. The number of non-resx language files included in a release was 1,790. So many people have to manage their site files using FTP and that many files can take a very long time to upload.

As for the date stamps on the files, that was unintentional and we'll try not to have that happen again.

The new languages repo has all of the language files for mojoPortal for every language that has ever been supported. There are currently three folders in the root of the repo, Core, Features, and Webstore. Inside each of these folders are two folders, App_GlobalResources and Data. It's a good structure for keeping things separated but it's not such a great structure to allow for easily downloading a single language, I'm realizing that now. We'll work on a different structure, possibly putting all files for each language in it's own folder.

We are committed to mojoPortal being a well-translated project and we hope you will continue contributing to the Italian language resources. I'll run a quick comparison of the English language files we have in 2.5 to what was available in 2.4.0.8 to see what's changed and update this thread with those changes. 

Thank you,
Joe Davis

I am glad to see that a new release is available and a new team is committed to keep working on the project.

Up to version 2.4.0.8, as a mojoPortal partner, we worked on the Italian translation of any new releases and we used to send the changed resource files to Joe Audette (App_GlobalResources and Data\MessageTemplates). Joe Audette made them available to everyone in the subsequent mojoPortal release (and they were also immediately available for download from our site).

In the light of your new initiative we are now evaluating whether mojoPortal can still be considered the reference CMS platform for our web installations and, if so, whether it is still worth our while to keep working on the Italian translation updates.

I have noticed that 2.5.0.0  release comes without any embedded non US language resources (Italian was one of the few embedded languages) and the old repository hosting the additional "language packs" seems to be no longer available.

What are your intentions regarding this topic ?

I have also noticed that all objects included in the .zip file have the timestamp of the release date and not the original last update; this makes it impossible for us to understand which resource files have been changed since the previous release (our Italian translation resources are available up to 2.4.0.8 release and Form wizard Pro 2.6.2.0).

I look forward to hearing from you about this matter.

"It has two languages."

I don't really know what you mean by that.

You need to be more specific about what changes you made to configure your sites for different languages and steps to produce the problem.

By "Cambodian Language" I guess you mean Khmer.

When I set my web browser language preference to Khmer I am still able to login at demo.mojoportal.com

I suggest also check the error log for any related errors when login fails.

I am new to mojo CMS. I have a website using mojo(run on local machine). It has two languages.

I could log in when the page is in English. But I can not log in when I switch to Cambodian Language.

Anyone could help me ?

Thank

using this does work for me:

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
  <add key="site1culture" value="ar-JO" />
  <add key="site1uiculture" value="ar-JO" />

with help files named like ar-JO-helpkey.config

resource files may fallback to ar if ar-JO is set as the culture and no ar-JO resx files exist, but the help file system is not smart enough to know that ar is a suitable fallback if ar-JO files are not found

https://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&t=7472~1
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo%28v=vs.71%29.aspx
https://www.mojoportal.com/a-clever-trick-for-customizing-labels-and-buttons-in-mojoportal

i saw in all mojoportal that the "Arabic"  help files was written with ar-somehelpfilename-help.config

so i made mine too, and changed the config ad needed as described in all help here thanks to you :

 <add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
  <add key="site1culture" value="ar-JO" />
  <add key="site1uiculture" value="ar-JO" />
  <!-- Set this to false if you would rather add the meta ContentType yourself in layout.master
         file of your skin. If true the MetaContentControl will render it according to the
         ContentMimeType and ContentEncoding settings. -->
  <add key="AutoSetContentType" value="true" />
  <!-- Changed the default for ContentMimeType from application/xhtml+xml to text/html as of
         mojoPortal version 2.3.1.3. HTML 5 now seems the future rather than XHTML. -->
  <add key="ContentMimeType" value="text/html" />
  <add key="ContentEncoding" value="utf-8" />

i did not change the globlization as Joe said!

but the help files still showing in "ENGLISH" unless i change them for example to ar-JO-somehelpfilename-help.config

so i tried to change the webconfig to :

