Howdy

I'm working on a multilingual site and have to produce a dropdown of Months as part of a form. This information is stored in a the locale but I'm having trouble retrieving the locale specific to the current siteaccess in an efficient way.

It appears that you can only retrieve the list of all locales using fetch( 'content', 'locale_list' ) and then loop through these until you find the correct one.

{def
$localeName=ezini( 'RegionalSettings', 'Locale')
$locales=fetch( 'content', 'locale_list' )}
{foreach $locales as $l}
  {if eq($l.locale_full_code,$localeName)}
    {def $locale = $l}
    {break}
  {/if}
{/foreach}

{$locale|attribute(show,2)}

Is there a better way to do this (using 3.6)?

Cheers
Bruce

Hello,

Maybe this will help?

{def $ini_file=ezini('RegionalSettings', 'Locale')|append('.ini')
       $months=array( 'jan', 'feb', 'mar', 'apr', 'may', 'jun', 'jul', 'aug', 'sep', 'oct', 'nov', 'dec' )}
{foreach $months as $month}
	{ezini('LongMonthNames', $month, $ini_file, 'share/locale', true)}<br />
{/foreach}

List of months fetched from locale file, will work for all siteaccess.
