[TYPO3-english] Add language parameter to external link

[Joerg Wagner]

Hello Tony,

external link ...

I had a similar problem with menu items that had to link to external 
urls and also needed the L parameter to be attached. Took me quite some 
time to solve it. Maybe my solution can be adapted to your problem.


TS-Setup:

config.sys_language_uid = 0
[globalVar = GP:L=1]
   config.sys_language_uid = 1
[global]
[globalVar = GP:L=2]
   config.sys_language_uid = 2
[global]
...

includeLibs.myUserFunctions = fileadmin/templates/php/ts_user_functions.php

...

# TS of the menu that contains external URLs:
lib.mainMenu = HMENU
lib.mainMenu {
   1 = GMENU
   1 {
     NO {
       allStdWrap.postUserFunc.langUID < config.sys_language_uid
       allStdWrap.postUserFunc = user_functions->user_addLangIdToExternalUrl
       ...
     }
   ...
   }
}



The PHP function in file ts_user_functions.php:

<?php
class user_functions{
   function user_addLangIdToExternalUrl($content, $conf){
     // get params from calling TS
     $pLangUID = $conf['langUID'];  // config.sys_language_uid

     // if link type is "external url" replace link to redirecting page 
with external url and add language param
     if($this->cObj->data['doktype']==3){
       $content = preg_replace('/(<a[^>]*href=")[^"]*("[^>]*>)/i', 
'$1http://'.$this->cObj->data['url']."?L=$pLangUID".'$2', $content);
     }

     return $content;
   }
}
?>


Should work for TMENU too. Side effect is that the href attribute of the 
modified links points directly to the external urls instead of an 
internal page id that is normally internally redirected by TYPO3.

Hope that helps,
Jörg.
