I read this
the best way to make codeigniter website multi-language. calling from lang arrays depends on lang session?
for language inclusion...
i wonder how the url will appear for multi languages...
How to show the language in url so that it will also be indexed in search engines...
for example sitenameDOTcom/es or sitenameDOTcom/whoweare/es or something like this and how to sync with the controllers and the urls...
ah, i found an article in the codeigniter forums.
here it is ...
https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/wiki/URI-Language-Identifier
previously the url was like the following and now it doesn't work.

and here is a live example i am using

I want to implement the option for multi-language on my website. I am using codeigniter framework, and I already implement the codeigniter language library that convert all labels to desire language. But I want my website should also be able to convert the contents from database into desired language.
How can i do that?
Thanks.
Have a look on this tutorial.
Creating multilingual website using codeigniter
I've got a very unique situation that I don't believe any of the other topics here can relate.
I have a ecommerce module that is dynamically loaded / embedded into third party sites, no iframe straight JSON to web client into content. I have no access to these third part sites at all, other then my javascript file being loaded from their page and dynamically generating the content.
I'm aware of the #! method, but that's no good here, my JS does generate "urls" within the embedded platform, but they're fake and for the address bar only, and I don't believe google crawlers can reach this far.
So my question is, is there a meta that we can set to point outside the url to i.e. back to my server with static crawlable content. I.e. pointing the canonical to my server... but again I don't think that would work.
If you implement #! then you have to make sure the url your embedded in supports the fragment parameter versions, which you probably can't. It's server side stuff.
You probably can't influence the canonical tag of the page either. It again has to be done server side. Any meta tag you set via JavaScript will not be seen by a bot.
Disqus solved the problem by providing an API so the embedding websites could get there comments server side and render then in plain html. WordPress has a plugin to do this. Disqus are also one of the few systems that Google has worked out how to crawl their AJAX pages.
Some plugins request people to also include a plain link with the JavaScript. Be careful with this as you may break Google Guidelines if you do it wrong. But you may be able to integrate the plain link with your plugin so that it directs bots and users to a crawlable version of the content.
Look into Google's crawlable ajax standard (and why it's a bad idea) and canonical URLs.
Now you can actually do this. A complete guide and examples can be found here: https://github.com/kubrickology/Logical-escaped_fragment
In the views in codeigniter, we can write code for forms using codeigniter. For example for an url the code in codeigniter is:
<?php
anchor('site/myfunction','Send');
?>
My question is whether is better write this code with html in the views:
Send
It's an example, but the question is with all HTML helpers for views. CodeIgniter's user guide suggests to use PHP functions rather than code html. The php code requests to the server while html does not. Is better use the CodeIgniter for HTML? I don't know if when I use CodeIgniter's helpers, the framework has contemplated these requests.
I apologize for my english. Thanks for your answer.
The reason you want to use CodeIgniters library is for the ability to quickly modify your HTML elements site-wide with very little work. For instance, let's say you wanted all <a> tags on your site to have a class added called "ajax". Using the anchor helper, you can accomplish this easily.
That said, I don't really foresee many solutions where you will be changing HTML elements site-wide. With semantic HTML, CSS, and Javascript I think you will be perfectly fine without having to use CodeIgniters HTML helpers. Also in my opinion your code will be much more readable. Use HTML.
Regarding performance
When you say "code php does requests to the server while html, no" you're wrong because whenever someone visits your site they are requesting the server. The question here is how much work the PHP engine is doing versus just your normal webserver. In this case, a function call is trivial for PHP and shouldn't be considered performance wise.
Regarding urls
The answer by Pi is focused on the fact that URL resolution in CodeIgniter can be weird, but with proper .htaccess or web.config configurations you should be able to use vanilla hrefs without using CodeIgniter functions.
You should not use
Send
Because it might not work everywhere. But if you use this:
Send
There will be no big difference. Pure HTML is a bit faster but unless you have a high traffic website that does not matter. Using the CI function is nice if you are in a library because you do not want to mix PHP and HTML to much to keep up the Model-View-Controller concept. What you use in a view is a matter of style what you like more.
Personally I think the codeigniter form functions are not very good and I am often use html instead.
I am starting to set up a personal website, and I would like it's layout to look something like
-------------------------------
- Page Header & Menus Go Here -
-------------------------------
- Main Contents -
-------------------------------
- Footers -
-------------------------------
The main question is that I would like it to be a single-page interface in which the main contents are loaded and displayed with a combination of AJAX and jQuery to produce a nice effect. However, I would, of course, like to have the contents bookmark-enabled and indexed by search engines. I have skimmed throught the Single Page Interface Manifesto which explains some nice ways of achieving this, but I wouldn't really like to have my URLs like
http://www.mysite.com/index.php#!section=section1
http://www.mysite.com/index.php#!section=section2
I would, of course, like to re-write them as
http://www.mysite.com/section1
http://www.mysite.com/section2
My questions are this whether this approach is correct/doable and if AJAX URLs are compatible with URL rewriting. What URLS would be indexed by, say, Google anyway?
If you want your page to work without reloading and update at the same time the page's URL, the only way to archieve this is by changing the hash in the URL (location.hash = 'whatever').
URL rewriting cannot be used since the hash is not sent to the server, it's only available in the browser's scope.
Check Facebook or Twitter URLs. They are prettier than #!section=section1 but still need the hash.
Cheers.
If you want to load different content/tabs/some content of page without reloading browser,
Now It is possible with pjax..
you can use something like http://padrino-pjax.heroku.com/
you can try it, go to the link and click on any of links home,dinosaurs,aliens
and you will see It will change url and some content without reloading full page
It is achieved using ajax+push/pop of url in browser
I'm looking for a solution myself for a similar problem (I have a client site with an AJAXed wordpress theme, and these dreadful #! stuff on the URL prevent all the Social sharing plugins I have tried so far, from working correctly).
Apparently, there is a solution (with some drawbacks ofc..). I found about it here: http://moz.com/blog/create-crawlable-link-friendly-ajax-websites-using-pushstate
I know it's like two years since you've asked, but it could be helpful for someone else, or you may wanna check it out just for the sake of the curiosity itself! :-)
So I'm new to both Joomla and Expression Engine, and want to know if I can use it like I'd like. I've already made a full site, and would like to integrate blogging into the site. The site is on CodeIgniter.
Is there a way that I could create a form template for submitting a post which would then save to my Joomla/CodeIgniter DB. Then, on a different page, use a different Joomla/CodeIgniter template to display the blog in the form I would like.
Note that this wouldn't necessarily be powered by EE or Joomla. From what I understand, and from all the examples I've seen, you have to make the html of the entire page inside of their templates.
At worst, if neither work, is there anything I can use to do this?
Thanks!
I would think EE would be the way to go since as of a few months ago, EE was 100% built on CodeIgnitor. I'm not sure from your question what you are trying to do - but in short, if you install/use EE to power your blog it is going to write to the EE database. That said, you can embed anything within an EE template (raw PHP or CI), including a form that would post to your existing site database.
There's some talk about this on the EE forums:
