Hi all,
I'm trying to add international support for a website based on the
Erlang Web 1.4.
I would like to have a couple of links on every page (the notorious
Country flags) that allow the user to set his language session variable.
What I have right now is a link like:
<li><a href="/session/language/en">English</a></li>
Where, in the session controller I do:
language(Args) ->
LanguageId = proplists:get_value(id, Args),
case language_is_supported(LanguageId) of
false ->
ok;
true ->
wpart:fset("session:lang", LanguageId)
end,
{redirect, "/"}.
The problem is that, after setting the preferred language, I would like
the user to be redirected to the page he was visiting before changing
the language. In this case the "__path" variable doesn't help because it
contains the language request and not the "previous" one.
How could I resolve this situation?
I'm probably using the wrong approach but I cannot thing to anything
else right now.
Cheers,
Roberto Aloi

Hi Roberto,
the first thing which comes to me, is to have link to 'session handler' (/session/language/en) dynamic. Every time you load some page, you can rebuild it.
So, for example, if you are on startpage.html, link could look like /sesssion/en/startpage.html.
Another solution, would be to encode the link in GET variable. The link would look like /session/language/en?current_address=startpage.html.
Finally, it would be possible to make it in more RESTful way and keep in every link to content, on your page, language code (/en/startpage.html), but this is not too good for search engines and indexing (I guess?).

Roberto,
I am not sure whether Erlang Web supports this, but one option would
be to add the current page to the language-setting URL, and then
retrieve it in the controller. i.e.something like
<li><a href="/session/language/en?/the/current/page.html">English</a></li>
(suitable escaped, of course) and then pick it out again for the redirect.
Make any sense?
