Regarding how the official plugins load language files

[amarillonmc]

In all of the officially provided plugins loader.php, there are this snippet that decides which language to load:
(Example Taken from Change Class Plugin)

// language phrases
if(file_exists(__PATH_CHANGECLASS_ROOT__ . 'languages/'.config('language_default', true).'/language.php')) {
	// attempt to load same language as website
	if(!@include_once(__PATH_CHANGECLASS_ROOT__ . 'languages/'.config('language_default', true).'/language.php')) throw new Exception('Error loading language file (changeclass).');
} else {
	// load default language file (en)
	if(!@include_once(__PATH_CHANGECLASS_ROOT__ . 'languages/en/language.php')) throw new Exception('Error loading language file (changeclass).');

 }

However, it only checks for the language_default value in the configs, and not $_SESSION['language_display'], which means even if a translation is provided by populating the language.php file, and the user switched to said language, the plugin language will still be in the language_default value, defeating the purpose of multi-language.

Please advise, thanks.

I don't think they will maintain this repo anymore. For a quick fix, we can do it ourselves.

// Determine the language to use
$language = isset($_SESSION['language_display']) ? $_SESSION['language_display'] : config('language_default', true);

// language phrases
if (file_exists(__PATH_VIP_ROOT__ . 'languages/' . $language . '/language.php')) {
    // attempt to load the language file
    if (!@include_once(__PATH_VIP_ROOT__ . 'languages/' . $language . '/language.php')) {
        throw new Exception('Error loading language file (vip).');
    }
} else {
    // load default language file (en)
    if (!@include_once(__PATH_VIP_ROOT__ . 'languages/en/language.php')) {
        throw new Exception('Error loading language file (vip).');
    }
}

How can you install a plugin? For example I'm trying to install the VIP plugin. I added the __uploads files to root. Then tried loading the plug.xml file from admincp but getting Plugin file(s) missing error.

1. You shall add the contents of __upload folder to root, not uploading the folder itself to root.
2. You may have a version of WebEngine that has a check on "legit" plugins, the check needs to be disabled (by commenting out a certain part of a certain file, I can't remember - but you can find the "patched" file everywhere on MU related forums now)

I'll close this one since the initial problem is solved.
