Re: YAMS: Yet Another Multilingual Solution

@pms

Thanks a lot.
It wasn’t definitely not an *access* issue (I guess I would have gotten those systems errors slapped around my head)

In the meantime I started from scratch and setup a new modx instance and all the plugins/modules again (YAMS, ManagerManager).

Now it seems to work.

I’m not sure what caused the other instance to not output the wayfinder-menu.

Anyway....

Thanks for the support and for sharing your work!

Great! Glad it’s working for you now.

Yet another release candidate of Yet Another Multilingual Solution is now available for download: YAMS 1.1.7 alpha RC5. This is a bug fix release:

- Bug fix: Fixed a bug whereby on first save of a newly created multilingual document, pagetitles and aliases would not get updated.
- Bug fix: Fixed an URL encoding issue. The php header function accepts a plain text URL, but YAMS was passing it an HTML encoded URL.
- Bug fix: The new multilingual URL capability had broken query parameter mode and non-friendly URLs. Fixed.

Hi PMS

YAMS works great, but I was wondering if you have by any chance a documentation of how to make a custom tv.
I saw the one in the HowTo-Tab, but I want to add customized TV’s in the manager.

Anything?

I’m not entirely sure I understand what you mean. Hopefully this will answer your question:

You can create normal template variables and assign them to documents in the standard way, via: Elements > Manage Elements > Template Variables > New Template Variable.

If you want a template variable to appear on a specific tab of a multilingual document, just make sure the name of the template variable ends in _langId, where langId is the appropriate language id. So, you could create a template variable called keywords_en, for example.

If you have created several language variants of the same template variable: customtv_en, customtv_fr, ... and you want YAMS to choose the correct one, then insert the following into your document template:

EDIT: I’ll add this to the How To? tab for the next release.

@PMS

Here is an example:
I created a sitetemplate *tplCustom*.
Then I created a tv for each language (e.f. tvMyElement_de, tvMyElement_en) and assigned them to the sitetemplate *tplCustom*.

(Open a ressource in the editor:)
The newly assigned tvs’ appear on each manager-tab and NOT per language.

I ran the YAMS-Module (-> Tab "Multilingual Templates"), did not help.

Is there a step I’m missing?

Thanks again for your help!

You’re managing the tvs correctly - but there is some problem. Other people have had occasional problems with tvs not appearing on the correct tab in the past with ManagerManager 0.3.2(.1). I have just tested with tvs called tvMyElement_... as above and ManagerManager 0.3.4 and it works fine for me.

If you’re using MODx Evo and you are not using the very latest version of ManagerManager (0.3.4) please can you try upgrading to see if that solves your problem?

Thanks.

@pms

Thank you for replying.

Actually I do have ManagerManager 0.3.4 installed.
I tried renaming and adding new ones etc., no luck.

Anything else?

Am I right in thinking that you have more than one custom template variable per language tab? If that’s the case, then I think I have just found and corrected the bug. Attached is an updated yams.mm_rules.inc.php file. Please can you give it the right file extension, use it to overwrite your current file and tell me if that fixes the problem for you?

Thanks.

Hi PMS

Actually, at the time of posting there was only one custom tv.

But, I found the bug, not the solution:
If type is other than "List (multiselect)" it’s working as expected.
But there is something wrong with the multiple-Select.

Maybe this *rings* a bell?
