Set default language by default for users who did not do it yet

[Cybershaolin]

As mentionned in post #16 here: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...-french-2.html

Maybe, another option to make sure users have set a default language, could there be an option that would detect if a user has done it when he logs in on the forum? If default language is detected having been set, user would continue the log in process as usual but if it's detecting it as he did not, there would be a message requesting the user to go in their profile (bringing him there automatically) and asking him to select one default language before he can go anywhere else on the forum.

This would make sure all messages would be translated (including BBCodes) on the forum because all users would have selected their default language.

This would really be a great addon.

Great idea Accepted.

Great, I'm happy that you like my suggestion. In fact, with this implemented, this will avoid you answering many questions about "why nothing is translated" or "it does not work" a little bit like some of my own questions in the past.

Is this gonna be implemented in the next version? 3.1.3? I see you are already running 3.1.3 here but it's not proposed in the download area yet.

DONE - after login user without default language set is redirected to edit profile page, where he see appropriate message enhancing him to set it. It is configurable (enabled/disabled). Will be included in vBET 3.1.3

Wow, can't wait to get 3.1.3! lol Thanks a lot!

[vBET]

We are planning to put into 3.1.3 feature of automatic language recognition. After that we will be ready to release. Of course plans can be changed if some another brilliant idea come from our customers. We prefer flexibility as key to really good product

OK the implementation of this was done but: Registration for new users are OK but when a user is a forum member since a long time, there is a problem with it:

It works well in a way that when logging in, a user who did not set his default language yet is automatically redirected in the settings where he can set its language. The problem is even if he does not change anything (meaning not changing its language) the information is saved like this and the user will still not have its language set! So, there should be a message telling the user that he must set his language after he saves the information, if he did not set it. So, what I mean is that it should force the user to set the language. Got my point?

[vBET]

Right now it redirects only just after login. So is someone skip setting value he will be redirected again after next login.

You want to redirect user over and over again until he set the language. So until he made it whole forum is blocked for him. Did I got your point?

[Cybershaolin]

Yes, but instead of just the redirection, I wish that an error message (popup or whatever way) could be added if the user does not set his language if he tried to get away from that page. So, for sure he would clearly see that he must set this on in order to continue.

The message is added right now under the form in red letters - check it. "Brutal forcing" to set language will be added.
