How to quickly grab the latest localizations

JasonBarnabe

I have a multilingual forum that currently supports 15 languages and will probably support more in the future. Now that the locales are being regularly updated, I was wondering if there was an easy way for me to download the updates. On the addons site, the file names seem to be versionned, so I don't think I can make a script to wget and unzip them. On Transifex, it looks like they require additional processing before being used, as there are files in the addons download that aren't present in Transifex.

Any ideas on the best way to do this?

The "File" field shows the actual filename of the latest revision:

{
 ...
 "AddonVersionID":3252,
 "File":"~cf\/addons\/8LQ2S09WFWMV.zip",
 "Version":"2014.11.03p1348",
 ...
}

So you can directly download it from

But yes, a little bit of scripting would be required.

@Bleistivt‌ Couldn't you just use the 'Url' field a few lines down?

Yes, we learn

Great, thanks. I'll see if I can write a shell script for this and I'll post it here when it's done.

Updated code to not use fopen:

<?php

// Path to your Vanilla install.
$vanilla_path = '/www/vanilla/';

// Locale codes to download - should match Vanilla's standards, for example "fr" and "pt_BR".
$locale_codes = ['bg', 'de', 'es', 'fr', 'id', 'it', 'ja', 'nl', 'pl', 'pt_BR', 'ru', 'vi', 'zh', 'zh_TW'];

foreach ($locale_codes as $locale_code) {

  $locale_info_url="http://vanillaforums.org/addon.json/vf_".$locale_code."-locale";

  if (!function_exists(curl_init)) {
    echo "Could not call curl_init. Make sure the curl extension is installed - see http://php.net/manual/en/curl.setup.php.\n";
    exit;
  }

  echo "Downloading info for locale '".$locale_code."' from '".$locale_info_url."'.\n";

  $ch = curl_init($locale_info_url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
  $json = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

  $data = json_decode($json, TRUE);

  $locale_url = $data['Url'];
  $zip_path = $vanilla_path.'locales/'.$locale_code.'.zip';
  $dir_path = $vanilla_path.'locales/';

  echo "Downloading '".$locale_url."' to '".$zip_path."'.\n";

  $ch = curl_init($locale_url);
  $fp = fopen($zip_path, "w");
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
  curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

  if (!class_exists(ZipArchive)) {
    echo "Could not make ZipArchive object. Make sure the zip extension is installed - run \"pecl install zip\".\n";
    exit;
  }
  $zip = new ZipArchive();
  $zip->open($zip_path);
  echo "Extracting '".$zip_path."' to '".$dir_path."'.\n";
  $zip->extractTo($dir_path);
  $zip->close();  
  echo "Deleting '".$zip_path."'.\n";
  unlink($zip_path);
}

Linc

Symlink the locales repo on your web server. Then all you need to do is git pull.

That'd work if the repo was up-to-date. I'm pointing my localizers to Vanilla's Transifex to help out, and I'd like to be at most a day or two behind.
