Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

thanks for posting. Actually, there is no problem with that message — it’s normal for the MLP Pack.

Installing the Pack will cause you to overwrite the default txplib_db.php file with the modified one from the Pack’s zip file. That causes the txp diagnostic page to say the file has changed — because it has — it also explains the differences in the version strings at the start of the files.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I found a small bug.
When I change the name of a category I have to resave all articles with this category so that the changes occur in category listings on the frontend.

thank you! Are you sure this isn’t a browser caching issue?

The page ist in testing environment an I cleared the browser cache between site refreshs, so it shouldn’t be a cachin problem.

I changed the category name from old to new. Visiting an category page with ?c=old then shows all articles but without any category information like <txp:category1 />. Visiting a page with ?c=new doesn’t show any articles but category information.

I tried it on a page without MLP and didn’t have any problems.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Since MLP isn’t reliable in a subdirectory (a folder below the web root?), what would be an easy way to create a test installation? Would it work in the root of a subdomain? (Of course, for many of us, that’s may really be a subdirectory.)

yes, root of a subdomain is fine.

I’ll have to modify the next release of MLP so you can tell the MLP Pack not to mess with certain user defined directories on your installation.

Steve, thanks for taking it into consideration.

That solution would be a lot more simple than writing some mod_rewrite rules.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Hi, I’d like to add a small usefull feature request:

  • Display of article ID numbers inside the MLP article table
  • The possibility to clone hidden articles as well
  • Some sort of plugin tag, that allows, to call an article or article_custom by ID, and that will then display the according rendition, according to browsed language.

yes , I think that would be useful

regards, marios

I was about to ask for something similar. For example, some way to create a link to a rendition by the ID of the row.

Currently, I have something like this (a simple use of conditionals to output a link to the corresponding rendition):

<txp:l10n_if_lang lang="en" wraptag=""><a href="/en/about/terms-and-conditions">##terms_conditions##</a></txp:l10n_if_lang>
<txp:l10n_if_lang lang="es" wraptag=""><a href="/es/about/terminos-y-condiciones">##terms_conditions##</a></txp:l10n_if_lang>

Maybe this could be done with a new tag, like <txp:l10n_permalink rowid="14">##term_conditions##</txp:l10n_permalink>.

Thanks.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Oups, I found something that is really tricky, Steve.

Now this has to do with the comments_preview tag. AFAIK the MLP doesn’t seem to care about the default lang URL of http://here.com/en/permlink, so what happens is that the comments_preview tag posts to something like http://here.com/permlink#cpreview.

I am using some .htaccess rules to avoid the http://here.com/permlink location and redirect it to http://here.com/en/permlink. this will lead to a failure of the comments preview and posting.

Here is what it generates:

<form id="txpCommentInputForm" method="post" action="/articles/sun-moon-and-united-earth#cpreview">

Can be viewed here

How to go about that ?
