Has anyone been able to do multilingual ad categor

Has anyone been able to do multilingual ad categories?

I have. i use EN and NL

No language keys. i added extra fields in the tables and added the code.

I have to ask, Is it worthwhile to have the category names translatable, when the user content supplied under those categories can not be translated?

HL, that is a good question. I think it is. I have done it for the news and listing modules also. As for a lot of people do not understand the English category names so it make sense to translate into their native language.

Maybe it's to much work but I think i had to do it for my members.

Я с вами полностью согласен. Это необходимо для пользователей

 Please detail describe. I think that it will be for many, very helpful.

I will post some info on monday or i can send you PM.

I look forward to your post.

Panfilov, this is just a small bit of the changes.
I am not responsible for any errors or site crashes. Backup your files b4 you make any changes.

To create extra multi language category fields (example: Modzzz:listing)
Add two fields in table:
modzzz_listing_categ

field: name_nl => this can be a different name
field: uri_nl => this can be a different name

File to change: BxListingPageCategory

in function getCategories()

// Change the code
$scountry_code = getCurrentLangName();
            if($scountry_code == 'nl') {
                $sCategory = $aEntry['name_nl'];
            }else{
                $sCategory = $aEntry['name'];
            }

For every other language you have to add the fields in the table.

NOTE: this can not be used for the default categories (photos, videos etc) as the code is build up in a different way.

There i have added a language ID field. The php code checks the lanID and only shows the categories with that lanID.

if you want the code for that just pm me Panfilov.

Thank you for the information.

To my regret I can not find the file at BxListingPageCategory.

If Could you write all the steps.

Thanks in advance to you.

Where do you want to add this? what module(s)?
This code is done in the modzzz listing, jobs and property modules and i changed my default category table also.(lot of custom coding involved)

Like i said, if you want to do this for general categories that is used in photos, videos standard mods it's is different.

Also some 3rd party modules don't use a table for categories.

Judging from the title of this topic, and the very first post of this topic, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he's talking about the Ads module.

HL, that good be the module. But it never hurts to ask to make sure right.

I understand that multilingual website categories, categories of ads, store categories and subcategories, all users satisfied. Dolphin can not do this, treading water. Currently, any engine online store or a social network have full multilingual site by default. A Boonex here just wrote that in the future we invent the best thing, such as "the wheel". As has already been made multilingual?

Dear AlexT!

I looked up information on your link. I understand that you dream implement a multilingual, in the version of Dolphin 7.2.0. Found the first mention of the Dolphin 7.2.0., Which has been made by you, 2 years ago. Will likely have to wait very long, and not the fact that it will be implemented ......

Dolphin 7.2 isn't far from the release.
