site_url fail to work with language

onegun

i want to have the url such as http://localhost/cms/en/home

where http://localhost/cms is the path to my cms folder. en is the language i want to set. as i need to append site_url() in front all the links. I did by doing <?php echo site_url()en/home; ?>

which i think is not right, so i decide to use the build in language functions. i set the the language mode in my_fuel.php to $config['language_mode'] = 'segment'; and i changed config.php to $config['language'] = 'en';

however when i do <?php echo site_url()/home; ?> the en is not reflected in the url

according to http://docs.getfuelcms.com/helpers/my_url_helper , (boolean) $language sets the language parameter on the URL based on the "language_mode" setting in the FUEL configuration

Try adding the following to your MY_fuel.php file:

// append the current language value to the site URL automatically
$config['add_language_to_site_url'] = TRUE;

any chance to use "en" instead of "english"?

admin

What language is used for the default URL (without the language segment)? We'll usually have the default language (english), use that URL instead of a language segment.

onegun

yes,what i want is actually "en" append to the url instead of "english"

admin

In MY_fuel.php can you change the languages parameter to use "en" => "en" instead of "english" => "en"?

onegun

yes, but i noticed that if i am doing that is like creating a new language with setting of extra files. What is the reason of use "english" instead of "en" in the first place in fuel cms?

admin

It is something we debated with for a while and may be subject to change in the future but it was to match the default language folder and language setting in the main fuel/application/config/config.php file which is "english".
