Welcome to MODx and to YAMS.

I struggled a lot to get things up and running, due to a lack of documentation. Inside the documentation of the module, well call me stupid but I could not understand a lot of it.
I agree that there is lots of scope for improving the documentation. Any feedback on how it could be improved would be gratefully received. Which versions of YAMS and MODx are you using by the way?

Since I’m new to Modx, i’m just getting arround of using the chunks and snippets. But how do I make a chunk and apply a language identifiers inside the chunks code so that it outputs the correct language?
The best way to do it is as follows. Create one chunk for each language. Use the following naming convention to name the chunks mychunkname_langid. eg: mychunkname_en, mychunkname_fr etc. Then, to include the correct chunk in your document use this snippet call:
[[YAMS? &get=`chunk` &from=`mychunkname`]]


See
Modules>YAMS>Documentation>Snippet
and (
Modules>YAMS>Documentation>How To?

for more info.

I would also like a simple language chooser, how do i create such a menu? Right now i got it to work but only by inputting dirrect links inside the template that links to the home page of that language.
Use one of the following snippet calls:
[[YAMS? &get=`list`]]

or
[[YAMS? &get=`selectform`]]


The output can be customised using the &beforetpl, &repeattpl, &currenttpl and &aftertpl template parameters. You might want to take a look at this post which explains how to use these parameters to make a list of flags.

Then asside from this problem, when i make a new resource I have tabs named after the languages I configured but all the languages and input fields show up under the first tab. How do I fix that?
You’ll need to make sure you have the ManagerManager plugin installed and correctly configured for use with YAMS to get the tabbed interface. (It’s installed by default with MODx 1.0.2.) Here are the instructions from the most recent version of the YAMS readme.txt:

To set up ManagerManager so that it provides a tabbed document interface, please
do the following:

1. Check that the ManagerManager plugin is installed under
Elements > Manage Elements > Plugins. If not, it can be obtained from the
MODx repository:
http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=255
The latest version is generally recommended, but please keep an eye on the
forums for reports of any problems.
2. Modify the ManagerManager plugin configuration so that it knows to find
custom ManagerManager rules in a chunk called mm_rules. In newer versions
this can be set using the configuration tab. In older versions this is done
by including the line
$config_chunk = ’mm_rules’;
in the plugin code.
3. Under Elements > Manage Elements > Chunks, create a chunk called mm_rules and
add the following line:

require( $modx->config[’base_path’] . ’assets/modules/yams/yams.mm_rules.inc.php’ );

If you are already using custom ManagerManager rules, then it is advisable to
place the YAMS require line at the end of the rules.
This will work with the latest YAMS alpha version, which I would recommend using/upgrading to at this stage. If you are using and want to stick with the 1.0.5 beta version, then you may find the patch for YAMS 1.0.5 beta and Evo 1.0.2 provided by @ddim useful.]]> PaulSuckling Nov 22, 2009, 04:31 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/45463/yams-help-needed#dis-post-263090 <![CDATA[Yams Help needed]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/45463/yams-help-needed#dis-post-263089
I’m new to the MODX communiy and chose to use MODX for my next project. Now, this project is a multilingual one. So a good understanding of the YAMS module will be essential.

I struggled a lot to get things up and running, due to a lack of documentation. Inside the documentation of the module, well call me stupid but I could not understand a lot of it.

I now have a multilingual template, can enter most of the multilingual content and got wayfinder to output the right menu-titles. So its working... smiley

Since I’m new to Modx, i’m just getting arround of using the chunks and snippets. But how do I make a chunk and apply a language identifiers inside the chunks code so that it outputs the correct language?

Can anyone send me an example or something so that I can understand it better?

I would also like a simple language chooser, how do i create such a menu? Right now i got it to work but only by inputting dirrect links inside the template that links to the home page of that language.

Then asside from this problem, when i make a new resource I have tabs named after the languages I configured but all the languages and input fields show up under the first tab. How do I fix that?

Any help will by highly appreciated.
