guest HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE code in session.php

Post by sectionw »

Code to guess a guest browser HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE was commented out, was looking at doing just that for my board, so my question is will this be implemented for gold? or is it to be used in the following version.
Since i was looking at just doing that, can i uncomment the code and what was the problem with the code?

It was disabled because it only checks if the language pack is on the filesystem... But the pack can be installed, and not activated in the ACP. In this case, the guest user will receive an error. But I think that if all your language packs are activated, you should have no problems uncomment that code...

Code: Select all

/**
* If a guest user is surfing, we try to guess his/her language first by obtaining the browser language
* If re-enabled we need to make sure only those languages installed are checked
* Commented out so we do not loose the code.
If I understand correctly, they could reactivate this code in a later version, but they haven't taken a decision yet.
