I need ti develop multilanguage webiste with (russian, english and kyrgyz languages), each article has version only in one language.
Can you please help me with questions:
1. how to create context for kyrgyz language? is it just put culturekey=kg?
2. how to translate oarts of chunks, i.e "comments" or buttons? do I need to create different chunks for new contexts? Or I simply save translation somewhere?
3. how to control which resources will be shown through pdoresources (getresources)? do I need to put id from all contexts?
4. for context web — pages has alias mywebsite.ru/category/article, but for "en" context — mywebsite.ru/en/INDEX/category/article. how to remove index? when i try to use link like mywebsite.ru/en/ — it shows 503 error. what can be the problem?
Thanks!
Create new context
Use lexicon entry. If you don't want to create a new namespace, just use core.
If you read the documentation, you can see the available parameters to define the parent, resources, or excluded resources to show.
You need to check your .htaccess and all friendly URL settings. 503 itself means unavailable site. Check your system settings, and search for site_status key. It should be "yes" for a running website.

I've never used Drupal before (development or managing content). I was asked to extend the admin content page to have a filter and simply don't know enough to get moving quickly.
Can anyone tell me if adding a search by text filter in the admin content area requires code or is there a CMS feature like adding a node for this task.
If code is required, is there something like a hook for this area? Not sure where to start. I will be investigating on my own but pointers to get me oriented to Drupal would help.
By default Drupal provides search mechanism ready to use. But there are also additional module which can improve search experience. You don't need any coding to use that search. You already have search form block ready to use.
Go to Structure -> Blocks and find block called "Search form". Now all you have to do is to put that block in some region and it will appear on front-end. Of course if it's not already styled by your theme it may be needed to put some extra CSS to make it look nice. There are also some template files which you can override and put some your HTML if you need.
There's also template file for search results page (which of course will work out of box also).
You may also need to create new block region if you want to place your form at some specific place, not covered by any existing region defined by your theme (easy thing to do!).
See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/q/30633/101329, the "Admin Views" module lets you configure the search form as you like.
How can i localize the drop down option for the search mode? I did some digging and was able to adjust the localization for the search form labels but i'm at loss here.
The CMS Module SearchDialog.ascx call the drop down list here, but i can't see where the values come from.
<cms:CMSDropDownList runat="server" ID="drpSearchMode" CssClass="DropDownField" />
Go to the localization App and create resource strings for
"srch.dialog.AllWords"
"srch.dialog.AnyWord"
"srch.dialog.anywordorsynonyms"
"srch.dialog.ExactPhrase"
Believe those are the 4 you need.
I couldn't find official documentation that helps much with this, though there have been articles in the past on older versions. However, one trick I've used previously is to look in the ~/CMSResources/cms.resx file, find the localized string there, and add a new one with the same key to the Localization module in Kentico. That is, add a new resource string in Kentico with the same key (the naming will be different depending on your version of Kentico).
Here's the docs discussing setting up a multilingual interface: https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Setting+up+a+multilingual+user+interface
And here's a screenshot of the resx file:
So in your case I'd create a new resource string within Kentico called "srch.dialog.allwords" as an example and that should overwrite and take priority over whatever is in the .resx file, plus you can manage it via the Kentico admin. There may be a quicker or more reliable way to view the list of default resource strings but in my recent installs of Kentico, the list is hidden from the admin interface.
Alternatively, of course, you could manage the resource strings via various .resx files as in the documentation, but I try to manage as much of these pieces via Kentico as possible for convenience.
I have this requirement:
We have a journalarticle and we wish to have sections which have content for internal and external users for the application.
We are able to hide the content from rendering by implementing custom template on web content display and using a simple custom-field for a user which helps us to classify it.
Having said that when we search something as an external user, the search portlet is able to fetch an article where the search text is a part of internal user content, and due to the above mentioned template the content is not visible.
In short, from the user's perspective the resultant article does not match the searched term.
I wish to seek some pointer to check whether there is a mechanism to ensure that when an external user searches something then we only search the dynamic-element of the doc which matches the user type?
We have thousands of such articles and create multiple copy of the same article does not seems viable solution.. so any pointers would be a great help.

First of all: Not finding a search term in a document can be a sign of good working synonym resolution in the search engine. It's questionable if this behaviour is always wrong or only in this particular case. Remember google bombs?
That being said, I believe that this architecture of half-visible documents is flawed from the beginning. Ideally I'd suggest to change it, for example by splitting the information to two articles, so that you can use the standard permissions to resolve. If you link both, you can determine how/which article or template to use. It's not an ideal solution, but might be a workaround.
Another workaround might be to change Liferay's indexer component and index two different versions of the article, with two different permissions. Of course, you'll have to change the search side as well, so that you'll find each article at most once, even if it's now twice in the search engine.
Again - not ideal, but might be the quickest fix that you can get right now without changing the underlying architecture. However, to change the underlying architecture is my actual recommendation.
I have seen many somewhat similar questions, but nothing quite what I'm looking for. So at the risk of being told this is a duplicate... here it goes.
