Hi,

my site etnaworldtrade.domenicogarozzo.it have 3 languages.

The default siteaccess language is italian, then there are other two languages, english etnaworldtrade.domenicogarozzo.it/en and russian etnaworldtrade.domenicogarozzo.it/ru.

The language for each siteaccess (en and ru) is setted.

The only problem is that i want associate the "italian" design folder (same template, same override) to others. This is possible?

Thank you,
Domenico

Yes you can :)

The design config is in settings/siteaccess/yoursiteaccess/site.ini.append.php :

 [DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=youritaliandesign
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=base

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-GB
TextTranslation=enabled

Are you sure "plain_site" is your design ?

This is the configuration on my site.ini in the italian siteaccess:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=false
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=it
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=backend
ShowHiddenNodes=false

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=plain_site
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=base

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=ita-IT
ContentObjectLocale=ita-IT
SiteLanguageList[]=ita-IT
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-US
SiteLanguageList[]=rus-RU
TextTranslation=enabled

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/plain_site

Make sure you also have the following in settings/override/site.ini.append.php (the global override file) 

[SiteAccessSettings]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=it
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=rus
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=backend

Also doublecheck your settings/siteaccess folder names, because you seem to be using inconsistent naming (three letters for Russian, two letters for English and Italian).

If the siteaccesses named in the ini files don't match the folder names, they won't be applied. The standard siteaccess folders created when you add a language in eZ use three letters, such as "ita", "eng", and "rus".

Hi Daniel,
this is my settings/override/site.ini.append.php :

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=it
SiteList[]
SiteList[]=it
SiteList[]=en
SiteList[]=ru

[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=it
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=ru
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=backend
MatchOrder=uri
HostMatchMapItems[]
ForceVirtualHost=true

[DesignSettings]
DesignLocationCache=enabled

I use for all languages two letter (it|en|ru) and i have create this folder on my settings/siteaccess/ + (it|en|ru).

The language is configured because if you go on etnaworldtrade.domenicogarozzo.it/en or etnaworldtrade.domenicogarozzo.it/ru the default template have the correct language.

The problem is that don't load override.ini file and so don't load .tpl file.

It looks correctly set up, but it's kind of hard to debug fragments of configuration files.

This may be a silly question, but have you cleared the INI caches completely? One way to be sure no cache issues is causing problems is to run php bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --purge from the root eZ Publish directory.

What about the design.ini.append.php? Did you put that file in your siteaccesses?

It's a cache problem.

I have deleted all cache and the layout goes right!

Now the problem is that when i clear the cache by backend command (empty all cache button), the cache for en and ru siteaccess are not clear.

Why?

I think it's because your RelatedSiteAccessList settings might be off.

Check this page:

http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Configuration-files/site.ini/SiteAccessSettings/RelatedSiteAccessList

That means, for your Italian site.ini.append.php, you should have:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=en
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=ru
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=backend

For your English one:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=it
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=ru
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=backend

For your Russian one:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=it
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=en
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=backend

For your backend one:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=it
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=en
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=ru

This setting controls, among other things, what other siteaccesses' view caches should be cleared when a particular siteaccess' cache is cleared.

If the above doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll have to take a look at other cache and cache-block settings.

Hi Daniel,

the it, en, ru configuration are ok.

I have added the RelatedSiteAccessList to the backend site.ini

Thank you.

Sorry but isn't change nothing. I empty cache but only in it siteaccess take effect.

Oh, ok. If they're all using the same database, use the same VarDir in ALL siteaccesses.

Looks like you only need to update the ones for English and Russian:

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/plain_site

Then just remove the var/en and var/ru directories (you can safely do this if you haven't uploaded any original files or images to these siteaccesses).

After this, you can also remove all the RelatedSiteAccessList[] settings discussed above. They're only needed if you use different databases for different siteaccesses.