  <add key="site1culture" value="ar" />
  <add key="site1uiculture" value="ar" />

and it does not work at all !!

the "ar" language is supported from MS as in the link above!!

and i think it is not logic to change to ar-JO or ar-SA etc.. each files !!

i am talking here only about HELP files and not resx localization files !!

the source of my project all of it as open source can be located here :

https://github.com/GhalibGhniem/iQuran

any help Joe i will deeply appriciate

thank you

i set my web.config file to  

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
    <add key="site1culture" value="fr-FR" />
    <add key="site1uiculture" value="fr-FR" />

but nothing happend and still my resource is in english.

but i test by copy resource.resx and change in name to resource.fr.resx and translate related it work fine.

the question is where the location for downloading resource in fr and put it in my project app_glob....

kind regards.in need resource in persian also 

but i cant find any ..and the setting in web.config doesnot work 

after Novell fired the Mono team and they started their own company their focus has since been mostly on mobile platforms and tools, so the prospects of it becoming a reliable asp.net platform seemed even less to me.

maybe with more and more of asp.net becoming open source it will get better at some point but again if it does, then there really should not be anything I need to do to support it, it should just work, but somehow I doubt that will ever be the case, it has not been the case in my experience.

I have just changed this site back to adapt to browser language. I actually had it that way for a long time but at one point some bug in mojoPortal came up that made me switch it temporarily to forced to en-US and I forgot to change it back after the bug was fixed. currency will still be formatted according to en-US but otherwise it should adapt now.

This site is an ecommerce site and for that reason it seems best to me that all dates/currencies etc are formatted according to the language that I do business in.

For what it's worth I think choosing to not support Mono is a mistake. You were the only Dotnet cms that did support Mono which was the only reason that brought me to your software in the first place. And having your own site configured to force foreign localization settings on registered users makes a pretty bad impression.

The default behavior of mojoPortal is to use the language/culture preference of the web browser but it can also be forced to use a specific language/culture by configuration. 

Timezone is a property of the user profile and in most cases date/time will be adjusted to the user time zone though some features such as Event Calendar Pro will force a specific timezone. For unauthenticated users the timezone is determined by site settings and it is the default time zone if not specified in the user profile.

This site is forced to en-US, so browser settings are not used here, but on your own site running mojoPortal you can configure it as you like.

I'm also getting tonnes of Facebook warnings. If I navigate your site using IE8 every single time I change page I get popup warnings about www.facebook.com trying to open a local site.

Thanks, I have fixed the typo.

The only truly official mojoPortal site is this one. There are mojoPortal community sites in other languages and I am aware of most of them and I have no problem with them since I cannot support other language communities myself and perhaps these sites are helpful for non-English speakers. So you can think of those other sites as kind of a loose affiliation but www.mojoportal.com is the official site of mojoPortal CMS and there is no business relationship between my company and those other sites.

Best,

Joe

The <add key="site1culture" value="ru-RU" />
<add key="site1uiculture" value="ru-RU" />
  was in quotations, after getting it to VS I fix the problem.

http://mojoportal.net.ua  they official in Ukraine?

changes in .resx files do not require rebuilding in VS

are you using mojoPortal official deployment packages or source code? make sure you understand the difference and don't mix files from one to the other and don't re-compile our deployment files that are already compiled.

Thank you very much for your link post..

Hope this helps,

I found the page to force a language but that wasnt what i was looking for. The localization page gave me the answer, i removed the auto from uiculture to force a language but keep dates and numbers based on browser settings. Im not sure if you got it the other way around but this is what worked for me.

Note also that if you are doing ecommerce ie using webstore you would not want it to be up to the users preference  because then prices may show in the wrong currency format.

But if you don't want to force a language and you do want it to adapt for some weird reason only numbers and dates then you would not force a language but just remove the auto: from the uiculture attribute on the gloabalization element in web.config

<globalization
            culture="auto:en-US"
            uiCulture="auto:en"
            requestEncoding="utf-8"
            responseEncoding="utf-8"
            fileEncoding="iso-8859-15" />

Hope that helps,

Is it possible to turn off the translation for a website but keep the users localization for time/dates conversions?

