[Pmwiki-users] URL-based multilanguage support

[Dominique Faure]

Hi,

I've found a workaround to this problem when developping my skin:

I made a 'skin.php' containing the following code:
===8<----------------------------------------------
...
global $PageQueryString;
$PageQueryString = $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] ? '?' . $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] 
: '';
...
===8<----------------------------------------------

Then, in my related 'skin.tmpl', I wrote my link as below in order to keep 
previous parameters.
===8<----------------------------------------------
...
<a href='$PageUrl$PageQueryString#TopOfPage'>...</a>
...
===8<----------------------------------------------

Here, I just added an anchor, but you may easily append your own parameter 
to the url.
The complete skin code is reachable at http://dominique.faure.1.free.fr
