I am trying to find a way to get the language switching (on the frontend) work in a way similar to linguaPdoTools. I want the language switching link only to show up if the current resource is translated. For example: my site is set up for two languages (DE/EN). When i am on a DE resource which is not translated into EN (TV lang_published for EN is set to "no"), i do not want the language switch for EN to show up on the frontend on this site.

Any ideas on how I could handle this?

I got Lingua working - it is great. However I have two questions/issues:

#1: I'm using it for two languages (English and German) and the lingua_selector displays sometimes "Select language" and sometimes "lingua.select_language"
#2: The language selector does something weird with pages which do not have an .html at the end

For issue #1: http://nde-consulting.com/dr.-johannes-vrana.html
For issue #2 (and #1): http://nde-consulting.com/

I "solved" issue #1. The issue is that lingua.select_language is defined in components/lingua/lexicon/en/default.inc.php and that somehow by switching the language the chunk wants to read a different language from the lesxicon - but Lingua only provides en. I "solved" it by just hardcoding "Select language" in the chunk.

Solved issue #2

Replace

$pageURL = http_build_url($pageURL, $parseUrl);

with

$pageURL = http_build_url($parseUrl);

and replace

$pageURL = $parseUrl['scheme'] . '://' . $parseUrl['host'] . '/' . $parseUrl['path'] . $itemUri;

with

if (strstr($parseUrl['path'],$itemUri))
{$pageURL = $parseUrl['scheme'] . '://' . $parseUrl['host'] . $parseUrl['path'];}
else
{$pageURL = $parseUrl['scheme'] . '://' . $parseUrl['host'] . $parseUrl['path'] . $itemUri;}

BACKEND ISSUE

I can not save TV's where the second language has an empty value. After saving and refreshing (Backend) I always get the value of my main language in my second language. Happens with imageTV's, MIGX TV's,...

Example: Main language is German, second language is English.

imageTV (DE selected): imagename-DE.jpg
imageTV (EN selected): imagename-EN.jpg

When I delete the file from the second language:

imageTV (DE selected): imagename-DE.jpg
imageTV (EN selected):

hit save and refresh the page, i get this:

imageTV (DE selected): imagename-DE.jpg
imageTV (EN selected): imagename-DE.jpg

Hi all,

I'm trying to use importX Plugin with Lingua. The website is in german and english is the second language.

Is it possible to change the ImportX db-settings depending on which language I'm importing?

Example: modx_site_content -> modx_lingua_site_content

Thanks!

@joe-petts, you need to contact the importX's author, then.

I am trying to receive translated fields via getImageList INSIDE a pdoResources call.
I am using linguaPdoTools from @Bruno17.
The Problem: In the myGetImageListTpl the value of the MIGX fields do not get translated, the default language is always displayed. Example field: "[[+myField]]"

pdoResources call:

[[!pdoResources? 
&parents=`19`
&depth=`0`
&tpl=`myPdoTpl`
&includeContent=`1`
&sortby=`menuindex`
&sortdir=`ASC`
&limit=`0`
&showUnpublished=`1`
&showHidden=`1`
&tvPrefix=``
&includeTVs=`lang_published,myMigxTV`
&where=`{"TVlang_published.value":"1"}`
]]

myPdoTpl content:

[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`myMigxTV`
&tpl=`myGetImageListTpl`
&limit=`0`
&docid=`[[+id]]`
]]

myGetImageListTpl content:

<li>[[+myField]]</li>

to get the [[+myField]] value i have also tried:

<li>[[!lingua.getValue? &id=`[[+id]]` &field=`myField`]]</li>

<li>[[!lingua.getValue? &id=`[[+id]]` &field=`[[+myField]]`]]</li>

<li>[[!lingua.getValue? &id=`[[+id]]` &field=`[[+migx.title]]`]]</li>

and so on... nothing works.

Any ideas?

how did you setup MIGX?
Do you different field for each language, for example title_de, title_en
Or do you have completely different MIGX-items for each language?

Then they are not stored in the default TV-value, but in the lingua-table and you will need to fetch that value for getImageList from there.

Not sure, but I think something like

[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`myMigxTV`
&value=`[[!lingua.getValue? &id=`[[+id]]` &field=`myMigxTV`]]`
&tpl=`myGetImageListTpl`
&limit=`0`
&docid=`[[+id]]`
]]