If i use the method described on: http://www.mojoportal.com/forcing-a-specific-language im afraid all settings for time/dates will be in the language i set, is this true?

Thanks,

I have patched the 2.3.9.6 release with the fix for this problem. See the notes on the codeplex download page about which files were updated.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I was able to reproduce this problem on my local machine and fix it. It was a bug in the webstore code that was forcing the text to ascii, it was not a problem with the smtp encoding.

This is fixed now in the source code repository so it will be fixed in the next release of mojoPortal.

Thanks

Joe

Thanks for the beers! Much appreciated.

I will look into this problem further and see what I can figure out. I do know that in the past others have been able to use other language encodings. It could possibly be a problem at the mail server rather than in mojoPortal but I will see what I can figure out with some testing.

Best,

Joe

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately it's not working. I followed your instruction and used notepad++ as always and It's the same problem.

It appears that when I forced the encoding with <add key="SmtpPreferredEncoding" value="Windows-1252"/> or another value that the template for the subject and the template for the plain text are not encoded the same way. With "Windows-1252" the subject is encoded in Windows-1252 and the plain text is treated as iso-8859-1.

Additional test with other specials char ç -> c and the â‚¬ disappears.

It will be nice if someone can run a test with an order confirmation email forcing CA-fr or other language with specials chars to see it's only my problem !

Or someone have another advice to resolve my issue.

Regards

Mathias

I notice that the file fr-CA-DefaultOrderConfirmationPlainTextEmailTemplate.config is encoded as utf8 without BOM

Possibly in the context of smtp messages it is not detecting the encoding correctly, changing it to utf-8 with BOM using a text editor like Notepad++ might solve it, I would try that since you say other messages such as contact form are being sent correctly. With BOM just adds some bytes to the beginning of the file that make it easier to sniff/detect the encoding, without that it may be seeing the file as ansi and losing some of the chars.

If you find that works let me know and I will change the encoding format of that file here.

Hope that helps,

Joe

The order confirmation email is ignoring accents "é" and just pass it as "e". The email subject who contains also an "é" is fine and render as an "é". 

I tried to solve the problem with <add key="SmtpPreferredEncoding" value="utf-8"/> and tried also "UTF-8",  "iso-8859-1" and "ISO-8859-1" but it is always the same, I also checked the .config file and encode it in the same value.

I also test with another smtp server to see if that was the cause, but it is exactly the same problem.

Recover the password who contains accents is fine and pass them as it is in the .config file.

The contact form too, no problem.

I hope somebody can give me another tips or way to handle that.

Regards

Mathias 

Hope that helps,

Joe

how ever is there a way to make people pay to sign up to a forum through mojo portal ? 

or make them subscribe and pay 10 euro's a month or something like that ? 

Sorry for the delayed response, just now looking at Transifex. Doesn't look like they have any integration/syncing with Mercurial source code repositories (or any others) but it still might be a potential replacement, I'll investigate further. Thanks for posting this.

Best,

Joe

The only way it works: (a bad work-around)

<add key="site1culture" value="en-US" />
<add key="site1uiculture" value="it-IT" />

(Attention! because the dates will be reversed. (the months will be before the day, English format !!!)

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
<add key="site1culture" value="it-IT" />
<add key="site1uiculture" value="it-IT" />

however if it is a multi site installation note that the 1 is the site id, so if the site id is not 1 for your site then you need to change it, ie if site id is 2 then:

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
<add key="site2culture" value="it-IT" />
<add key="site2uiculture" value="it-IT" />

See also Localization

 

i fix the error and fill in the field the "colon" if in:
web.config
(<globalization Culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-US" .../>) so forced in en and not as it was by default: "auto:en-US"

Plus: for have the user interface in Italian I tried:
(<globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="auto:en-US" ..../>) It works!

