Question

I would like to make a link the will be in the layout to change the language. So it should work for many routes.

for example
i’m on the page /en/myModule

and the links should point to
/de/myModule
/fr/myModule

I found a solution here :http://oldforum.symfony-project.org/index.php/m/70452/

<?php echo link_to(
  'Germany', 
  '@default?' . http_build_query(array(
    'sf_culture' => 'de', 
    'module' => $sf_request->getParameter('module'), 
    'action' => $sf_request->getParameter('action'))
  ), null, '&')) ?>

Problem is that I need a default route, and I don’t want to have it.

Is there any solution for what I need ?

Answer 1

routing:
  user_switch_culture:
   url: /culture-change/:language
   param: { module: user, changeCulture }

In your layout template:

<?php echo link_to(image_tag("flags/gb.gif"), "user_switch_culture", array("language"=>"en", "redirect"=>$sf_request->getUri())) ?>

Link will generate:

http://example.com/culture-change/fr?redirect=http//example.com/fr/control-panel

In your action:

public function executeChangeCulture(sfWebRequest $request)
{
    $oldCulture = $this->getUser()->getCulture();
    $newCulture = $request->getParameter("language");
    $this->getUser()->setCulture($newCulture);
    return $this->redirect(str_replace('/'.$oldCulture.'/', '/'.$newCulture.'/', $request->getParameter("redirect")));
}

Just off the top off my head. should work…

Not great: Should do some filter on the redirect to make sure it’s the correct domain name etc.
