I'm new in phpBB3 (migrate from old punBB last week) and I found strange thing in phpBB3 premod package.

Default language for my forum is Czech, all users use this. But I was trying to offer more languges (English, Slovak) and it works, all texts are fine except images/buttons. All of them are in Czech no matter which language I set in User Control Panel.

So I tracked source code and find following thing. In style.php file there is a section from line 92 to line 99 which start deciding language to modify CSS for using correct imageset

Code: Select all

  if (!$user)
   {
      $id         = ($id) ? $id : $config['default_style'];
//      Commented out because calls do not always include the SID anymore
//      $recompile   = false;
      $user      = array('user_id' => ANONYMOUS);
   }

But if I print_r() content of $user it is empty before this check.

And lines 115 to 118 conatins this:

Code: Select all

   if ($user['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
   {
    $user['user_lang'] = $config['default_lang'];
   }

So for the CSS purposes ANONYMOUS user is used and that's why all button are in default forum language. Can sombody confirm this? And how to fix it?

Note: Style changing is correct. Only deciding of imageset directory is wrong.

This is rather a purely phpBB matter. When you test, do you use your SID in the style url ? because otherwise, the session is not passed and it's normal to see $user empty.
