Wayfinder & Babel

Hi all,

I install Babel with to languages (German and English). I want for both sides only one template. How do I managed the different ID of the Resources in Wayfinder? Example: In the German Version HOME has the ID 1 and in the English Version the ID 2.

Sorry, I hope my English isn't too bad.

Thanks,
Michael

Are your languages separate contexts?

Yes, two separate contexts.

Create context settings in your two contexts. Something like about_page_id and set it to the id you want for that context. Then, pass those into your Wayfinder call.

Wouldn't that be site_start?

Well I think the goal is to create links to resources not just the homepage for the given context, but ya to home pages absolutely.

I just learned this today but you can use URI instead of ID if you wish. Could prevent needing a context setting at all.

Hi mibolu,

Use the wayfinder as this


And in the context settings you have to put some values as you can see in the attachement.

And don't forget to create a gateway-plugin. Details here:

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you all a lot.

I will try your solutions and hope I bring it to work.
I'm a beginner with MODx, but there are a lot of great tutorials
in the Web!!
