Hi everyone.
I'm using the everyone.net search plugin in my site. AX3 is in english and spanish, so I'd like to load a different menu (spanish or english) depending on the clicked link.
That is:
http://www.ax3.net/en > click to "search" (english)> load english menu.
http://www.ax3.net/es > click to "buscar" (spanish) > load spanish menu.
I've tried to explain it as easy as I could. I suppose it may be done with cookies...
Any help is welcome & Thanks for advance.
well you could either build 2 differant pages. or you could use ASP or PHP that would read a variable and if true it would display the proper .js
example (basic basic code php)
if (isset=$en)
include for .js file english
else
include for .js file spanish
endif;
Again dont' take this code at face value. half the fun with this is learning to write it like me
Thanks Jonese.
But here is the main problem(s):
- I can't use ASP or PHP because of my server.
- Everyone.net search is as service provided remotely and i can only configure a template page.
- I don't know quite nothing about ASP or PHP.
In order to help all of you to help me i have "drawed" a map:
AX3 English AX3 Spanish
\ /
AX3 search (everyone service)
/ \
load eng_menu.js load spa_menu.js
I've done all the possible to make it clear.
I want to load a different menu in the 2 languages, but i need to mantain the preferences through all the search.
We'll see...

OK. I'll try to explain better.
My site is in english & spanish. I have a search service provided by -->everyone.net but i can only configure a template page (my menus, logos...) and the not editable part of the page is the "aim" of the search. So if you search (J. Iglesias, i.e.) you'll find english and whatever Iglesias' pages. I am only trying that my visitors can return to the main site (ax3.net) in the language they had choosen before.
I paste the code they gave me to make the problem clear:
<html>
<head>
<title>$PAGE_TITLE</title>
</head>
<body $BODY_CONTENT>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr height="1">
<td valign="bottom" width="1%" align="center">$LOGOIMAGE</td>
<td valign="bottom" width="99%" align="center">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><a href="$SITEURL">Home</a></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr size=1 width="100%">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td valign="bottom" align="center">$ADVERTISEMENT</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
$PAGE_CONTENT
</body>
</html>
--> The $ are the non-configurable sections.
Thanks for your help again. I know the question is quite difficult.
I don't think your being too clear in explaining the problem, but here goes.
when the person makes the KEY SELECTION (whether english or spanish) then set a cookie with the prefered language.
when they go back to the main page, then read the cookie and direct the person to the proper page.
simple, but not as efficient...remember that you're using a free service.

I'm quite desperate because i don't find the way to do it and how to explain the problem better.
I've been checking few tutorials about cookies (few bcause i haven't fount more) and they are as clear as my last posts.
I try again.
2 versions (languages english (EN) & spanish(SP) ) of the site
1 configurable remote search service
That's what i pretend:
Someone visiting version EN clicks to "search" button hosted in AX3 page, and it's transported to everyone.net search service; then an english menu is displayed.
Someone visiting version SP clicks to "buscar" button... it's transported to the search service; then a spanish menu is displayed.
That's it.
As I don't know how to write a cookie i'd like you to show me howto, because if i can make one myself i could progress in my knowledge in javascript, cookies... I know that doing this with ASP or PHP would be much easier, but the host i'm paying doesn't allow them. I'll change the host next year.
Thanks...
