Multi-language page names / URLs

[ryan]

Thanks Soma, that one is fixed now.

[Soma]

Not sure what about it, but when I'm logged out (guest) the language page names doesn't work at all, it just throws 404 on front-end. When I uninstall the module I can access the pages (without language url) just fine.

to.check some checkboxen active o no ?

[Soma]

Ah ok that something. But the languages are active.

But I had on the home, entered "en" in both default and german language name.

I corrected that and have now 

default

"en"

german

"de"

on home page.

Now the german pages work for guest user but NOT the default language, it just shows 404.

Now the url is /en/about/, but the page about shows only /about/ as the url. So somehow the language segment for default language doesn't work for default, but works on the alternative languages.

So if I remove the "en" on home name it works. So there seems to be a bug.

[ryan]

Thanks Soma, I can reproduce that. I was not using a segment for my default language, so hadn't noticed. It should be fixed on the dev branch.

Hello Processwire-Community,

I have installed German Language Module from here: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/925-german-de-de/

While trying to enable multi-language, I got that:

Error:     Exception: Unknown column 'field_title.data1009' in 'field list'
(in /Users/c/Sites/processwire/wire/core/Database.php line 118)

Any solutions???

What version of ProcessWire? (I couldn't tell from the screenshots). What are the steps to reproduce? For instance, after which action did the error start occurring?

Thanks,

Ryan

Latest PW. Nothing special, no matter from where iI call the find. Not sure what else to say. I will test with another install again.

Wrong thread! Sorry.

[kixe]

Thats right Soma its the latest Version 2.3.
What I did:
1) Admin -> Modules | enabled Languages Support and Languages Support -Fields
2) Admin -> setup -> Languages -> Add New ("german")
3) Admin -> Setup -> Languages -> Install from file http://processwire.c...5-german-de-de/
4) Admin -> Setup -> Fields -> Body | changed the Type from Textarea to TextareaLanguage
5) Warning: Screenshot 2 (my_last_post_above) Warning ignored
6) Error: Screenshot 1 (of_my_last_post_above) occured
7) Admin -> Setup -> Fields -> Title | changed the Type from PageTitle to PageTitleLanguage
8) Warning: Screenshot 2 (my_last_post_above) Warning ignored
9) Database crashed, Error: Screenshot 3 occured

I am just playing around with the system and the example page. Until now I didn't put in any data.
I need the possibility of multi language editing in the backend.

Uppps I posted this from mobile and my mind was in another thread of mine... So ignore my post!

[kixe]

I installed PW again. I did step 2 and 3 after 4 and 7 and changed all the other field types to the **Langage - Type too.
Its working now. no errors

I have downloaded a fresh Processwire from the homepage and I am not seeing the screenshots as in Ryans screengrabs

What am I missing ?

[apeisa]

Those active boxes are on the dev branch.

 I'm not sure, but could be that you have the last stable PW and this feature you looking for is only in last dev-branch:

EDIT: Ok, apeisa is to fast for me

Ah, good good thanks both of you for pointing that out. Is there a way to update my current installation to the latest dev branch ?

replace the complete wire folder with the new one, but keep the sites-folder unchanged (just delete / copy or rename to backup and copy new)

[Soma]

Replace only wire folder and do clap your hands two times. Done.

[petsagouris]

Replaced the 'wire' folder from the dev branch but still the same. I have even tried typing the path again hoping that it will get added but nothing has changed.

I also clapped my hands twice that didn't work too

[horst]

Hhm, that's a thing for the pro's.

Only thing what comes to my mind is if you use an AdminTheme in your sites-folder you can do one test with it disabled (renamed) to see if the missing elements get suppressed by it. ??

[petsagouris]

Disabled the admin theme still no path prefix to the other language page. http://i.imgur.com/2FjYvBW.png

Sorry, have no more ideas. It's up to the pro's here.

Not a problem. Thanks for your help and persistence so far

[Soma]

What are you missing again? Paths prefixes? you mean like /de/... /en/... ?

Those are set on the homepage name.

AHAH! Thats it!! At the most logical of places. Thanks for the tip Soma!

I've been making regular updates on the dev branch to the LanguageSupportPageNames module, so if you guys are using this, you may want to keep track of the updates. The good news is that this module is now running a production site: http://tripsite.com/cruises/ (only the /cruises/ site, as the rest of the site is running on a different copy of PW). 

This morning I pushed an update that makes it easier to tell if a given $page is viewable in another language. Now you can do this:

if($page->viewable($language)) { ... } // Language object
if($page->viewable('es')) { ... } // Language name

That is basically telling you if the page has its "active" checkbox checked. Since these pages would already be excluded from search results, you don't typically need to use it except when on a given page and trying to determine what other languages that page is available in (like if you want to link to them, as the select box at the top of tripsite does).