BUT I do not know (culture = "en-US" forced) what is involved in the rest of the site.
for example, startdate field now works, however, reverses the month with the day as it is right in en but not HERE! (and we don't use the AM/PM 09/10/2012 2:13 PM, my users to be able to tell that the day the month should be reversed? )

I would be happier to solve olso this, can you help me even a little? I will try to get you at least 2 beers!

(i left your row culture force in user.config )

Always the same, and just press [now] button in the calendar interface it get the right value with the colon separator.

Here the "System log" i've clean the log and this the result when i press the [save] button with the defaul data value in the filed (dot separator.)

make sure you touch web.config after that because changes in user.config are not detected automatically, so you need to touch (ie type a space in it and save) web.config to make it reload settings

I did an upgrade from 1.3.7.6 (maybe), and I used the new web.config and user.config, and i replace the correct changes for my site installation. (I have not touched the lines of jquery) which are applied on your portal demo that work fine?
If you want I can change it if you send me the correct code/line/version.

The site is in an external hosting in webfarm, the site will be made ​​public by September 20th, if you want I can send you the url via mail.

 

I tried to "http://demo.mojoportal.com" as suggested and i add a new Article in the Blog, and the filed "start date" have properly the "colon" and not de "dot", it's work fine and i see all the blog function in Italian.
I've tried both with FF15, which IE9 on Win7 (obviously in Italian)

What can I check?
Where do you get the settings that field?
I check the setting of Culture, Language and Time, in the web.config / user.config or it could also depend on the Skin?

My site (for a medium size company) i'm an IT-Manager consulting, is under construction, I can, without any problem, send the link via "private message", and i can elavate your account as "Admin" if i do not trust the Guru of mojoportal? who else!

Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm not able to reproduce this problem. I tried using Firefox browser, I set my preferred language in the browser settings under Tools > Options to Italian. I visit our demo site and login as admin@admin.com with password admin 

Then I go to create a new blog post and the format is correct it has : not .

You did not mention what version of mojoPortal you are using, maybe upgrading will solve the problem. I know that we havw lots of Italian users and I have not seen others report this problem.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I found what the problem is:
the field: "Start date"
HTML =
<input class="hasDatepicker" name="ctl00$mainContent$dpdpBeginDate" value="03/09/2012 11.23" id="ctl00_mainContent_dpdpBeginDate" type="text">

It open with the default value of today's date in this format example:
09/03/2012 11.23 with the ["." dot] separator hours.
Saving i receive the ASP.NET error.
While in the field i write manually the correct value: 09/03/2012 11:23 with the separator hour [":" colon]
or using the [...] to enter a date with the calendar, i can save done and without error.
Could be a problem with the "Culture = it-IT" and some converting date scripts ?

Many Thanks, and sorry for my bad English!

Best,

Joe

Going forward, the way to update and create translations is to email the files directly to Joe Audette (joe dot audette [@] g mail dotcom). See the Translating mojoPortal document for further information.

Jamie

As sad as it is seeing such a useful service go down, I'd like to know how are going to keep our translations updated.

Im sorry that i was caught up with some continuous work since these days, so I was unable to do that, I shall soon try to do my best to be a part of this wonderful mojoPortal Team. I thought about having these translated on our end on our local machines on that day when you share me the Amanuens account. But it would be better i guess, if we can host a kind of repository specially to handle languages on MojoPortal's Dedicated server, right?

Check out something like this? http://resourceblender.codeplex.com/

Thank You,

Guruprasad

Yes of course I received the same information. Going forward we will have to figure out a new way to coordinate translations. It is a shame since it is a useful service but it is difficult to make a profit on such services so I understand why they are discontinuing it. In the mean time I will sync the latest updates from Amanuens to our repository.

However, note that you originally posted in January and I setup translations on Amanuens for Tamil so you could translate. Since then no work was done on translating to Tamil so I recently deleted that set of files because having .resx files for other languages that are 0% translated from English doesn't help and in fact adds performance overhead because those resx files must be JIT compiled by ASP.NET. This is also why we have recently stopped including so many languages in the official release packages and instead we have been making the additional languages available in a separate download.

