Set locale from user function

Question

I'm trying to just work with adjusting a web page in Yii between languages.

So far I have this simple function tha can be called from the menu bar:

    public function actionSetLanguage(){

    if(Yii::app()->language == 'en_us'){

            Yii::app()->language == 'en_uk';
    } else {

            Yii::app()->language == 'en_us';
    }

    $this->redirect(array('site/index'));


}

In my index page i'm just printing the value through Yii::app()->language.

In my config I have:

'language'=>'en_us',

My value of Yii::app()->language never changes though. It always prints out 'en_us'.

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I solved this by:

    'behaviors' => array('ApplicationConfigBehavior'),

in my config:

Followed this article:

http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/208/how-to-use-an-application-behavior-to-maintain-runtime-configuration/

Changed it to sessions rather than POST.

Controller updated to

    if(Yii::app()->language == 'en_us'){

        Yii::app()->session->add('lang', 'en_uk');
        Yii::app()->language == Yii::app()->session['lang'];
    } else {

            Yii::app()->session->remove('lang');
            Yii::app()->session->add('lang', 'en_us');
            Yii::app()->language == Yii::app()->session['lang'];
    }

    $this->redirect(array('site/index'));
