Falang , JoomFish like for Joomla 1.7+

[Horoman]

Hi community

As I am using falang 1.1.3 things seem to be different...
I can edit the menu alias. But it is not used from sef.

Hi,

Actually the translation of the url is not implemented. You can set manually the path (you have to modify the menu.xml)
I was working with the sef tools (joomsef , sh404 and acesef)
Joomsef (4.2.6) is compatible and the next version of sh404 will be probably compatible too.

I will work on solution for native sef (very usefull for migratoin from a previous joomla 1.5 with joomfish)

Hi,

Now I got it to work!
Thanks to Stéphane and DarkBlaze!

It took me some time to find out what is meant with

You can set manually the path (you have to modify the menu.xml)

So I went to the file menu.xml in \administrator\components\com_falang\contentelements
There I changed

Code: Select all

<field type="readonlytext" name="path" translate="0" posthandler="saveMenuPath">Menu Path</field>

to

Code: Select all

<field type="text" name="path" translate="1" posthandler="saveMenuPath">Menu Path</field>

If I open Falang in the backend now, I can manually enter the sef path, the entry had in joomfish.

Thanks again for the support!
Horoman


[edit] The URL now is fine but the language switcher doesn't work any more. Maybe I am able to fix that... I'll see. [/edit]

Sorry, just saw I should not post questions on Falang here any more.

Hi,

is there a way how to establish translation for alias? I'm using AceSEF, but I learned that Falang isn't compatible with this extension, so I'm thinking about changing to the JoomSEF.
But the menu aliasis is not translated (with AceSEF) or the JoomSEF is making alias I don't like (cathegory/uncathegorized).

Is there a simply and elegant way how to combine AceSEF with Falang? I understand that Falanag need native language filter, but all SEO extensions don't like these (both AceSEF and JoomSEF).

Thanks

Anyone know which database tables storing/related to JoomFish data ?


for example like table: jos_vm_product
storing Virtuemart product data like description, product_full_image, product_name etc....

JoomFish able to input different languages, and where the data stored (in which tables) actually?

Folks, this forum is 2.5 languages related.
For the use of any 3pd extension like falang or joomfish, please use the developer site.

Hi!
I've installed FaLang in Joomla 1.7 and when I enable plugin I get error message on my frontpage: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND falang_content.published=1 AND falang_content.reference_id IN(14) AND ' at line 4 SQL=SELECT falang_content.reference_field, falang_content.value, falang_content.reference_id, falang_content.original_value FROM ih36t_falang_content AS falang_content WHERE falang_content.language_id= AND falang_content.published=1 AND falang_content.reference_id IN(14) AND falang_content.reference_table='content'

Can you please help me with this problem?

Welcome to Joomla forum!

I've installed FaLang in Joomla 1.7

Joomla 1.7.x is outdated and no longer supported.
Joomla 1.6 + 1.7 were short term support versions and have been followed up by the long term support version Joomla 2.5.

Please upgrade to the latest Joomla version in the 2.5 series (which is Joomla 2.5.7: http://www.joomla.org/download.html ).
Possible bugs might have been solved in the meantime,
and it's a waste of time trying to solve issues that are caused because of non-updated software...

[behemoth]

I know that Joomla 1.7 is an outdated software. I just thought, that I will be having problems with my template in Joomla 2.5, but luckilly no problem occured .
With kind regards,

I am using last package of Arabic language and tag of language ar-AA at joomla 2.5,And flag of Arabic language also exist at falang files but it is not shown at switcher at browsers of chrome and safari however it is working well with Mozilla.

Moreover English language switcher working very well with every browser. I had copied their path down.


English path is: <img src="/media/mod_falang/images/en.gif" alt="English (UK)" title="English (UK)">

Arabic path is: <img src="/" alt="Arabic" title="Arabic">

So, what is problem?

[KCA]

Your Arabic image path is empty...you have no gif referenced as you do for your English path.

3 sh404sef multilingual mode is enabled
4 copied k2 .xml files to components/com_falang/contentelements/ and rename joomfish tittle to falang as described above.

Hello Stephane.