So I think it will be better for new languages if people complete them significantly on their own machines and then send the files to me and I will add them to the repository once they are complete or at least significantly complete.

Best,

Joe

This is a serious information, that came in the form of an email, it says...

Dear customer,
It is with big regret that I inform you that the Amanuens software localization platform is being discontinued. Unfortunately, the current and projected status of our business doesn't allow us to continue any further.

The Amanuens service, accessible at https://my.amanuens.com, and all related web properties will be taken offline on 2012/07/31. After such date, all the data in the system will be permanently deleted. You will receive another communication 7 days prior to the shutdown, but please make sure that you have downloaded all of your translation data before such date, as we won't be able to recover it after taking the system offline.

All customers will be able to purchase translations from our partners until 2012/07/16. After such date, it will not be possible to purchase new translations (jobs currently in progress will be of course completed).
Starting from now, it won't be possible to create new Amanuens accounts. Existing accounts will continue to function normally, and we will cancel any upcoming subscription payment (in other words, all plans are now free).
Thank you very much for being part of this wonderful adventure. I hope you enjoyed using our services as much as we enjoyed providing them to you, but please accept my most sincere apologies if we are causing you or your business any trouble. We will most probably release the entire project as open-source (license to be decided).
If you need help, you can reach us as support@amanuens.com, as usual.

Thank you, and best regards.

-- Dario Solera, Threeplicate co-founder & CEO

My recommendation for supporting multiple languages is to use multiple sites based on folder names and configured for related sites mode so that users and roles are shared in all sites. 

So in each site you can set the page names according to the language and the menu will reflect whatever you put for the page name in each site.

Hope that helps,

Joe

there is a possibility to localize the main menu?

When I create a new page, the title is static. How can I change it in base of user language? 

Thank you

Stefano

You are correct it shows as Utc and is labelled as Utc, but I agree it would be better to adjust it to the user time zone. I've added a request in our project tracker to implement this change in a future release of Form Wizard Pro.

Best,

Joe

On the form wizard pro submission reports (grid, csv, word), the submitted date is showing in UTC.  Is there a config to change that to local time?

/FormWizard/FormResults.aspx?pageid=xxxx&mid=xxx

Thanks,

 

Thanks  for sending this translation . We translate almost 95 present of some all resources. Translation of  untranslated  and improvements  will do over the time. You can sent your in case translations to me. Please don't send Persian content on this site .We have a short time responding Persian community.

Best,

Asad

I do not know how I missed it :(.

I added resource files and it solved my problem.

 

Thanks,

Marcin

Please see the release notes for version 2.3.8.1, we moved additional language resource files into a separate download, you just need to download the extra file and add the languages you want to the App_GlobalResources folder.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I've been using mojoportal for long time. I never had problems with localization.

Always during the installation mojo used the Resources for the user's preferred language in my case it always was Polish (as you write in http://www.mojoportal.com/localization.aspx).

After installation I created a child site, set UseCultureOverride to true and add

<add key="site1culture" value="pl-PL">
<add key="site2culture" value="en-US">

(learn it from here http://www.mojoportal.com/forcing-a-specific-language)

for multilingual i used UseFoldersInsteadOfHostnamesForMultipleSites set to true.

And it always work perfectly up to now. :)

When I installed mojo 2.3.8.1 I had only one language English.

I try to force localization of Site 1 to Polish, for test even to French or Dutch but works only English.

I installed it 4 times with different browsers (every of them have browser language preferences set to Polish).

But everytime only language i get is English.

I would like to add that I upgraded my other earlier mojo installations  to version 2.3.8.1 and localization works ok.

 

Please help.

Best,

Setting it like you did in Web.config can cause null exceptions because the .cz resources are incomplete, and if it tries to use a missing key it can cause a null reference exception. Doing it the way I recommend it will always fall back to English for any missing keys and the language you set it to.

