How can I modify on server side browser language detection

Hello Joe,

  I want to detect the browser language for redirect my site to specific interface.

  I put this section:

<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack && Session["lang"] == null)
{
string[] languages = Request.UserLanguages;
string lang = languages[0].Substring(0,2);
if (lang=="es" || lang=="fr" || lang=="de")
{
Session["lang"] = lang;
if (lang == "es")
Response.Redirect("sp");
else
Response.Redirect(lang);
}
}
}
</script>

on layout.Master from path wwwroot\Data\Sites\1\skins\skinbyVali

 

This code works ok but my layout is broken for site 1

How can I put this code behind? Where i should write this?

I have on site 1 already some custom modules created with codesmith and postbuild..

 


Thanks,

   Valik

You should not put code directly in the layout.master file. Instead, encapsulate your logic in a UserControl and then add the UserControl to your layout.master.

Hope it helps,

Joe

(maybe because is not the layout.Master which exist in site 1)

Re: How can I modify on server side browser language detection

You should not modify the mojoPortal source code at all, if you upgrade you will lose changes.

The site uses the layout.master file from the skin folder at /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins/[skinname]/layout.Master

However the layout.Master file in every included skin inherits from App_MasterPages/layout.Master.cs

This code behind handles assigning css classes to the divCenter based on whether each of the panels has any content or menus in it, so it facilitates automatic column layout from 1 to 3 columns.

Nothing stops you from making a new layout.Master that inherits from your own code behind file but then you lose the built in column layout feature.

Best to just create a custom UserControl and declare it in the layout.master file of your skin without touching the C# code in layout.Master.cs.

Hope it helps,

Joe