Any news on when the translation of the URL will be implemented? If not soon i´m afraid i will have to switch to Joomfish.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I've done that but for some odd reason I still get original languages URL's displayed even though I've done the language switch and have menu alias translated.

Am I missing something? Probably need to switch something somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Never mind, got it working!

Had to add translation to Menu Path under field section hehe.

Hello,

I've installed Joomla 2.5.11 and Falang (free) 1.3.0
I've enabled the following extensions:

FaLang
FaLang Language Switcher
FaLang Package
System - FaLang Database Driver

And I also enable the module "FaLang Language Switcher".
On "language manager" I've installed 4 different languages, and I've created 4 content languages.

After all this, when I try to run my site I've got this mysql error:

Code: Select all

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND falang_content.published=1 AND falang_content.reference_id IN(240,207,209' at line 4 SQL=SELECT falang_content.reference_field, falang_content.value, falang_content.reference_id, falang_content.original_value FROM egxsc_falang_content AS falang_content WHERE falang_content.language_id= AND falang_content.published=1 AND falang_content.reference_id IN(240,207,209,182,52,217,218,219,220,273,125,176,44,271,274,275,232) AND falang_content.reference_table='modules'

I still haven't article contents in a language different of english, but I think at least the site should be showed.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your help

[setx]

I have installed FaLang component to use multi-language support everything is working fine except the alias structure. When we are switching the language the URL not get changes as per the added alias conversion added into admin section. I tried almost all activities enabling both plugins but still the problem is as it is.

[biirc]

@argie01 : add a content language corresponding at your site language
@setx : you need to use the last version 1.3.0 and edit and save your menu translation to make it available with translation.

hi pe7er
I'm looking for this topic
Here, I review http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... &start=420

Initially I was really excited when FaLang appeared, but now I'm not so sure. I work on a lot of multilingual sites, and I don't want to get get stranded with multilingual Joomla 2.5 sites as has happened to me with many Joomla 1.5 sites I developed with JoomFish

Hello,
I'm using Joomla 3 and Falang.

Everything is ok!

Just a little problem: the flags in horizontal display have bullets! It doesn't make sense. How can I remove the bullets by the flags?

I tried to change the css of my Template with list-style: none; It doesn't work.

Can anyome help me?

Thank you!

[infograf768]

By using Firebug on Firefox, you will find exactly which css is concerned.

[esti1+]

Thank you Jean-Marie for your answer.

I tried with Firefox and Firebug but I coudn't find the solution. I can remove all the bullets but I need the bullets for other lists. I would like to remove the bullet just for the flags of Falang.

Here is my http://www.gallerymoser.ch/.
Maybe you can help me.

Thank!

[infograf768]

Your template is using images as bullets

Code: Select all

.art-block ul > li:before {
    bottom: 2px;
    content: url("../images/blockbullets.png");
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;
    margin-left: -10px;
    margin-right: 6px;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

I could get rid of the bullets by creating this css:

Code: Select all

div.mod-languages ul > li:before {
 content: none;
}

You may have to test for unwanted effects

Hello Jean-Marie!
Thank you so much! It works! I can now breath... happy!

Have a nice day!

I have tried that component into a 5 language site and at me didn't worked and even more soon after testing it i had severe problems on the hosting server witch i don't exclude to be from there.
I have removed the falang and at the moment same like you I'm waiting for the official JF for j1.7.

First of all if you use Joomla 1.7 you are in great danger of loosing your site to a hack at any moment.

Read http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=625&t=691030 how to upgrade

Next Falang works like a charm in both J25 and J3.3.3. We use it for all multi lingual sites. You are going to be very, very, very patience and become very old if you want to see Joomfish for J25/J33 --> no more development on the Fish......You have 2 alternatives which work well. The rest is garbadge imho. Either native Joomla multi language method (which is horrendous to maintain and setup) or Falang

I thought major releases (assume you mean LTS when you say major release) were to end in .5 .. hence moving to 2.5?

No I did not mean LTS. LTS and STS are no longer with us for almost one year now. https://docs.joomla.org/Release_and_support_cycle