You'll also need to add these properties on <asp:ScriptManager in your layout.master file

EnableScriptGlobalization="true" EnableScriptLocalization="true" ie like this:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" EnablePageMethods="true" runat="server" EnableScriptGlobalization="true" EnableScriptLocalization="true" />

Hope that helps,

Joe

<globalization culture="auto:cs" uiCulture="auto:cs-CZ" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="iso-8859-15"/>

But still my calendar displays in English, but should in Czech, as here: http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/Calendar/Calendar.aspx
My using the calendar is here:

Any ideas?

Thanks JS

If you mean the help messages, those do not come from resx files so they cannot be translated using the Amanuens service but they can be translated. (The tooltips for the workflow icons do come from resource files but the help messages do not).

All the help files come from

/Data/HelpFiles

and there are also message templates which can be translated under

/Data/MessageTemplates

If you translate those files you can zip them and email them to me at joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

Best,

Is it possible to translate the Content Status Message? If so - where do I find it?

::Anette

I understand and I can follow Klaus' arguments, hence you are doing the same for the Admin Menu selection of the Mojoportal or do I miss something?

I actually have the same request and I tried to find a solution which does not touch the mojoportal in it's details.

I basically followed your suggestions re related sites.

I also added a language selection menu so the user can manually switch from one language to another.

Then I did as follows:

1) added a new file to the www-root, called default-init.aspx (just the very top site) with content as follows:

*********************************************************************************

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%
Dim strLanguage,strRedirect, strHost
strHost  = lcase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
strLanguage = lCase(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE")).substring(0,2)

Select Case strLanguage
Case "de"
 strRedirect = "/ge"
Case Else
 strRedirect = ""
End Select

Response.Redirect("http://" & strHost & strRedirect & "/default.aspx")
%>

 

*********************************************************************************

2) I changed in IIS the default document to be "default-init.aspx"

This way the browser selected language is being used to place the user to the language related site.

Nevertheless, the user has still the choice to change the language on the site itself if he wishes.

I've a multiwebsite, using folders, for:

1 English

2 Portuguese BR

3 Spanish

After upgrading, i'm having a lot of minor problems - maybe because i didn't update it for abour one year!

Ok, but i'm almost there.

I would like somebody could give me an advice:

Why is this happening:

• When you try to send a message using SiteId2, it's ok, i receive it.

http://www.telecomhall.com/br/contato.aspx

• When you try to send a message using SiteId 3, it says you must write something.

http://www.telecomhall.com/es/contacto.aspx

 

Seem's it's removing content from body?

I'm using TinyMCE 337 (instead of 347) because 347 removes some content as explained here:

http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23834

 

So please somebody give me an advice...

I'm not a programmer, just try to update, and now I'm lost into several small problems...:(

 

Is this a problem of Skin?

Is this a problem of TinyMCE version?

I understand that would be convenient but the place where its implemented is only executed when using related sites mode and I don't want to add something more complicated to meet that goal. In general when not using related sites mode the sites are independent and I don't want to start coding in little exceptions.

The main purpose of the close sites feature is so one could be creating the site content before it goes live to the public. It is not really reliable for upgrades though it might work for some upgrades it will not work when they involve updates to SiteSettings or SiteUsers tables because in those cases the sitesettings or site user cannot be loaded until after setup runs because errors will occur due to the schema changes, stored proc changes etc. So in those cases we can't check if the site is closed and we can't check if the user is allowed to view the closed site until after the setup page runs and gets the db back in synch.

For upgrades the safest way is to use an app_offline.htm file while uploading the new files then remove it and immediately visit setup page.

You could also execute a query to close the sites all at once and then touch Web.config to clear the site settings cache, or really as soon as you start uploading files it will clear the cache. Or you could implement a simple custom module to close all the sites and clear the sitesettings cache for each site if you really need that capability, I just don't see it as something I should bake in at this point.

Best,

Joe

This is now fixed in the source code repository so it will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,

Joe

I'm unable to join the group, it says account not found...do i need to signup a new account?  I've sent you an email with the snapshot of it.

