This section allows the administrator to manage the regional packages (packs for short) of the In-portal platform. For more information about the packs, please read the section 4.2.6 of this manual.
- "Import a regional pack" button (globe icon with a yellow arrow pointing down) allows the administrator to install a new pack, or update an existing one. Each pack can be downloaded and stored as a file. The format of the file is XML, and the name of the language pertaining to the pack is built into the file. Therefore, it is not necessary to select a pack when performing an import – its name will be automatically determined from the pack file. When importing a pack file, the administrator will need to upload it from the local computer by using the Browse button. Then the administrator should choose what types of phrases should be imported – ‘Front-end', ‘Administrator', or ‘Both'. In this case, ‘Both' does not mean ‘Front-end' and ‘Administrator', but it means the phrases of the type ‘Both' (which are used on the front-end and in the administrative console). The option ‘Overwrite Existing Phrases' will cause a replacement of all current phrases which are also found in the pack file being imported. It will not delete the language phrases, which are not found in the file. It is recommended to uncheck this option, to preserve any customized language values you may have. At the end of the import, a page with the result will be displayed. If a language import fails, this is usually due to the fact that there are not sufficient directory privileges on the ‘in-portal' directory, and the platform cannot upload the file for temporary use.
- "Export" button (globe icon with a green arrow pointing out) allows the administrator to export a pack into a file. The file is first saved on the web server, and then it can be downloaded onto the workstation. The first field to enter is the file name. The full path is shown to the left of the file name input field. Please ensure that this directory is writable to the web server, otherwise the export will fail. Once the export is done, it will provide you with a link to download the file, or an error message, if the export failed.
- Primary Region Package
Every In-portal system has to have at least one regional package, and at least one pack must be designated as the primary one. The primary pack will be used for all visitors by default, until they choose a different language (if that option is offered by the system administrator). The primary pack setting is also used for the Administrative Console, but can be changed by the administrative users for each session.
