MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack

net-carver · 2008-01-15 17:11:41

All

Kjeld has caught another issue with language marker injection. It’s not a common case and has been fixed in the development code. If you have something like this on your pages you might hit the problem too…

<a href="your_site/images/your_image.jpg"><img src="your_site/images/your_image_thumbnail.jpg" /></a>

Here, the thumbnail will show up but the link to the full-sized one will give a 404 error. Links like this occur with popup-in-a-window type situations.

Please post here if you need the patch before the next release.

Feature idea again :) Would it be possible to have a link or switcher to translations of the article in the write/edit-article page? Would make fast edits of certain information quicker. Or otherwise possibility to find articles with search on MLP-list, which about I already wrote earlier, if remembering right. Finding all clones would be quickly then. Now have to know the translated Title first to be able to find it from the renditions-tab.

I mean, if I have several hundreds of clones, and I know the original title, but not translated ones, I have to check them via public site to see the translated titles, and then find it to from renditions to access edit-article.

But I can live without these too ;)

Ultramega

thank you for the ideas :-)

Would it be possible to have a link or switcher to translations of the article in the write/edit-article page?

I have to admit that I’ve always disliked this idea because Txp currently has no native way of catching any un-saved edits if you switched the page. If you are looking for a way to quickly jump to another rendition then I think using the write tab is a dangerous route to go as it means edits might be lost.

However, it might work if the renditions were brought up in other browser tabs.

…Would make fast edits of certain information quicker.

The clone-then-translate-in-situ model adopted by the Pack was chosen to specifically eliminate the need to have side-by-side renditions or do rendition switching. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what you are asking for here — could you elaborate on your idea / situation a little so I can try to understand how your proposal will speed things up?

…if I have several hundreds of clones, and I know the original title, but not translated ones, I have to check them via public site to see the translated titles, and then find it to from renditions to access edit-article.

Ok, so it looks like you are most interested in getting to the point where you can quickly edit any rendition of an article given that you know the title of one rendition, is that correct?

That’s propably what I’m looking for :) I have so many articles in the site I’m currently developing, that it’s hard to find them from the MLP-list, or from the renditions -after they have got translated title. So if I want to edit some page, I have to find it on public side, then switch language to see it’s translated title. Then search from the renditions with that title information. So best would be if we could search with title (in any lang) in MLP-list. It would then show all clones side by side at the same time. Then them could be opened in tabs if is needed to edit all of them.

Good to see you here again! Hope all is well with you. Thank you for confirmation of glz_custom_fields' compatibility with the MLP Pack.

Good to see you tube, all is well.

Now that people are getting more adventurous and using the Pack with more plugins, feel free to post your compatible/incompatible lists here. I can’t promise to fix any individual plugins but I can try to improve the pack’s impact on plugins. Remember that MLP is a mod to Txp and not just a plugin. It makes changes in the DB layer that might interfere with some plugins’ operation.

Detailed report about my experience is going to follow, haven’t finished with some final stuff, that must become before.

I can confirm too that glz_custom_fields seems to work nicely with the MLP Pack. Maybe I should report that I’m getting the following incomplete message in the diagnostics results:

clean_url_data_failed:

And it should be taken into account that:

Clear URLs are actualy working
I’m using the latest v1.1 (not final) of glz_custom_fields (that I received from Gerhard on January 14th upon request)
Other plugins currently installed: rss_admin_show_adv_opts (I’ll be adding more during the next week)
I can’t supply further diagnostics details until next Monday (January 21th) since I’m developing the site locally at work.

Sorry for the delay in updating!

thank you for the confirmation. Could you try the actions described in this post to see if it clears up your clean URL failed message.

Thank you!

Where can I find l10n strings (german) for the admin side of this excellent plugin.

Thanks,
Jonas

Pat64 · 2008-01-23 12:58:05

Hi panik,

Go to ‘content -> MLP -> Snipets -> Search’ : to translate all MLP logical plugin strings into any languages.
Go to ‘content -> MLP -> Gabarits’ : to translate all strings into your pages.
Go to ‘content -> MLP -> Forms’ : to translate all strings into your forms.

Tips : use,

<txp:text item="My_String" />

to add your translations for your labels, title links, etc…

And finaly, use

<txp:zem_contact_text break="" required="0" label="##zcr_label_name##" />

with ZCR (Zem_Contact_Reborn) plugin for your contact form mailer labels.

Cheers,

Thanks for your quick response, Patrick.
But I meant something different. I’m looking for language files for importing, mainly for the l10n plugin itself.

Thanks,
Jonas

I don’t have a German translation myself so you’ll have to wait for someone who’s gone through the translation process to share their work with you.

All

If anyone cares to publish their MLP translations please post them here and I’ll collate them all in the opening post.

Best regards,

I followed your instructions and removed the extra newlines after the closing ?> tag from all the l10n_* files. It worked perfectly. Now the message is gone.

Thanks!

Thank you for posting that update. Now I’ll know how to advise people about that.

jano · 2008-01-23 16:43:43

How can I ouptut the site url without the language code at the first segment of the URL?

I’ll explain it:

Let’s say I’ve a forum script installed into a subfolder like this: http://myhost.dev/forum

If I use <txp:site_url />forum to dinamically generate the url of the forum, it will output http://myhost.dev/(language_code)/forum

Can I accompish that with plain TxP tags or should I extract that information via <txp:php> + $_SERVER ?
