Hi there.

We are happily using the excellent DSLocalizator in our portals. However - we need to manually repeat the test server localisation onto our production server. This makes it impossible to have a clean installation procedure.

We create the portal from a template. Content is then stored to the .resources file for all modules that support the IPortable interface. While storing the localisation to xml should be easy, I realize it is nontrivial to recreate the localisation from XML, as the TabIds, ModuleIds etc will be different on the production server.

Are there any plans to implement the IPortable interface on your module?

Sincerely,

Espen H. Albrektsen

Here you are...version 01.00.13 was released today:
NEW FEATURES OVERVIEW
 
1)      DNN 4 Support
 
The new version now supports DNN4. (It is compiled on 3.2.2, so it works on DNN3 and DNN4)
 
2)      Cache Optimization
 
Now you can make use of cache to not access database on each localization. This can save more that 50% time when generating response.
 
As DSLocalizator does not control other core features to include modules or tabs, it tries to detect when a modification is done and reloads cached data, but it will need some stabilization first.
 
I will add some control routing to make this “detection” work better, but for the moment I will need some feedback about this.
 
Note: This feature is not set by default. You must be loged as HOST and then go to host options within DSLocalizator
 
 
3)      Move to admin
 
Now is possible to move DSLocalizator to the ADMIN menu and to remove all other instances with the help of the Install Helper.
 
You can set this module to be and admin module too, so it will not be visible on your modules dropdown list (Optional)
 
Also, the AdminTemplate file can be automatically modified to include DSLocalizator into the Admin menu of each new portal.
 
You must access as HOST, and the got to INSTALL HELPER under your DSLocalizator. There you will find all the options
 
Note: No data is deleted by modifying this, so you can play with it, but use with care because you can delete DSLocalizator instances. If all instances are deleted, then you will have the option to add the module again.
 
 
4)      Import/Export
 
Finally, a requested feature was included. DSLocalizator will export all options (not host options) and localized data.
 
Now you can:
 
·        Export your localized data to backup it.
·        Create localized portal templates (See notes 1 and 2 below)
 
 
Note 1: If DSlocalizator is on your Admin Menu, DNN core will not execute import/export when working with templates for all modules inside ADMIN menu. Then, to make import/export to work you can:
 
o       Have a second instance of DSLocalizator module on any page that is not inside Admin Menu. Then generate the template
o       Don’t use DSLocalizator admin menu (I prefer the other one)
 
Note 2: If you want DSLocalizator included inside the admin menu of the new portal based on your template, you must enable the admin.template modification on your DSLocalizator install helper first.
 
5)      Custom logo per page and per language
 
Now you can customize your logo on each page and base it on language too.
 
 
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
 
If you are making an upgrade from a previous version, please install this version twice to make sure the new IPORTABLE interface is detected
