Per URL Catalogs?

Hey all,

First off, I have to say that this piece of software is awesome! Excellent work!

Is it possible to have a catalog based on an exact url or is it only by site name at the moment?

The reason is that the site I am building comes in 3 languages and is 100% templated.

To change languages I pass a $_GET var to a page, ex: http://xxxxx/index.php?lang=en

This value is stored in a $_SESSION var and all future pages are rendered in the appropriate language. (default is en)

So, what I would like to do is have 3 search catalogs:
1. http://xxxx/index.php?lang=en
2. http://xxxx/index.php?lang=fr
3. http://xxxx/index.php?lang=es

Then, depending on the current language I can query the appropriate catalog for results.

Is this possible?

Hi. I'm not quite sure what mods you've made, but perhaps use something like the following in the config file.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (isset($_SESSION['lang'])) {

    $lang = $_SESSION['lang'];

}



if ((!isset($phpdig_language)) || (($lang != 'en') && ($lang != 'fr') && ($lang != 'es'))) {

    $phpdig_language = "en";

}

else {

    $phpdig_language = $lang;

}

Ah, no mods were made here :)

Your software was built well enough for me to instantly integrate it with my templating system (http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_Template_Xipe)

I'm just wondering what will happen on my site if someone using the french version makes a query. I would'nt want them to see english results and vice versa.

If there was a way to setup 3 different spiders, one for each language, I could query against the proper language.

The problem that I think I see here is that the spider only allows one set of results per domain name whereas my current setup uses the same domain name to serve 3 languages.

I think that my quickest solution at the moment will be to setup three 3rd level domains and spider each of them:

http://en.whatever.com (english)
http://es.whatever.com (spanish)
http://fr.whatever.com (french)

Ah, I see and agree with three separate installs for what you're looking to do. :)
