Answered Tutorial for MigxMultiLang extra [Update: Tutorial now online!]

I have a question about this add-on:

- I have two languages English and Spanish. I just want to use the normal content field or the English language. And for the Spanish translation i want to use the translation TV (template variabel). Does anybody know how to do this? I tried some things, but now i have a blank page, while i have the normal content field filled in.

Hi,

If you want to use the normal content field for the default language just use [[+content]] in your chunk. ( instead of [[+mml_content]] )

I have an other problem with migx add-on.

My site werks perfect in browser on pc. When i open it on mobile or ipad the following problem occurs:

- the content from the TV's (template variables) and images don't load

but this only occurs when i open my site without the "/en/" behind it (from the language add-on). When i use an url like: www.site.com/en/ it works perfect.

did you try to prefix the pathes to your images with [[++original_site_url]]

yes in the template file i have put it before the css link and images

But the strange thing is that it works when i go to www.siteurl.com/en/ but it doesn't when i use just www.siteurl.com, only on mobile/ipad as i said, it works perfect in my browser.

this really does sound strange.

when you output the image-urls on screen,

not with but just:

so you can see the generated url at your mobile, are they correct?

i used:



on browser and on mobile version with "/en/" behind the url, it works good and i get:



On the mobile version without "/en/" behind the url i get:



it loads the css though, it seems it just doesn't loads the mml template variables.

----------

i also tried using "site_url" instead of "original_site_url", then i get this on the browser/pc version:



the strange thing is, i get the same url, but without "/en/" on the mobile version (while using the url without /en/):

Hello!

I'm totaly new at MODX an looks good so far, but I just can't get this multilingual thing working. I tried several times on all the tutorials that I could find but I can't finnish it because I don't have FQN of pdoFetch in my settings I tried everithing but always faild here. Is there something different in MODX Revolution 2.4.3-pl for this or am I missing something? Or is there any update on this?

Thank you very much

Hi roychgod,

Did you select pdotools from the dropdown menu in system settings?

There are other ways of setting up multi-lingual websites in MODX if you're having trouble with migxmultiling.

If you're happy using multiple contexts, my current favourite is:
https://modx.today/posts/2015/05/using-xrouting-for-multilingual-websites-in-modx

Or you could use Lingua which keeps everything on one context (similar to migxmultilang)

Thank you for answer
Yes I selected the pdoTools from drop down, but I don't have the FQN of pdoFetch settings there, I see many others for pdotools.
What would be the best way to create multilingual site.
