| Post subject: | Annoucing the release of the Joom!Fish 1.7 Beta |
The Joom!Fish project is the official add-on for managing multilingual content within the content management system Joomla!. The project, which was formally known as MambelFish is rewritten and enhanced in order to be compatible with the new versions of the Joomla! project. The rebranding of the project goes along with a new logo created by Tommy White (http://www.tommywhite.com) who was one of the logo designers during the logo competition of the Joomla! project as well. Together with the new project developers Geraint Edwards (http://www.ysguboruchaf.co.uk), who created the first how to for using MambelFish within Joomla!, and Ivo Apostolov (http://ivo.unwe.net), who is member of the Bulgarian Translation team, we fixed most of the known issues the last version had. The new look and feel as well as the optimized handling hopefully helps to make translation work even more easy. You can download the Joom!Fish 1.7 Beta at: http://forge.joomla.org/sf/go/projects. ... m_fish_1_7 What's new? * With an all in one installer all related components, mambots and modules are installed. You just need to install the component and you are fine! * Joom!Fish has now a central control panel which allows to access all important features * The translation overview includes filters, which are defined within the Content Elements. Those filters allow you to find your entries much faster. * The frontend is now an independent and complete module. Within the module parameters you control the look & feel of the language selector. Features like hiding the active language are implemented. The language selector is quite close to be conform to the accessibility standards and comes along with a special css (which can be disabled) which is usable within the template.css. * It is now possible to automatically publish content within the frontend. If this option is activated a user which has publish rights will automatically publish the translation while saving the content. * The assumption of primary keys are removed. The content element can now configure the primary key of a table properly and with that enables the translator to work with components like VirtuMart or Zoom, which are using a different primary key than id. * Added support for translation sql queries involving more than one table at once * Take account of tablename and field name aliases in translation * Translate lists all in one go (performance improvement) * Added a system bot for activation of the multilingual database layer as well as the language determination. With that the Joom!Fish can be used without any patching of core files * Reworked the state check of a translation. This new concept based on md5 comparison of the original values increases the performance and making the state information more reliable. Till the final release we want to achieve the following, in the Beta missing features: * Status check for Joom!Fish bot's and modules * Integrated data migration from MambelFish to Joom!Fish - converting your MambelFish translations to the new format * Translation consistency check to remove unneeded translations from your database We would like to thank all of the Joomla! and Mambo community members which didn't stopped to give us such an positive feedback and new suggestions for this project. We are looking forward reading your feedback on this improved version of the Fish at: http://forge.joomla.org/sf/tracker/do/l ... sh/tracker If there are no hard show stopping bugs show up it is the plan to release the release candidate (RC) of the Fish end of next week and the final version a week later. Kind regards Alex |

If you want to experiment with translating VirtueMart the required contentelement files are attached (just unzip them into administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelement/) and start translating. Geraint |

Thanks for the new Fish. The installation works very good. I made the installation on a fresh joomla 1.07 and I have found 2 features. First : If I write in a textarea or titletext field a word like it's it becomes it\'s in the frontend. Second : If I enable in Global Configuration : Debug Site then I could not see the sql querys only 0 queries executed will be shown John |

I can't recreate your problem with the apostrophe. What:
Joomfish was designed for 1.0.8 onwards (not sure if that's relevant though) |

First, lots thanks Joom!Fish team... ![]() Next, would be help each other move on from beta to stable. ![]() Translation I have downloaded 1.7beta earlier today and will install it soon for testing. Prior to doing that, I decided to work with the translation. I have translated MambelFish into Filipino about two weeks ago, and is currently doing that for Joom!Fish as well. I found a single item with discrepancy between 1.5 and 1.7 and thought either it might have been changed for 1.7 (no note on that), or it was overlooked: define('_JOOMFISH_ITEM_INFO', 'Publishing'); define('_MAMBELFISH_ITEM_INFO', 'Item information'); Is 'Publishing' the correct string for 1.7 as above? Thanks again! Note: I'm not sure where to post bugs at the moment, will appreciate if somebody can point the location. ![]() Regards, Julian |

I just found out this new Joomfish and installed it immediately on a test environment. It installs greatly and everything is publushed, mamabots, etc The control panel in the backend is greatly improvement. I just have to play somewhat more. Only a few suggestions. In the translation list of modules it shows also the admin modules, which is confusing. A small test on field access=23 would filter those. Also in the menulist an indication to what menu a menuitem belongs would be nice. Now it is sometimes trial and error. I had that MBF too. As said this product looks good! Thank you guys, this is a great improvement and adds very good value to J! |

Hi this is related to the uncomplete spanish language file within the Beta. Are you able to translate it to spanish? If so please copy the missing defines from the english one and translate them.

The fish does not translate the strings within your SEF, but he is able to add the language parameter to the URL. If SEF is activated it should be added automatically to each URL. Alex |

Hi to everybody, thx for the big welcome of the new Fish. Just a note - you can help us a lot if you report your findings within our tracker at: http://forge.joomla.org/sf/tracker/do/l ... acker.bugs Please tell me if it's not working for you - then I might need to figure out what's wrong with the permissions. Normally every registered forge user should be allowed to add an artifact. I copyed most of the reports here on the forum into this tracker already, so no need to do this again. Many thx and enjoy your weekend Alex |

@rued - You rock man @mvalent - Because the component is searhing for the DEFAULT language set in your Global Configuration. A lot of componenets already do so and if you don't want to use it in French, rename the file "components/com_joomfish/language/french.php" to something else or just delete it. |

If yes - then work is in progress, but that's more a problem of the SEF as they would need to be able mapping the translated text to the originals. Alex |
