I'm just doing this. I added the localte to the models
user,post,forum,activity and clipping. I also added the locale to the
session.
My idea is that a user should see every piece of content in the
language he has chosen.
The problem is getting the locale that lives in the session from the
models when creating them. Also when finding them, because I wanted to
override the find method of those entities to include the locale in
every find invocation, to do that I used this:
def self.find(*args)
with_scope(:find=>{ :conditions=>"posts.language='#
{UserInfo.current_locale}'" }) do
super(*args)
end
end
I know I could just use the controllers to pass the locale, but I
would have to look for every invocation to find, create and others and
pass the locale. I prefer doing this in a more generic way.
The workaround I found is creating a module (UserInfo) that stores the
locale in the current thread:
module UserInfo
def self.current_locale
Thread.current[:locale]
end
def self.current_locale=(locale)
Thread.current[:locale] = locale
end
end
the thing with this is that I need a web server that uses the same
thread to handle all invocations of a user during his session.
I've tried this solution with WEBrick and it works, but in production
I use FASTCGI and I couldn't find any information of how it handles
the session.
Any help will be appreciated.
