Localize just a contact page with resx files - Language and Internationalization - DotNetNuke

Localize just a contact page with resx files - Language and Internationalization - DotNetNuke

Today I was able to resolve a issue regarding localization that I had to figure out because of client requirements.

The issue was conflict between DotNetNuke Localization and ASP.Net localization. The requirement was for just one page content localization and one page alone for which I didn't wanted to create a entire module in dotnetnuke or mess up the web.config file's localization settings.

After hard battle with countless tries and retries of examples by many dev's, I finally able to crack it.

The solution came to just using the ResolveURL function and placing the localized files in App_LocalResources. It was so simple but it gave me so much headache.

***************************************
 Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit
 
 Dim lang As System.Globalization.CultureInfo
 Dim langSetDefault As Boolean
 
 langSetDefault = False 

 'Add query string logic
 Dim qsLang As String
 qsLang = Request.QueryString("lang")
 If (Len(qsLang) > 0) Then
 If (qsLang = "spanish") Then
 lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES")
 ElseIf (qsLang = "german") Then
 lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
 ElseIf (qsLang = "dutch") Then
 lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-BE")
 Else
 langSetDefault = True
 End If 
 Else
 langSetDefault = True
 End If
 
 If (langSetDefault = True) Then
 lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
 End If
 
 System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = lang
 System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = lang

 End Sub
 Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

 lblAboutYourself.Text = Localization.GetString("lblAboutYourself.Text", ResolveUrl("~/App_LocalResources/ContactForm"))
 lblFirstName.Text = Localization.GetString("lblFirstName.Text", ResolveUrl("~/App_LocalResources/ContactForm"))
 
 End Sub 'Page_Load
With link href "?lang=english" "?lang=spanish"....
***************************************
I feel like I have accomplished something big even though it was so simple. Well when a deadline comes closer and you can't figure out a simple issue, heads starts to head up, literally lolz

Any way
enjoy

Completed UiPath - RPA Developer Advance Training

By Wasay
After a month of training, with late nights and weekends I have completed the UiPath RPA Developer Advance Training. The Level 1 Foundation Training pretty much covered all the basics of Desktop studio and workflows, only draw back was I started with the default foundation course which was for 2016, and all document reference links where pointing to 2016 version. I didn't understand it during the foundation training and kept switching to 2018 version document/page. Only after completing the Foundation course that I realized, I was suppose to have started with the 2018 version of Level 1 Foundation Training, but as it was optional I didn't have to retake the 2018 version, the 2016 was good enough for moving to level 2. The Level 2 Orchestrator 2018.3 Training as good. It gave good understanding of Queue's, Jobs, and schedules and I was able to complete the level two much faster then the level 1. The Level 3 UiPath Advanced Training was bit tough as it involved the a

KB 294807 - IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe

By Wasay
Resolved issue today of IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe by deleting "Windows Temp" folder files. We used Cygwin to customize some permissions of "Windows Temp" folder and after few hours the website stopped working. The search online was giving all kinds of different solution except what I was looking for. I was hoping the stackoverflow will have answers but even this post didn't cover the issue I was running into. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15302080/fastcgi-500-failure Restarting the IIS didn't work, but deleting temp files cleared the issue, but now the problem is how long before the site will go down again? Hope the issue is resolved for ever, if not; I will update this post later.
