Example. Tip for show flags in your webpage.

[Corbacho]

Hi everyone,

I really like this plugin and I don't have words to thank you your effort Qian Qin.

I have installed your plugin in my blog http://corbacho.info/finlandia (check that flags are floating) allowing you to show the flags in the sidebar with the widget for Wordpress. But I think that they can be unnoticed, so I will show you what I have done for spot the flags more easily. It's really easy trick with CSS.



If you have wordpress 2.7, go to the sidebar Appearance -> Editor -> style.css and at the end of the file put these two lines with your languages codes:

Code: Select all

.qtrans_flag_en { position:fixed;top:20px;left:2px;border:1px solid #BBBBBB }
.qtrans_flag_ES { position:fixed;top:40px;left:2px;border:1px solid #BBBBBB }

If you have a file called style.php you will have to do the same there too.

In my case is Spanish (.qtranslate_flag_ES) and English (_en), but yours can be different.
Try different distances in top and left.
If you wish to put them floating in the bottom of your page use bottom instead of top

Hi, thanks for this piece of code. My problem: When I remove the qtrans - lines again from style.css (style.php not available in aspire theme), the flags still appear in fixed position.

Is it just a cache problem (allthough all other changes are appearing instantanously) ? I tried to clear the Firefox3-Cache, but no menu-item seemed to match...
Or are other settings changed, when I change the style.css?

(I'm yet not so familiar with code changes in wordpress.)

Thanks for short reply,
Ralf

1. Make sure you press "update file" when you change style.css

2. Maybe is a cache issue, try to make a test: save the page in your hard disk. If your save it with the name mypage.html, then in the folder mypage_files should be the style.css. Open it with a text editor and check if "fixed" appears or not.

3. Maybe you have cache enabled in wordpress, I have wp-super-cache plugin. In the dashboard go to settings of wp-super-cache and empty the cache.

4. Open the webpage with a different browser.

MMm.. I don't know what else you can try. Tell here if nothing of these works.

This morning, the page showed up correctly. So I guess it was a cache problem. Alltougth for all other pages I never had trouble with the cache.
Your hints concerning wp-super-cache, storing the page, using different browser are usefull too. Whenever I run in trouble again, I'll remember that. Thanks!

interessting, is wp-super-cache working properly with qT now? Last time I tried it made all pages for different languages show up in the same one.

[Corbacho]

Yes, it works fine for me. With Wp 2.7

No, qTranslate (2.3.4) and WP Super Cache (0.9.4.3) still don't work together properly.

Tested on IE6 and IE7:
Enable full supercache. Open any page without logging in to WordPress. Change language and then change it back. The new language stays on whatever you do.
In Firefox and Chrome it works fine, I don't know why. I'm using "Pre-Path Mode (Default, puts /en/ in front of URL)".

Half cache (legacy WP-Cache caching) can be enabled without any problems.

too bad, i'd really like seeing super cache work with qT.

Is this a possible solution for the wp-super cache problem?:

qTranslate should use the "supercache_dir" filter rather than modifing the source code to modify that directory. You should contact the qtranslate plugin author to suggest he add a hook on that filter.

I've solved the problem with WP Super Cache and qTranslate as such:

I changed a line of code in WP Super Cache to alter the URL getting cached to include the language prefix:

$uri = "/" . qtrans_getLanguage() . $uri;
