Change Language in Ofbiz

[Florin Popa]

Hello,

Please help me with the following issue described below.

Problem :

How to implement functionality to be able to stay on the same page after the
user change language (http, https)

Details:

In order to be able to change the language and return to the same page the
last user action before change language should be saved entirely to redirect
the user back to it.

What I tried was to keep the last url accessed before change language along
with the parameters used (for reproducing entirely the last state before
change language was accessed), and after change the language to redirect the
user to this url.

The problem appeared when for example you add an item to cart from a product
page and the user is kept on the same page after the item is added. The last
accessed url in this case was add to cart and after the user changes his
language the response was redirected to the add to cart url.

Another problem was that when you log into the application you enter in an
https area and the url is created with https but the parameters from the
last request are present in the url after redirect which is not desired.



Thanks,
 Flopa

I ask this when it was first implemented.
it was designed to reset.
it would take a lot of rethink to not do this, from what I saw of the code.
However if you find a way besure to submit a patch, through a jira.

For a pattern of how to do this check out the add to cart request (and  
more importantly how it is used in productdetail and other templates)  
which does support staying on the same page, even though the request  
is always the same it goes to different views when it is done.

Hi,

Thanks for both replies. We will try it and if possible to improve
something, of course we can share it.
We are a team working on customization of e-commerce since almost a
year. Soon I can share a demo as well as some additional development
like advanced Ebay integration or ajax based shopping cart refresh..
Another interesting topic we had to implement ourselves (hosting more
shops under the same ofbiz instance as well as admin users controlling
at the same time more shops)

Best regards,
 Flopa

Hello,

I thought hosting more shops under the same ofbiz instance in ofbiz 4.0 was
already implemented, isn't it?
