I need to translate Home,Vision,About,Programs,Donation,Contact

Can’t you just use the sections’ titles?

<txp:cbs_navigation_menu sections="default,vision,about,programs,donation,contact" class="nav" titles='##home##,<txp:section name="vision" title="1" />,<txp:section name="about" title="1" />,<txp:section name="programs" title="1" />,<txp:section name="donation" title="1" />,<txp:section name="contact" title="1" />' activenolink="true" activeclass="active" break="li" wraptag="ul" />

If you don’t want to use the titles, you can enter the snippets just like I did with ##home##.

We are trying to get article images and data saved in few custom fields identical in renditions in easy way: if changing one of those fields in default article, translated renditions would follow.

Have you found a way to do this? The only way I can think of right now is store the article image and custom field content in forms, and use output_form in those fields. That way there would be only one place to change the data.

Edit: but that would only work if your number of articles is limited, I don’t think anyone would want to keep track of hundreds of forms…

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I asked this before, but the problem has changed ever so slightly: I have a website which is is translated into three languages. One section—the weblog— will only be available in English, as I’ll translate myself crazy otherwise.

The problem is that with the MLP I would need to clone the articles and not translate them. However, this will then not show a unified comment thread for what is essentially the same article.

Alternatively, I can switch the MLP rewrite for that particular section, however, that only changes the URL rewrite but effectively still operates the site in the chosen language: No articles would be shown in the weblog, which is far from ideal as well.

Is there a way of pulling up a comment thread from another article and post to that one instead or can I somehow tell the mlp to always show the english language articles in one particular section?

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

@maniqui: From the other thread

if lang = en
    ...some comment form tags...
else
    <txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="original_article_id" />'>
    ...some comment form tags...
    </txp:article_custom>

Tried your code above: The result is that nothing within the article_custom tags is listed, as if the id from the custom field didn’t exist.

I think that the problem seems to be that the MLP also tries to translate article_custom fields. I couldn’t find any info on this on the mlp site/thread…

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

@dl33,

before trying with the custom field, have you tried by just hardcoding the id directly in txp:article_custom?
If that works, at least we’re going the right way.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Yes, tried hardcoding it. Textpattern spits out nothing. Also had a look at the debug code… it just seems to ignore the bit between the article_custom tags.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

Where could I see the debug code?
Also, are you using 4.0.7+? (just to know if you can use article_custom as container tags).

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I am using 4.07.

At the moment I have this inside a l10n:if_lang:

<txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="weblog_en_id" />'>
	<txp:if_comments>
		<h3 id="comments"><span>Kommentare</span></h3>
		<txp:comments class="comments" wraptag="ol"/>
	</txp:if_comments>
	<txp:comments_form form="comment_form" msgstyle="textarea" class="comment_form" />
</txp:article_custom>

which produces this: (but nothing visible)

<txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="weblog_en_id" />'>
	[attribute 'id']
	<txp:custom_field name="weblog_en_id" />
	[/attribute]
	[SQL (0.00042200088501): select *, unix_timestamp(Posted) as uPosted, unix_timestamp(Expires) as uExpires, unix_timestamp(LastMod) as uLastMod from squawk_l10n_txp_de_de as l10n_txp_de_de where 1=1 and Status >= 4 and Posted <= now() and (now() <= Expires or Expires = 0) and ID IN (127) order by Posted desc limit 0, 10]
</txp:article_custom>

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

I hope someone with more MySQL knowledge than I will be able to help you… it just looks scary to me ;) But a couple of remarks:

  • did you just move your files to the new server, or did you do a fresh (Txp/MLP) install? Either way, have you tried if using the other method made a difference?
  • MySQL 5.1.16- beta, is that wise?

Tables where imported from working development server. Tables in mysql are 100% dublicates of tables in development server (of course, site’s paths and url where edited)…

MySQL 5.1.16- beta, is that wise?

This is Life :) we get what we are given :) I can only switch back to php4 and get same errors..

p.s. BTW – is MLP 0.9.9 there php4 capable?
