How To Build a Multilingual Site Using The Site Builder?

Using Jamroom


Unfortunately there is no "comprehensive step by step guide on "how to Build a Multilingual Site using the Site Builder" in the Elastic Template" - I'm sorry to say.

You COULD do it with custom templates using the HTML Editor widget - i.e.
but that's really just using Site Builder for templates - you might as well use real templates.

Part of the problem here is that at this time there's no easy way to add custom language strings into the system that do NOT belong to a module or skin, and very, very few of our users have had a need for that. I'd like to tell you it's on it's way, but it's not, and I'm not sure when it will be supported.

If you need multilingual right now, you'd want to just use templates and not site builder - that's 100% doable right now. I know that's not what you're looking for though.

Sorry!

Installation and Configuration

If you're running virtual hosts, then errors to virtual hosts will NOT be in /var/log/apache2/error_log. Open the config file one of your virtual hosts and add:

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/whatever.com.error_log

replace "whatever.com" with your domain. Restart Apache.

To be 100% honest I am surprised you are at this point - don't you have a hosting provider that assists you with this stuff? Again - we can't be your system admin for you - these are things that should have been setup and confirmed working before you ever moved any live traffic to your server!

jamroom dependencies

Installation and Configuration


No - it's not a dependency - JR will use /usr/bin/convert if it is installed (for resizing animate GIFs) but it's required.

Here's the apt we use on Ubuntu 16.04:


This does not include MariaDB which is also installed.

So you're not using virtual hosting - this server is dedicated to a single web site that is running in /var/www/html - right?

How to localize whole Jamroom project into other language?

Using Jamroom

Thanks for the good feedback on Jamroom - it's awesome that you'd like to get it translated into Japanese.

One thing that is important for us is that when a user has questions about how to do something in JR, we can point them to a specific location - i.e. "click on ACP -> Core -> Core -> Global Config", etc.

If these values are modifiable, it makes it difficult for us to support the product, so at this time there's no plans to break out the master-admin only strings in the Jamroom ACP into language files.

I know that doesn't help you, and sorry for that - hopefully you know why that's hard for us to do.

Thanks!

Not the access_log - the error_log.

Then you've misconfigured your web server. If you are getting server errors, and the server is NOT logging them, then it is misconfigured or it's a bug and you should contact litespeed support.

Who's feeling the Radiohead?

Off Topic

I really would love to hear new Radiohead that I enjoy (I'm a big fan of OK Computer, the Bends and In Rainbows) but this isn't it. Radiohead has got progressively harder and harder for me to get into. They will occasionally come up on a nice groove - they will play it for 20 seconds and then they are done and never come back to it. Thom Yorke just sounds whinier and whinier every album too - sounds like he is trying too hard to be "different" and come back to the unique cadence that he seemed to be able to pull off a decade ago, but he just doesn't get it anymore.

Just my 2 cents but it always bums me when a new Radiohead tune or album is out and I WANT to like it, but just can't get in to it.

There has to be - if you get a 500 Internal Server Error, then it gets logged to the error_log:

- make sure error logging is enabled in your web server and restart
- make sure you are looking in the right place for the error_log - if you are using Virtual Hosting then the error_log could be defined by the virtual host and be in a different location.
