Re: YAMS: Yet Another Multilingual Solution

@mikefluff. I have never used Weblogin with YAMS before. There is a setting under YAMS > Other Options that allows YAMS to accept standard MODx URLs for specified documents. Weblogin might work if you specify the id of your login document (or just use *). I can look into YAMS-ifying it when I get back. However, I looked at the Weblogin code quite a while ago back and it wasn’t very pretty. I’d much rather YAMS-ify WebloginPE.

I just installed YAMS by following the very detailed and clear instructions. But am seeing a strange problem. When i set Document Layout to "Tabify..." all of the fields at the top of the edit page down to the ’Menu Index’ field become invisible and the YAMS fields are listed below the content box but without any tabs. Firebug shows all of the fields in place with the proper content. It even shows their outline but the top half of the page is white. I tried to look for the css or templates as it seems like a presentation problem but no luck.

This happens for all documents not just the ones using multi-lingual templates. Changing Document Layout to list fixes the issue.

I’m running Evo 1.0.1 and the modx is installed in the project subfolder (http://devbox.net/project/htdocs/). I have set the MODx subdirectory folder to project/htdocs as well as the .htaccess RewriteBase to /project/htdocs/.
Manager does not have an .htaccess file.

ManagerManager has been installed and configured according to the instructions. JQuery is set to ’local’.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.


After further research i identified an issue with ManagerManager that might be the cause of this. For some reason ManagerManager does not honor the rename and hide rules for fields. I was able to rename a tab and a field’s help text though. But it ignores mm_hideFields and mm_renameField rules.

I did manage to get YAMS working without ManagerManager though.
Will continue trying to figure this out. I would really like tabify to work.

It’s an excellent plugin with a lot of power. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hi PMS and other YAMS-ifiers

I now have YAMS working very well on a commercial site - quitsmokingin10days.com - as detailed at earlier stages in this thread.

In private, PMS helped me with lots of issues as we found very slow page loads etc. I think this process helped the YAMS script as a whole, as PMS was able to significantly reduce the number of calls to the database, in an attempt to help my speed issues.

Even after these optimizations, I still had some speed issues.

So, I wanted to update PMS that, finally, I got dreamhost to move me to a completely new sql and apache server setup (they are really good like that) and this instantly solved all my problems. The site is now lightning fast and in hindsight the major problem was something with the SQL server.


Thanks PMS, for YAMS, and all the help you gave me trying to solve my problems with the install.


On to other things - I am now tweaking the manager interface for the content editors, and I found some problems on my install with the YAMS + ManagerManager combo. I am using the very latest ManagerManager (0.3.5) and the very latest YAMS (rc7).

1. The "description" field never hides like it is supposed to, even though it is explicitly hidden in my mm_rules chunk. Other fields in the same call do hide - just description doesn’t.

2. The "mono" content field shows on all tabs, even though I have "Hide Fields" enabled in the YAMS settings. I am also tabifying TVs by lang.

Has anyone got this behaviour?

Thanks.

Are you running MODx Evo 1.0.0 or Evo 1.0.1? Some people have reported some problems with Evo 1.0.1 and MM. I’ll try to check out MM 0.3.5 this weekend.

- I have another question, is it better to update to the rc7 version?

- Ho can u skip between your languages with a link?

[[YAMS? &get=`list`]]

I have the same issue, I have just installed modx 1.0.1
ManagerManager - 0.3.5
YAMS Version: 1.0.5 beta

Document Layout isn’t working too.
