magento set store id programmatically
I am currently working on a magento site that is in 2 languages (French and Dutch). The approach I am taking is as follows:
- Create a folder in the web root (named nl)
- Import the index.php and .htaccess file to that folder
In the index.php I modify the following line:
Mage::run('nl'); // to specify the store view i want to load
When I check, the categories, CMS content etc are still in the default language. The following code:
Mage::app()->getStore()->getName();
returns the fr store's name.
What is it that I'm doing wrong? I think a viable solution would be to set the store to run in index.php...
Could someone please let me know how to load a store by ID?

After hours of huffing and puffing i was able to figure out a way to set the store id programatically :)
In the index.php file, (in your language specific folder), add the following:-
$store_id = 'your_store_id_here';
$mageRunCode = 'store view code';
$mageRunType = 'store';
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($store_id);
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
Hope someone will find this information useful :)
