Complete multi-language package

I'm working on a complete multi-language package using MIGxMultiLang.

It has a fairly simple MIGx-based gallery and a fully working contact form.

I used Vapor to package it on my localhost, and imported it via Package Manager to a MODX Cloud installation. For some reason the MIGx didn't get installed properly, but all I had to do was re-install MIGx from the Package Manager and all was well.

I'd like some feedback, what else would you like to see functioning in such a package?

http://langs.sottwell.modxcloud.com

There is a Manager guest login, username 'guest', login 'guestuser'. It is limited to read-only for resources, elements and a subset of files.

Taken down for now; some problems when upgrading. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 9 years, 6 months ago.]

hi sottwell, cannot access to manager (blank page)

blank page indeed

Yeah, I know. The MODX Cloud decided that it didn't like me this morning. It's being looked into.

Fortunately it was set up with a Vapor snapshot from localhost development, so once the Cloud gets kicked into shape at most I'll just re-install the snapshot.

Ok, it's back up again at http://lang.sottwell.modxcloud.com (on good ol' Texas servers this time, none of that fancy-pants Euro stuff!)

Guest login is available as guest - guestuser.

Taken down; see first post.

Permissions for components and system functionality is not very granular, but I will slowly add more viewing features as time passes.First step will be to hack migx and migxmultilang until they can be viewed but not changed. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 9 years, 6 months ago.]

This is looking and working great, Susan!

If you want to give me full access, I could try to see, if you can't call getImageList normal uncached, so it gets cached for each language.

Also, a pdoPage - call with some blog-entries, would be nice.

I just saw, you had it allready normal cached.

I'm going to be working on setting up the blog using your migxdb managing child resources tutorial.

I'm slowly beginning to understand how the caching works - I've always thought that there should be a way to cache multiple versions of the same page, ever since I developed a template-switching plugin that only worked on uncached resources.

yeah, I know, its a bit unusual to have only a snippet-call as a wrapper-snippet at the template to switch between languages/templates or what not, but I found this to be the simplest, most flexible and best working solution for me.

you can also allways call the whole thing uncached with &cache=`0` in the mmlCache - call.

Or you can split it up into multiple mmlCache-calls, some with, others without &cache=`0`

with this, it should be possible to have a tab for each language in the form-window and a custom-update-processor, to store the different languages.
