   Hi Amit,
   First of all Congrats for launch of phpCamp.net . I am having one question regarding the Hindi plugin for Joomla.

   As you plugin is working for content of the site. But I need the Site contents like menu and other ini variables in hindi to start the work.

   Like USERNAME, PASSWORD and other words on the site.

   Is there any place from where I can get these translation to begin my work.

   Thanks in Advance.
   Have a Great Day.

    Thank you for creating such a useful program and step by step instructions. I have installed it and button can be seen on toolbar and I can write in Hindi as well but after I reopen the same article, I find all hindi font converted into question marks. I have checked the unicode utf-8 and also enabled my mozilla 3.0.6 for Hindi viewing but still I do not get it.

    Would you be able to help?

    @Hariprakash download the hindi font and u ur problem get solved
13. February 13, 2009 3:23 pm Hariprakash Agrawal says
    

    Thanks for your response Diptimoy,

    I have installed Joomla for website development and installed akIndicPlugin to type/see content in HIndi. Now, when I am saving the hindi content, it gets converted in ‘?????’. My problem is even if I install hindi fonts and might be, I can see hindi font but how will others see content who does not know about installing hindi font, like, how come I can see hindi font in drishtipat.com. I can see hindi font on drishtupat.com so i am asuming that either hindi fonts are available in my laptop or I am missing something and not able to see hindi font using akIndicPlugin.

    Thanks Amit for help,

    Its working now.. I had few emails with Amit and got to the root cause and its resolved. I am writing below steps if anyone else also have similar problem.

    1. The problem: I installed Joomla for website development and installed akIndicPlugin to type/see content in Hindi. Although Hindi characters were appearing while typing but was getting converted to ‘????’ after saving.

    2. Root cause: The data was not getting stored properly in the content tables in database at the time of save.

    3. Steps to resolve:
    a. Access database collation using using phpMyAdmin
    b. Select ‘Character Sets and Collations’
    c. Select ‘Databses’
    d. Click on your database where all the website information is getting stored
    e. Under ‘Structure’ tab, ‘jos_content’ table will appear. Open the table by clicking on button ‘structure’.
    f. Change all parameters to utf8_general_ci. All these collations were earlier had latin1_swedish_ci.

    Hope, above steps will help.

    Hi,
    Thanx for helping out with Indic language.
    I am using Joomla 1.5 and followed your instructions [uploaded the .zip to said folder in C-Panel, extracted the files to akIndicFolder, edited tinyMCE.php file]. However I am not able to see the button in the editor in ‘Add Article’ Section.
    Can you tell me where to insert the “$plugins[] = ‘akindicplugin’; $buttons3[] = ‘akindicplugin’;” lines? I mean before/after what lines of code?
19. February 16, 2009 9:50 pm Amit Kumar Singh says
    

    @ganesh,

    In Joomla 1.0.x find $buttons2 = implode( ‘, ‘, $buttons2 ); or goto line number 250.

    In case of Joomla 1.5.x find $buttons2[] = ‘forecolor’; or goto line number 190.

    Modify the ‘tinymce.php‘ file

    * Open tinymce.php file in “editors\tinymce” in Notepad++ or your favorite editor.
    * In Joomla 1.0.x find $buttons2 = implode( ‘, ‘, $buttons2 ); or goto line number 250. In case of Joomla 1.5.x find $buttons2[] = ‘forecolor’; or goto line number 190.
    * Add following lines at specified line numbers

    $plugins[] = ‘akindicplugin’;
    $buttons3[] = ‘akindicplugin’;

    NOTE: Do I insert this code after the line which says $buttons2 = implode(…. or before it in Joomla 1.0.x
    NOTE: Do I insert this code after the line $buttons2[] = ‘forecolor’; or before it in Joomla 1.5.x

    If you want I can send you both the tinymce.php files found in joomla 1.0 and joomla 1.5

    thanks in advance
24. May 29, 2009 8:55 pm Prabhakar says
    

    It’s not working for me.
    I am getting blank screen.
    I am using joomla 1.5.10
    Here is the code I inserted after extracting akIndic plugin to plugins\editors\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins.

    // text color
    $buttons2[] = ‘forecolor’;
    $plugins[] = ‘indiaplugin’;
    $buttons3[] = ‘indiaplugin;
    if ($language->isRTL()) {
    $text_direction = ‘rtl’;
    } else {
    $text_direction = ‘ltr’;
    }
    ….. and so on.

    When I go to “add article”, I get blank screen.
25. May 31, 2009 10:50 am Prabhakar says
    

    It works with only tinymce 2.x
    First replace /plugins / editors /tinymce with version 2.1.3 You can download it from here.
    http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tinymce/tinymce_2_1_3_dev.tgz

    Then the above documentation will work fine.

    Hi Amit,

    Thanks for the akIndicPlugin. It is working perfecting fine for me. Currently, I am using Joomla 1.5.

    I have one question for you that
    1. Using akIndicPlugin, we can type/insert Indian language text through Joomla. But I wanted to get Feedback from the User in Marathi. And for that I wanted to provide Indian language typing functionality on Site for the user.
    How do I solve this issues using Joomla?

    Thanks,
    Shree

    Hi,
    Thanks for your efforts. I tried your steps above and it works ! though I am new to Joomla. This is really exciting. I have a few followup questions tough. I see the ‘Sa’ button in the TinyMCE and am able to type in Hindi, and Punjabi, but Malayam and Kannada do not enter. Am I missing the language file ? I did not enter anything for Hindi or Punjabi either.

    Also, I do not see Tamil and other major Indian languages. How can I include Tamil and other languages. Please let me know. Much appreciated and look forward to hear from you.

    Ok.. I see many comments asking for help on installing this plugin on some of the Joomla versions. No one replied but some replied saying that they are able to make it working. The question is why can’t they say, how it was done and help others to achieve the same. Do you want to know whether you are successful or not. Of course, yes, but we also want to know how you did it, so that it is useful for others.

About Me

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
		Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
		by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
		into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening
		thought and action--"
		~ Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore Gitanjali, Verse 35. 
		

Myself Amit Kumar Singh, currently working for AmiWorks. I was Technical Architect at Pune IT Labs. You can connect with me via Google+, facebook or twitter. But the best way to connect with me is by leaving a comment here.

My interest lies in building web application, and i am trying to build some. This place is to share what i learn, and build during my work.

This blog design is still work under progress, and i am trying to get the layout right. Once i am staisfied with my layout, i will think about colors, till then it is going to be cool blue.
