Choose language by URL

[hidepp]

There is any way to choose the language of Roundcube typing directly on URL, like mydomain.com/webmail/index.php?l=en?

Working on a patch, guys...

Alrighty, here we go:
Add these lines before any code in the index.php (around line 43):

Code Select Expand

if(isset($_GET['lang']) && $_GET['lang'] != "" && $_GET['lang'] != $_COOKIE['RCMAILUSERLANG']) {
setcookie("RCMAILUSERLANG",$_GET['lang'],time()+60*60*24);
$_GET['RCMAILUSERLANG'] = $_GET['lang'];
}
Now, in the /program/include/main.inc, change line 95 from

Code Select Expand

$sess_user_lang = rcube_language_prop($_SESSION['user_lang']);
to this:

Code Select Expand

$sess_user_lang = strip_quotes(get_input_value('RCMAILUSERLANG', RCUBE_INPUT_GPC));;
Also, add this line after line 343 so that lines 343 and 344 read as follows:

Code Select Expand

setcookie('sessauth', '-del-', time()-60);
setcookie("RCMAILUSERLANG",'-del-',time()-60);
Basically, what's happening is that a cookie is set with the language code and that is used throughout the session until they log out. Also, if &lang= something different is added at any time in the session, it switches the active language in the cookie.
Hope this helps you out!!

adding ?lang=XX at the login screen will switch the session's language code (XX being the language code, such as es, ru, en, etc.) until the user logs out, when the cookie is cleared and it should reset to your default after a refresh.

what happend now?

on the loginscreen it change the language, but after logging in, its allways english and I cannot change the language

Make sure that this step was done correctly:

Add these lines before any code in the index.php (around line 43):

Code Select Expand

if(isset($_GET['lang']) && $_GET['lang'] != "" && $_GET['lang'] != $_COOKIE['RCMAILUSERLANG']) {
setcookie("RCMAILUSERLANG",$_GET['lang'],time()+60*60*24);
$_GET['RCMAILUSERLANG'] = $_GET['lang'];
}


Also make sure the others went through as well. If you could shoot me the url to your login (PM it it you'd rather), I'll try to ensure the cookie works.
