I have not tested it with 3.6.0, but it works for all 3.5.x versions and for 3.6.2, so it should work for 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 too.

After you have installed the plugin, there will be not new points in the settings. You have to go to the plugin-area and edit the plugin-code direct. So click on "Plugins & Products" in the left menue in the Admin-CP, then select "Plugin Manager".

There you click on "Edit" at the plugin "Set automatic forumlanguage to browserlanguage". To have a better overview increase the size of the edit-box 3 or 4 times. Scroll to the end of the plugin-code. There you find direct above the edit-description the lines, where you can assign the language-code to your language ID.

If you still have problems to find it, I can provide some screenshots.


Best regards

Jörg

1.) Open Admin Panel
2.) Check Languages (with my board German is ID1 and English ID2)
3.) Go Plugins & Products
4.) Manage Plugins
5.) Click "edit" for "Set automatic forumlanguage to browserlanguage"
6.) Check code at the end. If you only run German and English, you might want to delete French or set it to German/English.

Do your testing with your browser, delete cookies and stuff ...

No, there is no visible change. Please look at the top, there is the short-description what this hack do.

To give an example:

You have installed the following languages on your board: English, German, French.

A visitor, that has never been bevore on your forum comes to your website with the board. Without any modification the user see the board in the language, you have defined as default. Let's say English. To change the language the user has to select it from the drop-down menu at the bottom.

With this hack, a first-time visitor from France would see the board immedeately in French, without changing the language manually.

That's what the hack is doing.

How you set the hack correct to the languages you have installed, is described in the downloadable installation-description.

How to get there, has uspange described in the post above very good.


BR

Jörg

Hi Greek76 !

The only idea I have is the following: After you have added a different language-preferenz to your browser, have you changed the order, so the new language is on top ?

And it is important, that you logout from your board, and do not click anything after logging out, otherwise again a cookie would be set. So logout, and then close the browser window, then start your browser again.

What browser are you using ? I admit, I have tested it only with IE 6.0. But it should work with all browsers.


Best regards

Jörg

Never thought about that. I will check this. If it works, then it would be also only for first-time visitors with no cookie. The user is always able to change the style.