Thanks for the reply once again, I shall read the docs. that i make clear about the resx files which im not thoroughly knowledged. But you are always welcome to add-me-in, when you want support for the translations of the South-Indian most specific languages like
1st Priority: Tamil, 2nd Priority: Kannada, 3rd Priority: Hindi

Plz. do add me in your mailing list and i shall first explore the Amanuens part and i will be needing the site's language culture to be working on other languages in the 2nd quarter of this year as i believe. Hope you have my email address on this mojoPortal.com site. Let me know how useful i can be in my part to contribute to this great innovation[mojoPortal].

Thanks :-)

However the reource files used for a given requests depends on either the browser language preference or if you configure it to force a specific language. See all the documentation starting at Localization for more details.

Didi you click my link for Amanuens? I should have got notification if you did click it but I did not. If you created an account without clicking the link I'll have to add you manually by email address, and I still need to know which language you want to translate first. But please only volunteer if you are really going to follow through and translate the files, otherwise when I create the translation on Amanuens it copies all the english resource files and it will just make our package have more files that are not really translated.

Best,

Joe

a new useful flag was recently introduced in Site Settings > Security to close a site for maintenance operation.

This flag is placed in the Main tab of Security Settings.

Ideally, when you close a multilanguage folder-based site for maintenance you are supposed to close all the sites of the whole mojoPortal installation, but currently when you close the main site all the other sites remain open, which could be right if you have a multisite installation where other site's security is not related to the main one.

Now if you have a second language sub-folder based site related to the main one, it is not possible to close it for maintenance because the Site Settings > Security > Main tab is not visible from the additional Site Settings.

Perhaps, if it is not possible to close all sites of an installationat once, the flag should be better placed at site level (General Tab ?), in order to let the administrator operate the closing at each site level.

Thanks.

Diego 

Thanks for the quick response. I have created an account on Amanuens.com and shall look into it and know what it is. Actually I was looking for a kind of language support like how wordpress supports all the languages that can be used in their HTML editor. I mean, anyone can type or Copy+Paste any language content on the HTML editor and save it and get it rendered with the same. I guess you got my point. I can show you few websites that seamlessly use the language "Kannada" and "Tamil" in them but when i tried on our mojoPortal, i wasn't, so i got this question.
Samples: Sumadhwaseva.com, madhwavani.com

Thanks,

We don't have any exisitng resource files for Indian languages, but if you would like to work on those translations we would be glad to have your help.

We use the Amanuens web site to enable translations, if you click this link, you can get an account at Amanuens and I will assign you the translations for Indian languages. You will be able to translate the resources using your web browser and your work will automatically synch with our source code repository every day. Probably should work on one language at a time, and once you get the first language up to date I can assign another one, so let me know which one is the highest priority for you to work on first.

Best,

Joe

I would like to bring the need for introducing the support for Indian languages like Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, etc.
Kindly let me know if the support for the Indian Languages are already existing in mojoPortal, because i never found such thing. Can You help me to localize or have support for most commonly used Indian languages as mentioned above? I need it for a community website that i'm building using mojoportal. Please help me. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks, I will fix that, not sure how or when it got that way it should have been utf8 all along.

Best,

Joe

web.config needs to be UTF-8 encoded.

when i tryed to replace characters in web.config the application crashed with standard complain about errors in web.config and making it UTF-8 solved the issue. So why not to make web.config and may be user.config too as UTF-8 or unicode by default.

Anyway if someone will follow this instructions do not forget to check your web.config encoding first.

Regards,

Victor

You should not change the <globalization element (except you can change the fileEncoding if you need to), that settings makes it fall back to English for missing resource keys and if you change it to something else it will cuase null exceptions for missing keys.

You can force a specific language/culture per site as documented here. Those instructions are complete, there are no other settings needed. The CultureHelperHttpModule uses those settings to set the thread culture, so the only other thing to check is to make sure this module is not commented out in Web.config.

The DefaultCountry setting is only used in the CountryStateSetting.ascx to set a default if no other selection has been made.

Hope that helps,

Joe
