Hi all,
could someone suggest the best way to add a language selection dropdown or links and storing a cookie for the next visit?
My urls are like: www.domain.com (default language), www.domain.com/es, www.domain.com/fr, etc.

So far, I only have a dropdown with javascript that redirects to www.domain.com/<lang> but this is not ideal. The language selection should change the language and keep the user in the same page.

This must be a very common requirement. Should this be built in kooboo or a module for reuse?

Thanks

This would entirely depend on your approach. In a classic mvc application you could access the pages RouteValues, copy them and add another value such as lang=en and call @Url.Route(routeValues) or similiar.

Alternatively you could get the full page url (think it was Request.Url) and do a hard coded replace via javascript
(ex. var hostName = 'http://www.mysite.com'; window.location.href = window.location.pathname.replace(/hostName/i, hostName + '/en')) but will take some work making it work in all scenarios. Honestly, I'm not sure how to do this with Kooboo ^.^.
