How to read bbPress Theme Switcher's theme user choice cookie outside of bbPress

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Hello,

    I would like to have bbPress in two languages, using the same forum DB. So when viewing in language 1, the forum's interface would be in language 1 with all the postings listed, and in language 2, the interface would be in language 2 with the same postings listed.

    I plan on achieving this with bbPress theme switcher ( http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/ ) and the link to switch between the themes/languages would be /bbpress/?bbtheme=lang1 and /bbpress/?bbtheme=lang2

    I would also like to set up a php page at the root of the web domain to auto-detect and forward to the appropriate mediawiki language page based on
    1) user's browser language preferences if this is a first time visit
    2) last connection's languages preferences, which would be saved in the form of bbPress's theme preference cookie.

    with a file structure of

    /blog
    /blog/bbpress
    /blog/wiki
    /langdetect.php

    My code so far is:

    ?php
    /* langdetect.php */

    $defaultlang = 'en'
    $lang = $defaultlang;

    /* bbPress theme cookie detection */
    if cookie exists {
    (read cookie and set $lang to either en or ko.. bla bla)
    }

    /* WordPress and/or MediaWiki last visit language detection */
    elseif previous visit info exists {
    (i'll figure this out later)
    }

    /* detect in-browser lang pref ... modified from http://kaldung.com/en/php_detectbrowserlanguage.html */
    else {
    $langlist = explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
    foreach($langlist as $curLang) {
    $curLang = explode(';', $curLang);
    /* use regular expression for language detection */
    if (preg_match('/(ko|en)-?.*/', $curLang[0], $reg)) {
    $lang = $reg[1];
    break;
    }
    }
    }

    /* redirect */
    if ( $lang=='ko' ) { header( 'Location: http://ENGLISHPAGE' ) ; }
    else { header( 'Location: http://ENGLISHPAGE' ) ; }

    ?>

    How can I read the bbPress cookie that contains the Theme Switcher theme preference?
