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.

I can confirm that tvs of type "Listbox (multiselect)" don’t get moved to the right tab. I can also confirm that MODx IS telling ManagerManager to move such tvs - it’s just that ManagerManager is not doing it. So this is a ManagerManager bug, not a YAMS bug. I’ll post a quick bug report on the ManagerManager forum.

Yes. If you are prepared to edit your ManagerManager source code to fix it, then there is. Please see this managermanager forum post for a solution.

@PMS how stable is the version with the multilingual aliases? I am about to start a new multilingual site, would be cool to be able to use multilingual aliases

But I need to be sure that it’s stable, the project has to be finished in a few days wink

Calling all YAMS users.

I hope that the current alpha version of YAMS is converging towards a more stable state now and so I’d like to release a beta. If any YAMS users knows of any outstanding bugs/niggles/problems, please can you report them now? Thanks.

My plan is to release one more alpha version with some minor efficiency improvements today or tomorrow. Then, another alpha with:

- additional bug fixes based on bug reports provided by you if necessary
- removal of some options that I think are no longer required, like the option to disable automatic manipulation of template variables by YAMS (shout if you disagree)
- a review and update of the documentation

and then finally release as an beta.

I’d love to be able to say that it’s pretty stable now... Certainly, http://nashi.podzone.org/ is using multilingual aliases just fine. The problem is that I have no statistics to confirm that and everyone like to configure their YAMS installs differently. No bugs have been reported since the last update to URL related behaviour - but similarly, I don’t know how many people are actually using multilingual aliases in anger yet. It would be good to know. If any yams users are happily using multilingual aliases please can they let us know? If you do decide to go for it, it would be wise to spend an hour installing it and doing some basic tests for the configuration you want before proceeding with the rest of the site. That way you wont have lost too much time if it doesn’t work out.

YAMS 1.1.7 alpha RC6

Most of the languageicons have been removed from the distribution. The full set can be downloaded from http://www.languageicon.org/
Removed the ’do you want to allow YAMS to manage multilingual template variables’ option from the multilingual templates tab.
Tweaks to the module interface to make it easier to to find submit buttons.
Removed some unneeded checks in frequently executed code for efficiency
Bug Fix: Fixed a couple of errors whereby YAMS was trying to access a regexp match that was undefined (rather than empty)
Bug Fix: Fixed an error that could potentially result in YAMS not correctly identifying an HTTPS connection.
Efficiency improvements.
1) YAMS removes empty constructs instead of processing them.
2) When loading monolingual documents, now only the default language variant is parsed. Previously all language variants were parsed but only one was served. Monolingual documents will be served approx 1/n times faster, where n is the number of languages.
3) As soon as a document is loaded from cache YAMS now strips out superfluous language variants. Previously it evaluated all language variants but served just one. For documents with a lot of uncachable content this can lead to an improvement in speed of approx 1/n, where n is the number of languages.
Bug Fix: Updated the managermanager rules to fix a bug whereby if more than one custom tv was assigned to a language, only the last would be tabified.

Hello;

Sorry, I am a "newbie"… so it should be a stupid question... but :
I setup 2 languages "English" and "Spanish" but in the Manager when I creat or modifie a post with multilangual template activated, I got 3 time all the fields.
1: Title
- - - -
2: Title (english)
- - - -
3: Title (spanish)

and this for all the field. and I need only 2 same field (one for each languages)

I setup English as defaut language;

What is my mistake ?
Thanks; and sorry again, but this (great) module, is a little bit too dificult for me…

(Following the instructions in the readme.txt.) To get a tabbed interface you’ll need to:

1. Make sure that ManagerManager is installed. The latest version (0.3.4) is recommended if using MODx Evo.
2. Go to Resources/Elements>Plugins>ManagerManager. Modify the plugin configuration so that ManagerManager knows to find the custom ManagerManager rules in a chunk called mm_rules. In newer versions this can be set using the configuration tab. In older versions this is done by including the line

$config_chunk = 'mm_rules';

in the plugin code.
3. Create a chunk called mm_rules and add the following:

require( $modx->config['base_path'] . 'assets/modules/yams/yams.mm_rules.inc.php' );

If you are already using custom ManagerManager rules, then it is advisable to place the YAMS require line at the end of the rules.

You mentioned that you have one field for each language (english + spanish) and you also have the standard document variable field. For multilingual documents the standard document variable fields are redundant, but remain visible by default. You can hide them by going selecting Modules>YAMS>Other Params>Document Layout Settings>Hide Redundant Fields.
