Some questions about for a quite big project in ZF

[jap]

Hi,

I've just worked out a new project (in theory) but I've still got a lot of questions, and I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me out.

First of all, I want the site to be multi-language. Should I work with XML files or something like the .ini config files? and how should I manage these files so they are always accessible. Maybe I should make one general language file for each language and then a new file for every controller?

Second, I want to display a lot of content in one module... it actually has to work as a showroom to display parties ordered by day. Then I want to apply filters on the displayed content. And by using the agenda tab I want it to be able to select a different date. By doing that, the day before and after that date will also be displayed.
Where do I get this content? I suppose by using Ajax but does anyone know a good Ajax tutorial to use it with ZF? Or maybe I can just make a function that returns a javascript array depending on the input, but how do I request that from my actual javascript?

This is the url to my development zone, it's temporary public. Located HERE
Upcoming parties is the module that needs to be updated. (I know IE6 still shows some bugs but I will fix that soon )

I hope you guys can help me out here, 'cause I don't have much experience with Javascript and Ajax. (I want to learn it through this project )

Many thanks,
Jasper

Edit: this thread will probably need to be moved to an other section, sorry.

Already found this tutorial: Adam » Multiple language support
(really good tutorial for multilanguage site)

you don't need AJAX for any of those things. Ajax is usually not necessary, it is just something fancy you can implement. A way to use AJAX is through the Scriptaculous libraries.
