Problem with language param

[pinup57]

Hi

I have a weird problem: I retrieve the language setting from the site setting. (in Joomla!). The following happens: when I start with a clean cache, I get an error: problem, le language parameter should be a charater string (including the typo ). What I need to do, is comment out the lines that set the language param, then load the chat so it defaults to english, do a rehash, close the chat, uncomment the lines that set the language param, reopen the chat and now it works. Seems like the very first time the configuration is created, it doesn't accept other than default language setting. The language setting is "fr_FR".

Does your joomla language parameter is a string ?
Did you try to cast it in string using the "(string)" word ?

Ok, finally found it. (lost some hair, I admit). I'm both new to joomla! and php, and although I have c++ and delphi skills I am a bit lost sometimes....

FYI: when I include the script in a joomla content item, I can't retrieve many joomla configuration variables the "usual" way, eg:

Code: Select all

<?php echo "absolute path is: ".$mosConfig_absolute_path;?>

does work, but

Code: Select all

<?php echo "site language is: ".$mosConfig_locale;?>

doesn't. Must be some scope issue, whatever...

But in all cases, this works:

Code: Select all

<?php echo "site language is: ".$GLOBALS['mosConfig_locale'];?>

Anyway, I managed to get PFC working nicely inside Joomla, I can use CommunityBuilder data and eveything, so all's well for now!

I'll post a demo.php for joomla as soon as I have some free time, it might help other users.

Thanks for your support!