I've found that there are times I have a node that simply contains content that will be displayed somewhere else, but shouldn't be viewed directly. That is, no one should ever go to node/1234, but the content in node 1234 should be displayed somewhere else.
For example, I create an about page with tabbed content using views. So there are "About Me", "About Us" and "About Them" pages. All of these are displayed in a single page with tabs using Views. So I don't want people to get directly to the "About Us" node because then they wouldn't see the tabs for the other pages. At the same time, I don't want Google giving people a direct link to this node, I want to limit access so users can only get to it through the View (i.e., the tab).
So I need to restrict access to the node, remove it from the Drupal search results, and make sure Google doesn't pick up on it. Any suggestions?
---- Note ----
I've accepted the answer from mingos (thanks btw) because even though it's not a full answer / solution, it gave me some good things to think about. Additional answers are still welcome.
In Drupal 7 you can use: http://drupal.org/project/internal_nodes
Description: Some content/nodes should never be viewed directly; only visible be through something else such as Views or Panels. This module denies access to node/[nid] URLs while allowing the content to stay published and otherwise viewable.
Full disclosure: I am the creator and co-maintainer of Internal Nodes. I found this question while searching to see how the module could be found on Google.
Tough one.
If you want to have many nodes like this and do the "displaying elsewhere" dynamically, I can't think of anything right now (at 2:20 AM I rarely can).
If there is onne such page (or very few), I'd restrict access to it by any available means (Permissions, Nodeaccess, Content Access, TAC, whatever) and then create special themes for the pages where the restricted content should be displayed. The themes would contain database queries, fetching content from the restricted nodes.
Other possibility might include creating a special theme for the hidden nodes in question (perhaps all belonging to the same content type?). Make full node display nothing (or a message saying the access is restricted) and add a ROBOTS meta tag asking Google not to index the page. Make the teaser view available though - you can display it freely inside a view, but since /node/1234 is the FULL view, the actual content will be unavailable here.
Dunno if this solves your problem, hope it helps at least a bit.
I found this page after running into this same problem.
What I found worked for me might be part of the answer you need:
Take a look at the Page Manager Redirect Module http://drupal.org/project/page_manager_redirect . I just started playing with it.
It uses the Page Manager module of CTools to redirect one page to another. What makes this most powerful is that Page Manager uses Contexts. So, if you want to redirect all pages of a particular content type, you can do so.
I just started to use it (instead of Taxonomy Redirect and Path Redirect) to redirect (301 response code) my taxonomy terms for a particular vocabulary to particular nodes.
In your instance, you should be able to use contexts to filter for specific pages.
Of course this doesn't solve the problem of these nodes coming up in search results.
There is also another module Rabbit Hole which has a similar functionality like Internal Nodes but works for all entities, not only nodes.
I am having the same problem, and are currently thinking of the following solution where all the content of a node is to be displayed to certain users (permission based):
- unpublish node
- create a new published checkbox
- create a view with fields that shows alle the content
Haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but it seems to work.
The node is to be displayed to the creator (only one in permission 1), some of it to permission 2 and all of it to permission 3.
Any comments on this solution.
I assume this will also exclude it from search, but permission 2 and 3 needs to be able to search it. Still haven't figured that one out.
I used Rules module with an "entity is of bundle" and the built-in "Page redirect" action.
There is a really easy way to do this if you only want to show a content type through a view.
create a content type as and make it unpublished.
create a view and on the filter option set the filter to "Content: Published (No)"
the view will give anon users access to the content through the view but they won't have access to the unpublished content at the direct link to the content.
I am creating a Multilingual web site and I use a resource manager for each language.
when user select a language all pages use the selected resource bondles.
as entire sites only is available in one language,how search engines crawl the other languages ?
or does search engine crawl optional provided languages ?
As you know, when you have a static multilingual website that has separate page for each language, you don't have any problem with search engines. Whereas, each page has an unique url.
But in dynamic applications, you don't have separate page for each language and have to use resource instead, you can add a new language or remove an already existing language and so on.
Therefore, we have to use Url Rewriter/Routing for generating unique url for each language. Check the following example out.
Suppose we have a webform in the following url and our application supports two languages (e.g. English United States en-US, English Great Britain en-GB).
www.domain.com/home.aspx
There are some problems, we have permanent url for all of languages. Thus, search engines will be index the default language anyway. The solution is simple, you have to generate separate url for each language by using Url Rewriter/Routing as follows.
www.domain.com/{country}/{language}/home.aspx
Afterwards, you have to inference the specified culture name from the above url and set the current Culture and UICulture properties. Thus, the requested page will be shown in desired language.
The sitemap should be generate programmatically and uses the same way as above, in this case.
www.domain.com/{country}/{language}/sitemap.xml
You have to inference the specified culture from the above url and generate sitemap dependent on culture. To introduce available sitemaps to the search engines you have to use robots.txt that should be generate programmatically as well.
you might be using cookies/sessions for remembering selected language, right?
Neither of them affects search engine. They simply ignore cookies. However, If u rely on session variable for remembering selected language, in the absence of cookies each time new session will be created canceling the language selection.
