The senerio for use would be a anonymous spanish visitors sets spanish as his language and whenver he comes back to the site then the language would default to spanish.

Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 23 November 2004 7:21:32 am Hi, You can use JavaScript with cookies Cookie: Name1=value1; Name2=value2; Check the cookie and redirct user to right language function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days2460601000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else var expires = ""; document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; } function readCookie(name) { var nameEQ = name + "="; var ca = document.cookie.split(';'); for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) { var c = ca[i]; while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length); if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length); } return null; } function eraseCookie(name) { createCookie(name,"",-1); } I found this in network ...

Tony Wood	Tuesday 23 November 2004 7:34:21 am Thanks Luke. Wouldn't it be nice to have this in eZ by default? then we would not have to do a js check on very page load...

Kåre Køhler Høvik	Tuesday 23 November 2004 8:22:01 am From the documentation of the functionality : <i>If the user is not logged in the preferences is stored in sesssion.</i> So it should work for anonymous users. Kåre Høvik
Tony Wood	Tuesday 23 November 2004 8:35:45 am That is a really good point :) Thanks Can you give me a hint as to the code location and what sort of code would you use to inact the language change.
